BM TRADA's Eurocode 5 Span Tables is a well-established key resource in timber specification and building. It is an essential tool for calculating the size of solid, softwood, timber members necessary to give adequate support to floors, ceilings and roofs in dwellings.
The 4th edition includes:
NEW section of:
- trimmer tables: span tables for doubled-up trimmer and trimming joists are now included and are consistent with the permanent loading situations of the floor joists' tables. Reactions and fastener tables are included.
Revisions for:
- enhanced shear strength: those spans where shear is the governing criterion have been improved
- enhanced bearing strength: the bearing lengths required have reduced, which in turn increased the clear spans in some instances
- changes to some section sizes: an industry survey has prompted changes to the range of member sizes offered in the tables
Improved sections:
- on how to use the span tables
- frequently asked questions are addressed in the notes alongside the tables
Eurocode 5 span tables for solid timber members in floors, ceilings and roofs for dwellings is:
- the definitive reference guide to softwood sizes and spans for designers, specifiers and builders
- designed to supplement the England and Wales Approved Documents and it is applicable to timber design in other UK jurisdictions
- researched and written by BM TRADA, the experts on timber
Span tables were originally included in the England and Wales Building Regulations, Approved Document A: Structure. The tables are still referenced as guidance but the later editions of these tables have been produced and updated separately by BM TRADA.
Tables are included for domestic floor joists, ceiling joists and binders, rafters, and purlins supporting rafters for traditional pitched roofs. Calculations are also given for purlins supporting roof sheeting or cladding, and for flat roof joists, but trussed rafter roofs are excluded.
The tables cover softwood species and grade combinations which satisfy strength classes C16 and C24.

Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (6th Edition)
Author(s): Leonard Spiegel, Craig D’Allaird, George F. Limbrunner | Size: 35 MB | Format:epub | Publisher: Prentice Hall, Pearson | Year: 2015 | pages: 552 | ISBN: 9780133840544
This resource provides the necessary background in mechanics that is essential in many fields, such as civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing technologies. The focus is on the fundamentals of material statics and strength and the information is presented using an elementary, analytical, practical approach, without the use of Calculus. To ensure understanding of the concepts, rigorous, comprehensive example problems follow the explanations of theory, and numerous homework problems at the end of each chapter allow for class examples, homework problems, or additional practice for students. Updated and completely reformatted, the Sixth Edition of Applied Statics and Strength of Materials features color in the illustrations, chapter-opening Learning Objectives highlighting major topics, updated terminology changed to be more consistent with design codes, and the addition of units to all calculations.

562-16 Code Requirements for Assessment, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Structures and Commentary
DESCRIPTION
ACI 562-16, “Code Requirements for Assessment, Repair and Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Structures” was developed to provide design professionals involved in the assessment of existing concrete structures a code for the assessment of the damage and deterioration, and the design of appropriate repair and rehabilitation strategies. The code provides minimum requirements for assessment, repair, and rehabilitation of existing structural concrete buildings, members, systems and where applicable, nonbuilding structures. ACI 562-16 was specifically developed to work with the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) or to be adopted as a stand-alone code.
This book examines mathematical tools, principles, and fundamental applications of continuum mechanics, providing a solid basis for a deeper study of more challenging problems in elasticity, fluid mechanics, plasticity, piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, magneto-fluid mechanics, and state changes. The work is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering.

This textbook's methodological approach familiarizes readers with the mathematical tools required to correctly define and solve problems in continuum mechanics. Covering essential principles and fundamental applications, this second edition of Continuum Mechanics using Mathematica® provides a solid basis for a deeper study of more challenging and specialized problems related to nonlinear elasticity, polar continua, mixtures, piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, magneto-fluid mechanics and state changes (see A. Romano, A. Marasco, Continuum Mechanics: Advanced Topics and Research Trends, Springer (Birkhäuser), 2010, ISBN 978-0-8176-4869-5). Key topics and features: * Concise presentation strikes a balance between fundamentals and applications * Requisite mathematical background carefully collected in two introductory chapters and one appendix * Recent developments highlighted through coverage of more significant applications to areas such as wave propagation, fluid mechanics, porous media, linear elasticity. This second edition expands the key topics and features to include: * Two new applications of fluid dynamics: meteorology and navigation * New exercises at the end of the existing chapters * The packages are rewritten for Mathematica 9 Continuum Mechanics using Mathematica®: Fundamentals, Applications and Scientific Computing is aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, mathematical physics and engineering. It may serve as a course textbook or self-study reference for anyone seeking a solid foundation in continuum mechanics.
