This is a comprehensive guide to all types of natural and man made disasters and their effect on buildings. It gives overall guidance and a basic technical understanding of prevention, mitigation and management of disaster, and outlines a checklist of preventive design elements for each situation.
Every category is illustrated with a case study which pin points the essential information that is crucial to architects and engineers in designing buildings with disaster prevention in mind.
The aim of the book is to give a clear understanding of the nature of events and problems, and to enable readers to respond with knowledge to the unique demands placed on their designs.
A special emphasis is also placed on re-building as an opportunity to start again. For the specialists this is a process of constant learning and improving techniques in the light of events past.
* Gain comprehensive understanding of disaster types and their effects on buildings
* International case studies with clear technical information provide practical advice for disaster prevention and rebuilding
* Looks at the effects of natural and man-made disasters, including terrorist attacks

Handbook of Structural Steelwork-4th Ed.(printable)
_______________________________________________________________
The objective of this publication is to present a practical guide to the design of structural steel elements for buildings. The document comprises three principal Sections: general guidance, design data, and design tables.
The guidance is in accordance with BS 5950-1:2000, Structural use of steelwork in building – Code of practice for design. Rolled and welded section. Worked examples are presented where appropriate. No attempt has been made to consider complete structures, and it is to be noted therefore that certain important design matters are not dealt with – those for instance of overall stability, of interaction between components, and of the overall analysis of a building.
Section on General Design Data includes bending moment diagrams, shear force diagrams and expressions for deflection calculations. A variety of beams and cantilevers with different loading and support conditions are covered. Expressions for properties of geometrical figures are also given, together with useful mathematical solutions and metric conversion factors.
The design tables also include section property, member capacity and ultimate load tables calculated according to BS 5950-1:2000. The tables are preceded by a comprehensive set of explanatory notes. Section ranges listed are those that were readily available at the time of printing. In addition, both hot finished and cold formed structural hollow sections are included in the ‘Tables of Dimensions and Section Properties’.

I had last time downloaded a book on concrete mix design. But now I could not find it on my hard disk nor do I find it on this site can anybody help in this regard
The Introduction to the Mechanics of Soils & Foundations
Mcgraw-Hill College - 1993
336 pages - PDF - 12,7 MB
info:
A theoretical text for the junior/senior core course in soil mechanics and foundations for civil engineering students. It presents the basic theories of soil mechanics in a clear, simple and up-to-date way, combining both classical and critical state theories. This is one of the only texts that adopts the critical state approach to soil mechanics at an undergraduate level. The treatment of soil mechanics is essentially theoretical, but is not highly mathematical and soil behavior is represented by relatively simple equations with clearly defined parameters.

Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation
Proceedings of the conference held at the Kingston University,
United Kingdom, 9 - 10 September 2008
By Mukesh C Limbachiya, Hsein Y. Kew
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
594 pages

ISBN: 0415475929
English
Product Description:
The concrete industry has embraced innovation and ensured high levels of long-term performance and sustainability through creative applications in design and construction. As a construction material, the versatility of concrete and its intrinsic benefits mean it is still well placed to meet challenges of the construction industry. Indeed, concrete has kept evolving to satisfy ever more stringent, as well as demanding design requirements and calls to improve the performance. This has been achieved through the introduction of new constituent materials, technologies and construction methods.
The current challenges faced by concrete construction may not necessarily be the same as those in the future. However, an ongoing programme of innovation and product development means that concrete should continue to provide cost effective sustainable solutions that are able to turn a challenge into an opportunity.
This book is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation (Kingston-upon-Thames, UK, 9–10 September 2008). Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation deals with recent innovation in concrete science, technology and practice, and discusses challenges from new materials, technologies,
environmental concerns and economic factors in maintaining concrete construction excellence. The book will be of interest to engineers, designers, researchers and scientists.

Essential Image Processing and GIS for Remote Sensing
Jian Guo Liu, Philippa Mason,
Wiley 2009
ISBN-10: 0470510323
460 Pages
PDF 23,3 MB
Essential Image Processing and GIS for Remote Sensing is an accessible overview of the subject and successfully draws together these three key areas in a balanced and comprehensive manner. The book provides an overview of essential techniques and a selection of key case studies in a variety of application areas.
Key concepts and ideas are introduced in a clear and logical manner and described through the provision of numerous relevant conceptual illustrations. Mathematical detail is kept to a minimum and only referred to where necessary for ease of understanding. Such concepts are explained through common sense terms rather than in rigorous mathematical detail when explaining image processing and GIS techniques, to enable students to grasp the essentials of a notoriously challenging subject area.
The book is clearly divided into three parts, with the first part introducing essential image processing techniques for remote sensing. The second part looks at GIS and begins with an overview of the concepts, structures and mechanisms by which GIS operates. Finally the third part introduces Remote Sensing Applications. Throughout the book the relationships between GIS, Image Processing and Remote Sensing are clearly identified to ensure that students are able to apply the various techniques that have been covered appropriately. The latter chapters use numerous relevant case studies to illustrate various remote sensing, image processing and GIS applications in practice.
