This book covers the analysis and design of reinforced concrete elements in foundations and superstructures in a logical,
step-by-step fashion. Thje theory of reinforced concrete and the derivation of the code formulae have been clearly explained.
The text is backed up by numerous illustrations, design charts and tables reffering frequently to the relevant codes of practice.
A large number of worked examples cover almost all types of reinforced concrete elements.

Structure As Architecture provides readers with an accessible insight into the relationship between structure and architecture, focusing on the design principles that relate to both fields. Over one hundred case studies of contemporary buildings from countries across the globe including the UK, the US, France, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong and Australia are interspersed throughout the book. The author has visited and photographed each of these examples and analyzed them to show how structure plays a significant architectural role, as well as bearing loads. This is a highly illustrated sourcebook, providing a new insight into the role of structure, and discussing the point where the technical and the aesthetic meet to create the discipline of architecture.
* Presents a comprehensive analysis of how building structure contributes to architecture
* Connects architectural design ideas and structure in the context of contemporary architecture, materials and structure
* Highly illustrated, providing a sourcebook of architectural and engineering design ideas

A space frame is a three-dimensional framework for enclosing spaces in which all members are interconnected and act as a single entity. A benefit of this type of structure is that very large spaces can be covered, uninterrupted by support from the ground.
John Chilton's book provides an up-to-date assessment of the use of space grid structures in buildings by reviewing methods of construction, various systems available and detailed studies of the use of space grids in modern buildings. The technical level is aimed at professional and student architects and engineers worldwide and it also serves as a useful construction manual.
John Chilton is an engineer, currently teaching architectural students at Nottingham University where he is a senior lecturer. He has also undertaken considerable research in this field.
*Provides a full assessment of the use of space frame structures in buildings
*International examples throughout showing how architects use this technology in their designs
*Numerous illustrations support the text and make the technical detail easy to digest

Mechanized Tunnelling in Urban Areas
By Vittorio Guglielmetti, Ashraf Mahtab, Shulin Xu, Piergiorgio Grasso
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 528
* Publication Date: 2007-11-22
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415420105
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415420105
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
Internationally, the mechanized excavation of tunnels has intensified in the last two decades, as the number of tunnels being constructed for subways and railway underpasses increases. The subject of mechanized tunnelling in urban areas has not previously received the attention that it deserves, despite there being specific hazards associated with the construction of tunnels in metropolitan areas, including poor ground conditions, water tables higher than the level of tunnels, and subsidence leading to damage to the existing structures on the surface. The application of technologies for achieving the stability of the tunnel and for minimizing surface settlement is described in this book. Accurate characterization of the ground; rigorous assessment and management of risk from design to maintenance; the correct choice of a tunnel boring machine and a plan for the advancement of the tunnel; specific excavation procedures and real-time monitoring of excavation parameters are all discussed in this thorough work

Gives clear explanations of the logical design sequence for structural elements. The Structural Engineer says: The book explains, in simple terms, and with many examples, Code of Practice methods for sizing structural sections in timber, concrete,
masonry and steel. It is the combination into one book of section sizing methods in each of these materials that makes this text so useful....Students will find this an essential support text to the Codes of Practice in their study of element sizing'.

Steel and Composite Structures: Behaviour and Design for Fire Safety
By Y.C. Wang
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 264
* Publication Date: 2002-07-05
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415244366
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415244367
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
Steel and Composite Structures: Behaviour and Design for Fire Safety presents a systematic and thorough description of the behaviour of steel and composite structures in fire, and shows how design methods are developed to quantify our understanding.
Quantitative descriptions of fire behaviour, heat transfer in construction elements and structural analysis using numerical methods are all addressed, and existing codes and standards for steel and composite fire safety design are critically examined. Using a comprehensive and systematic description of structural fire safety engineering principles, the author explores and illustrates the important difference between the behaviour of isolated structural elements and whole structures under fire conditions.
This book is a vital source of information to structural and fire engineers. It will also be of considerable interest to students and researchers in the field.
