Dear all
Am currently studying civil engineering level 2
as far as geotechnical engineering is concerned can i ask you where can i get the following ref book for download
basic soil mechanics by R Whitlow
I am currently designing wind turbine tower but having challanges to figure out loadings. If you have any information regarding to this topic, please share. Any help would appreciated.

Abraham Rokach, "Schaum's Outline of Structural Steel Design"
McGraw-Hill | 1991 | ISBN: 0070535639 | 210 pages | PDF | 44,3 MB
This study guide is one of the few sources of comprehensive instruction about load and resistance factor design,which is gradually becoming the standard method of designing structural steel. Written for anyone with the basic knowledge of engineering mechanics needed for any undergraduate course in structural steel design, its problem-solving approach makes this book ideal for undergraduate and graduate engineering and architectural students, and for practicing engineers, architects and structural detailers as well.

Product Description
This book is one of the best-known and most respected books in geotechnical engineering. In its third edition, it presents both theoretical and practical knowledge of soil mechanics in engineering. It features expanded coverage of vibration problems, mechanics of drainage, passive earth pressure, and consolidation.
From the Publisher
One of the best-known and most respected books on geotechnical engineering, this updated version features expanded coverage of vibration problems, mechanics of drainage, passive earth pressure and consolidation. In the years since publication of the past editions there has been a proliferation of soil mechanics research, much of it irrelevant to engineering practice. It is the aim of the authors to bring order out of this confusion.

Aggregates: Sand, Gravel and Crushed Rock Aggregates for Construction Purposes
info:
Aggregates: Sand, Gravel and Crushed Rock Aggregates for Construction Purposes
Geological Society of London | 2001 | ISBN 1862390797 | 360 Pages | 11 MB
In 1985, the Geological Society published Aggregates as the first volume in its Engineering Geology Special Publication series. It met with immediate acclaim, being awarded the Brewis Trophy by SAGA in 1986 and drawing the following review from the Canadian Geotechnical Journal in 1988: This book is in general a well-researched, informative and useful guide to the location, sampling and testing of aggregates. If your work involves the use of aggregates, buy this book and read no further; this volume will be an essential and valuable reference that you will use for many years. In 1989, the working party whose work had resulted in the publication of Aggregates was reconvened to revise, update and extend their report. Each chapter was reviewed by independent referees. The second and greatly improved edition, published in 1993 and reprinted in 1998, represented the distillation of a vast body of knowledge and experience held not only by the members of the working party, but also by many international experts, scientists and engineers who contributed as reviewers, referees and corresponding authors.

Geotechnical Laboratory Measurements for Engineers
info:
John T. Germaine, Amy V. Germaine, "Geotechnical Laboratory Measurements for Engineers"
Wiley | 2009-06-02 | ISBN: 0470150939 | 368 pages | PDF | 18,3 MB
A comprehensive guide to the most useful geotechnical laboratory measurements
Cost effective, high quality testing of geo-materials is possible if you understand the important factors and work with nature wisely. Geotechnical Laboratory Measurements for Engineers guides geotechnical engineers and students in conducting efficient testing without sacrificing the quality of results.
Useful as both a lab manual for students and as a reference for the practicing geotechnical engineer, the book covers thirty of the most common soil tests, referencing the ASTM standard procedures while helping readers understand what the test is analyzing and how to interpret the results.
Features include:
•Explanations of both the underlying theory of the tests and the standard testing procedures
•The most commonly-taught laboratory testing methods, plus additional advanced tests
•Unique discussions of electronic transducers and computer controlled tests not commonly covered in similar texts
•A support website at

Supplement No. 1 to ANSI/AISC 358-05 August 4, 2009 from American Institute of Steel Construction
(Chicago, IL) – A valuable resource that provides a greater variety of prequalified moment connections options for special moment frames (SMF) and intermediate moment frames (IMF) is now available for designers of steel structures in high seismic regions.
ANSI/AISC 358-05s1 is a supplement to the 2005 AISC standard, Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications. The document modifies an existing prequalified moment connection and adds three new prequalified moment connections.
When it was first introduced in 2005, AISC Prequalified Connections covered three connection types: reduced beam section (RBS) moment connections, bolted unstiffened extended end-plate (BUEEP) moment connections, and bolted stiffened extended end-plate (BSEEP) moment connections. A limitation was necessary at that time on both of the prequalified extended end-plate moment connections: they could not be used with composite concrete structural slabs in SMF.
Supplement No. 1 to ANSI/AISC 358-05 provides three more prequalified connection types and eliminates the prohibition of composite slabs for extended end-plate moment connections in SMF. Supplement No. 1 also adds prequalified details for bolted flange plate (BFP) moment connections, welded unreinforced flange - welded web (WUF-W) moment connections, and Kaiser bolted bracket (KBB) moment connections.
ANSI/AISC 358-05s1 is available for free download along with ANSI/AISC 358-05, ANSI/AISC341-05, and ANSI/AISC 360-05 at:

Time Effects in Rock Mechanics (Materials Modelling & computation)
info:
Time Effects in Rock Mechanics (Materials Modelling&computation)
By N. D. Cristescu, U. Hunsche
Publisher: Wiley
Number Of Pages: 350
Publication Date: 1998-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0471955175
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780471955177
Product Description:
The world requires an increasing number of underground facilities for applications such as storage, waste repositories and traffic. Accurate prediction of the stability and deformation of these facilities is essential, and calls for model calculations using reliable and comprehensive constitutive equations describing the mechanical behaviour of the rocks involved, particularly the time-dependent effects. Here the authors combine their knowledge and personal experience in this field to encourage the practical use of material laws based on a sound physical and mathematical basis. Further discussion and research on the time-dependent behaviour of rocks and related materials is supported in the text by more than 200 figures. The text covers elasticity, creep, dilatancy, creep failure and short term failure, experimental techniques and test results, micromechanical deformation mechanisms, viscoplasticity and computation using appropriate constitutive equations, including many fundamental model calculations. Rock mechanics incorporates aspects of many disciplines including structural geology, soil mechanics, material sciences, civil, mining and petroleum engineering, seismology and geophysics. This book will therefore find a wide appreciation amongst engineers, researchers and graduate students in these and other related areas.
