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.

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)
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.

Mechanics of Materials: A Modern Integration of Mechanics and Materials in Structural Design
By Christopher Jenkins, Sanjeev Khanna
Publisher: Academic Press
Number Of Pages: 408
Publication Date: 2005-03-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0123838525
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123838520
Binding: Hardcover
This new book is the first to bridge the often disparate bodies of knowledge now known as applied mechanics and materials science. Using a very methodological process to introduce mechanics, materials, and design issues in a manner called "total structural design", this book seeks a solution in "total design space" Features of the text include:
* A generalized design template for solving structural design problems.
* Every chapter first introduces mechanics concepts through deformation, equilibrium, and energy considerations. Then the constitutive nature of the chapter topic is presented, followed by a link between mechanics and materials concepts. Details of analysis and materials selection are subsequently discussed.
* A concluding example design problem is provided in most chapters, so that students may get a sense of how mechanics and materials come together in the design of a real structure.
* Exercises are provided that are germane to aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering applications, and include both deterministic and design-type problems.
* Accompanying website contains a wealth of information complementary to this text, including a set of virtual labs. Separate site areas are available for the instructor and students.
* Combines theories of solid mechanics, materials science and structural design in one coherent text/reference
* Covers physical scales from the atomistic to continuum mechanics
* Offers a generalized structural design template

Forensic Geoscience: Principles, Techniques And Applications (Geological Society Special Publication)
By K Pye and D Croft
Publisher: Geological Society of London
Number Of Pages: 318
Publication Date: 2004-01-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1862391610
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781862391611
Product Description:
Forensic geoscience is an increasingly important sub-discipline within geoscience and forensic science. Although minerals, soils, dusts and rock fragments have been used as forensic trace evidence for many years, their true potential has only begun to be recognized in the last ten years or so. The police and other investigative bodies are keen to encourage such developments in the fight against crime, particularly since many criminals show a high level of forensic awareness with regard to evidence such as fingerprints, blood and other body fluids. The papers in this volume illustrate some of the main principles, techniques and applications in current forensic geoscience, covering research and casework in the UK and internationally. The techniques described range from macro-scale field geophysical investigations to micro-scale laboratory studies of the chemical and textural properties of individual particles. In addition to forensic applications, many of these techniques have broad utility in geological, geomorphological, soil science and archaeological research.

Mechanics of Geomaterial Interfaces

Product Description:
Hardbound. The subject of geomaterial interfaces recognizes the important influences of the interface behaviour on the performance of interfaces involving cementaceous materials such as concrete and steel, ice-structure interfaces, concrete-rock interfaces and interfaces encountered in soil reinforcement. During the past two decades, the subject of geomaterial interfaces has attracted the concerted attention of scientists and engineers both in geomechanics and applied mechanics. These efforts have been largely due to the observation that the conventional idealizations of the behaviour of interfaces between materials by frictionless contact, bonded contact, Coulomb friction or finite friction tend to omit many interesting and important influences of special relevance to geomaterials. The significant manner in which non-linear effects, dilatancy, contact degradation, hardening and softening, etc., can influence the behaviour of the interface is borne out by
