Author(s)/Editor(s): The Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) & FPInnovations | Size: 2,78 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: The Queenʼs Printer of British Columbia | Year: 2012 | pages: 28
This guide has been developed to assist house designers and builders in understanding and complying with the new BC Building Code requirements applicable to Part 9 houses in high seismic regions in British Columbia.
This illustrated guide is only intended to provide readers with general information about aspects of Part 9 of the British Columbia Building Code (the “Code”). Readers are urged not to rely simply on this guide but to carefully review the Code and consult with appropriate and reputable professionals and construction specialists to assist in interpreting and applying the Code. It is the responsibility of all persons undertaking the design and construction of a home to fully comply with the requirements of the Code. The authors, contributors, funders and publishers assume no liability for the accuracy of the statements made or for any damage, loss, injury or expense that may be incurred or suffered as a result of the use of or reliance on the contents of this guide. The views expressed do not necessarily represent those of individual contributors or the Homeowner Protection Office, a branch of BC Housing.

"The guidelines for design and constructions of river training and control works for road bridges" were first published in 1985. These guidelines did not include floor protection works and maintenance of the protective works. Also need for verifying the recommendations of physical model studies on mathematical model has been felt. Further, new material like geo-synthetics now find use in the strengthening of earthen embankment, slope protection and launching apron. As such need for revising the existing guidelines was felt.
SCOPE:
Cover the layout and design of river training works and approach embankment protection works for ensuring safety of the bridges and their approaches.
Is limited only to some salient aspects of design and construction of the protection works mentioned above and does not extend to the much wider associiated problems of river behaviour, control and bridge hydraulics, etc.
The necessity or otherwise of the guidebunds, spurs and other protective works has to be decided upon carefully after observing the behaviour of the river at the site under consideration. Data about the protection works at other sites on upstream or downstream of the site under consideration can also be a good guide.
Given inadequate knowledge of and uncertainties around many aspects of bridge hydraulics and river behaviour characteristics in general, these guidelines cannot obviously claim to have any general validity of application.

I'm writing on behalf of my colleague. Please could you kindly take two minutes of your time and fill in a short questionnaire.
They are conducting a scientific research about the asphalt plants’ production reliability, as a part of a doctoral thesis. It is conducted simultaneously worldwide (on English, German and Croatian language) and population for this survey are asphalt plants companies, managers, supervisors and practitioners.
Your experience would be a great addition to their research, so I kindly ask you to participate by either:
- checking their website:

Facing the Sumida River in the eastern part of Tokyo, the Narihirabashi and Oshiage areas were once flourishing centers of Edo culture (17th to late 19th century). In February 2006 the Tobu Railway Co. proposed to local broadcasting companies and to Sumida Ward that a huge steel tower, called the Tokyo Sky Tree, be built there. The first thing particularly emphasized by the client at the start of the project was the “creation of a landscape beyond space-time there.” During subsequent stages of the design work, consistent efforts were made to realize this theme.

Based on the latest version of designing codes both for buildings and bridges (GB50010-2010 and JTG D62-2004), this book starts from steel and concrete materials, whose properties are very important to the mechanical behavior of concrete structural members. Step by step, analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete members under basic loading types (tension, compression, flexure, shearing and torsion) and environmental actions are introduced. The characteristic of the book that distinguishes it from other textbooks on concrete structures is that more emphasis has been laid on the basic theories of reinforced concrete and the application of the basic theories in design of new structures and analysis of existing structures. Examples and problems in each chapter are carefully designed to cover every important knowledge point. As a basic course for undergraduates majoring in civil engineering, this course is different from either the previously learned mechanics courses or the design courses to be learned. Compared with mechanics courses, the basic theories of reinforced concrete structures cannot be solely derived by theoretical analysis. And compared with design courses, this course emphasizes the introduction of basic theories rather than simply being a translation of design specifications. The book will focus on both the theoretical derivations and the engineering practices.

This book deals with in-situ tests that are performed in geotechnics to identify and characterize the soil. These measurements are then used to size the Civil Engineering works
This book is intended for engineers, students and geotechnical researchers. It provides useful information for use and optimal use of in-situ tests to achieve a better book adaptation of civil engineering on the ground
