The in situ rehabilitation or upgrading of reinforced concrete members using bonded steel plates is an effective, convenient and economic method of improving structural performance. However, disadvantages inherent in the use of steel have stimulated research into the possibility of using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in its place, providing a non-corrosive, more versatile strengthening system.
This book presents a detailed study of the flexural strengthening of reinforced and prestressed concrete members using fibre reinforces polymer composite plates. It is based to a large extent on material developed or provided by the consortium which studied the technology of plate bonding to upgrade structural units using carbon fibre / polymer composite materials. The research and trial tests were undertaken as part of the ROBUST project, one of several ventures in the UK Government's DTI-LINK Structural Composites Programme.
The book has been designed for practicing structural and civil engineers seeking to understand the principles and design technology of plate bonding, and for final year undergraduate and postgraduate engineers studying the principles of highway and bridge engineering and structural engineering.

Currently i am working on a 3 level basement wall (cut and cover method). I am trying to use the last level wall as a deep beam to take vertical load and to span across foundation piles and serving as retaining wall spanning between floors. I would like to know anyone has done something similar. Any relevant reference to this? I am quite confident it can be done this way as this application is shown in CIRIA guide on deep beam but not guidance given.
This book is intended for marine structural engineers and naval architects, as well as mechanical engineers and civil engineers who work on structural design. As reliability-based limit-state design becomes popular in structural engineering, this book may also be a reference for structural engineers in other disciplines, such as buildings, bridges and spacecraft. The design procedures in the book make extensive use of finite-element analysis and dynamic/fatigue analysis, and applied risk and reliability methods.

I do not work on prestige project so i have none of those to share with u all. Normally i worked on typical housing/residential project in my country here, Malaysia. Since there are so many structural engineer here, i wish to have a overview on how your typical low rise residential structural scheme in your home country.
Let me start with mine, we have mostly 2 storey buildings in reinforced concrete frames and 2 way slab. Beam span ard 6m. Slab ard 150mm thk with wire mesh. Foundation mostly footing with bearing capacity 100kPa or on small piles 150mm.
Hope some of you all have the time to describe yours.

Book Description:
Higher-Order Finite Element Methods provides an exhaustive survey of intrinsic techniques and practical implementation of higher-order finite element schemes. It addresses automatic hp-adaptivity in one and two spatial dimensions and includes up-to-date references to ongoing research related to automatic hp-adaptivity in 3D. The authors' discussion of suitable data structures and efficient linear solvers provides an excellent introduction to key, often neglected aspects of this class of methods. Avoiding heavy mathematical jargon where possible, the book is clear, comprehensive, and designed for both applied mathematicians and engineers who are interested in finite elements.

Reinforced Concrete (A Fundamental Approach) Edward G.Nawy
• The new 2005 ACI 318-05 Code on Concrete Structures and the new International Building Code (IBC-2003) on Seismic Design of Structures, which introduced many changes to the current practice, are covered throughout the book.
• Updates on state-of-the-art developments include introducing students to the increased use of multi-story structures designed and built using reinforced and prestressed concrete masonry systems, not only reinforced concrete systems.
• Chapter 9, on the design of compressions members, saw a complete revamp to reflect the ACI 318-05 approach in the design of columns and to accommodate the new strength reduction factors. This includes a complete revision of the extensive design examples that cover both non-slender and slender compression members.
• Chapter 16, on seismic design of buildings, was significantly revised to comply with the major changes in both the ACI 318 Code and the IBC 2003 Code. Updates include replacing several tables with the newly adopted ones for seismic design of buildings in high seismicity zones.
• Concrete materials and the design of concrete mixtures for normal strength and high strength concretes receive comprehensive treatment in Chapters 3 and 4. Plus, a new section on provisions for environmental structures and durability has been added.
• Chapter 15, on the LRFD design of bridge deck structures, has been updated in accordance with the recent AASHTO 2004 and its 2003 supplements, reflecting the changes in the torsional and shear strain equations.
• An expanded section features examples on the strut-and-tie modeling for the design of deep reinforced concrete beams and corbels in accordance with the ACI 318-05 Appendix provisions for this method.
