Book Description:
A clear and concise reference guide on integrating fire protection design, Fire Protection Engineering in Building Design encompasses not only the basic information on the functions, design, and applications of fire protection systems; but also reveals how this information can and should be integrated with every other major engineering discipline.
Protecting people, buildings and the environment from the impact of fire requires a comprehensive, systematic approach that includes the analysis of fire hazards as well as the design, installation and maintenance of fire detection, suppression and communications systems. Jane Lataille takes the reader beyond these basic issues and includes information on mitigating potential fire damage through proper design and construction of buildings, industrial processes and utility systems.
Through specific examples, the reader sees how fire protection engineering can be integrated with mechanical, electrical, structural, and chemical engineering. The book also includes a section on writing fire protection specifications as well as a comprehensive reference list.
* Assure effective fire protection design through engineering
* Avoid costly fire protection redesign
* Effectively integrate fire protection features into project specifications

Aluminum Structures: A Guide to Their Specifications and Design
Aluminum structures: a guide to their specifications and design
J. Randolph Kissell, Robert L. Ferry
Edition: 2,
John Wiley and Sons, 2002
ISBN 0471019658, 9780471019657
Technical guidance and inspiration for designing aluminum structures
Aluminum Structures, Second Edition demonstrates how strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum opens up a whole new world of design possibilities for engineering and architecture professionals. Keyed to the revised Specification for Aluminum Structures of the 2000 edition of the Aluminum Design Manual, it provides quick look-up tables for design calculations; examples of recently built aluminum structures-from buildings to bridges; and a comparison of aluminum to other structural materials, particularly steel. Topics covered include:
-Structural properties of aluminum alloys
-Aluminum structural design for beams, columns, and tension members
-Extruding and other fabrication techniques
-Welding and mechanical connections
-Aluminum structural systems, including space frames, composite members, and plate structures
-Inspection and testing
-Load and resistance factor design
-Recent developments in aluminum structures

However, deleting / removing files from our storage may only be done by management of our site.
Many times we upload the stuff to rapidshare, filefactory etc and files are removed after some time or after some trial. This leads to reuploading, time wasting.
Here is THE definitive reference in civil engineering. Within the pages of this classic you'll find fingertip access to everything from the fundamentals of civil engineering to the latest changes in design, construction, materials, and equipment in 23 different disciplines including Systems Design, Geotechnical Engineering, and Community and Regional Planning.

Hydraulics of dams & river structures
Author(s): Farhad Yazdandoost, Jalal Attari
Publisher: Farhad Yazdandoost, Jalal Attari

Info:
Hydraulic structures and river works are essential for the development of countries. This is more significant in the millennium development goals owing to scarcity of water for the ever-increasing population of the world. The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners to exchange views and experiences on hydraulics of structures associated with rivers and dams. It is further hoped and anticipated that this would lead to a state of the art of the current practice to improve design of hydraulicstructures especially in developing countries. Not overlooking the ever growing need for more enhanced and profound non-structural approaches in water resources management issues, it is deliberated that through such a conference the wealth of knowledge and experience in the field would be shared and the structural aspect of water resources management is given its deserved share in sustainable development of infra-structure. In this respect it is hoped that series of specialised conferences of this nature will continue to be held in future. Hydraulic researchers had been leading air-water flow studies until the mid-1950s. Since progresses have been dominated by multiphase flow experts despite the relevance of “white water” phenomena to hydraulic engineering. In this lecture the writer reviews the basic mechanisms of air entrainment: singular aeration and interfacial entrainment. The relevant instrumentation and data processing technique are detailed. Later recent progresses in unsteady flow measurements and in seawater are discussed.

Railroad Vehicle Dynamics: A Computational Approach

Railroad vehicle dynamics: a computational approach
Ahmed A. Shabana, Khaled E. Zaazaa, Hiroyuki Sugiyama
CRC Press, 2007
ISBN 1420045814, 9781420045819
The methods of computational mechanics have been used extensively in modeling many physical systems. The use of multibody-system techniques, in particular, has been applied successfully in the study of various, fundamentally different applications. Railroad Vehicle Dynamics: A Computational Approach presents a computational multibody-system approach that can be used to develop complex models of railroad vehicle systems. The book examines several computational multibody-system formulations and discusses their computer implementation. The computational algorithms based on these general formulations can be used to develop general- and special-purpose railroad vehicle computer programs for use in the analysis of railroad vehicle systems, including the study of derailment and accident scenarios, design issues, and performance evaluation. The authors focus on the development of fully nonlinear formulations, supported by an explanation of the limitations of the linearized formulations that are frequently used in the analysis of railroad vehicle systems. The chapters of the book are organized to guide readers from basic concepts and definitions through a final understanding of the utility of fully nonlinear multibody- system formulations in the analysis of railroad vehicle systems. Railroad Vehicle Dynamics: A Computational Approach is a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers who commonly use general-purpose, multibody-system computer programs in the analysis, design, and performance evaluation of railroad vehicle systems

Hello admin, i would like to suggest something that i have seen in other forums related to structural engineering and as here in forum we have very skilled profesionals we can open threads to discuss certain topics of engineers exchange points of view, experience stuff like that. i think it may be a great a idea. People like me undergraduate can appreciate this alot.
