info:
This program provides unequaled flexibility for the design of different types of shear, moment, bracing and splice connections. It is based upon the provisions of the ANSI/AISC 360-05 for Steel Design Specifications and considers mainly W and HSS shapes.
You can call the program after RAM Structural System or RAM Advanse and use automatically the results of the analysis and design of members.
The connection design can also be customized to adhere to your typical office standards.
Design in RAM Connection
Connections can be designed by one of these three methods in RAM Connection (RC) and RAM Connection Standalone (RCSA) programs. The first method could be called a "trial and error" procedure. In this method the engineer defines a database of different connections (note that many connections are already supplied with the program itself), assigning one to the joint and the program will indicate if it is suitable for the joint. The engineer can then manually either assign another connection, or adjust the first connection he/she assigned. The second method would be to have the program search through a list of the database connections to find the first one in the list that works for the joint (geometry and forces). The third method is similar to the second but rather than search through a predefined list the program will assign a single smart connection to the joint. These three methods provide the engineer with complete control over the design of their individual connections.

William R. Spillers, Keith M. MacBain "Structural Optimization"
Springer | English | 2009-05-29 | ISBN: 0387958649 | 315 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Structural Optimization is intended to supplement the engineer’s box of analysis and design tools making optimization as commonplace as the finite element method in the engineering workplace. It begins with an introduction to structural optimization and the methods of nonlinear programming such as Lagrange multipliers, Kuhn-Tucker conditions, and calculus of variations. It then discusses solution methods for optimization problems such as the classic method of linear programming which leads to the method of sequential linear programming. It then proposes using sequential linear programming together with the incremental equations of structures as a general method for structural optimization. It is furthermore intended to give the engineer an overview of the field of structural optimization.

Thin-Walled Structures with Structural Imperfections
Every structural designer involved with thin-walled structures should read this book. Most engineers are familiar with the concept of buckling, and powerful finite element packages will easily compute the buckling loads of a structures. In most FEM programs, buckling is meant to be the bifurcation load of the perfect structure and most likely a mesh is available for the perfect, idealized structure. Quoting Zienkiewicz “…quite frequently this type of approach is used beyond its limits of applicability.” Godoy’s book will show you why imperfect structures can fail at one-half the bifurcation load and will teach you how to get a good approximation to the critical load of the imperfect structure. You will learn to recognize an imperfection sensitive structure, what is the effect of interacting imperfections, and so on. The book is most useful to designers with good background on finite elements and thin-walled shell theory. It is also a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in this field, both as a self contained dissertation on the most practical types of problems and as a rich introduction to the broader field of stability of thin-walled structures. The basics of perturbation techniques required for the analysis are presented in the appendix.

Engineers' Guide to Pressure Equipment by Clifford Matthews
Including engineering data from a wide range of sources, "An Engineer's Guide to Pressure Equipment" provides an essential introduction to the technical and adminstrative aspects of vessel manufacture and use, covering the basic principles of pressure equipment design, manufacture, quality assurance/inspection, and operation during its working life. The author competently guides the reader through the most commonly used current and recent pressure vessel codes and standards. Pressure equipment has been subjected to an iterative development process that now makes it one of the most complex technical areas of mechanical engineering. The technology of pressure equipment continues to expand rapidly and recent developments in The European Pressure Equipment Directive, UK Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, and technical codes and standards are resulting in exciting changes within the industry. Key features of the volume include: concise, essential information about pressure equipment; compact and easily accessible format; fully illustrated; and core technical and legislative data. "An Engineer's Guide to Pressure Equipment" fulfils a key role in presenting up-to-date information on pressure equipment in a practical and easy to use format. It should be a valuable source of reference for pressure equipment designers, manufacturers and end-users.

Soil Engineering Testing, Design, and Remediation: Fu Hua Chen
In the last forty years, at least fifty books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics, most of them textbooks. Only a few touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap between textbook learning and practical know-how.When engineers deal with major projects, such as the Teton Dam or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, they need high-tech solutions. More often than not, however, they deal with the foundations for warehouses, schools, medium-rise buildings, and residential structures, projects that need low-tech solutions. Ninety percent of the time consulting engineers don't require mathematical treatment or computer analysis, they require experience.Soil engineering problems cannot be resolved with textbook information alone. This book provides the practical meaning of the different aspects of soil mechanics, the use of unconfined compression test data, the meaning of consolidated tests, the practical value of lateral pressure, and more. In addition to the technical aspects of foundation investigation, in the real world the shadow of litigation looms over every consultant's head. The author covers legal issues in detail.After several years in foundation investigation most consultants realize that soil engineering is a combination of art and science. Soil Engineering: Testing, Design and Remediation demystifies this connection and supplies real-world examples of practical applications. This hands-on, ready reference will be essential tool for any consultant working in the field.

Handbook on Nondestructive Testing of Concrete Second Edition
By V.M. Malhotra, Nicholas J. Carino
Publisher: CRC
Number Of Pages: 384
Publication Date: 2003-12-29
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0849314852
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780849314858
Civil and structural engineering consultants engaged in quality control or investigations of hardened concrete need a comprehensive resource that explains the methods of determining strength and other performance characteristics. Handbook on Nondestructive Testing of Concrete, Second Edition answers this demand by providing a thorough analysis of nondestructive testing used to evaluate concrete structures. The Handbook examines the tools and techniques used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete and permeation properties that relate to potential durability, and it also describes the methods used to assess the condition of concrete integrity and steel reinforcement. The authors of each chapter are recognized specialists in the field who have served on technical committees for nondestructive testing. The chapters discuss the basic principles of the methods and offer practical guidance for their use. Extensive mathematical derivations are kept to a minimum; instead, the Handbook refers to numerous original papers for those interested in more detailed information. The Second Edition meets your need to generate reliable estimates of mechanical properties without damaging a structure’s integrity.
