In this edited volume on advances in forensic geotechnical engineering, a number of technical contributions by experts and professionals in this area are included. The work is the outcome of deliberations at various conferences in the area conducted by Prof. G.L. Sivakumar Babu and Dr. V.V.S. Rao as secretary and Chairman of Technical Committee on Forensic Geotechnical Engineering of International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (ISSMGE). This volume contains papers on topics such as guidelines, evidence/data collection, distress characterization, use of diagnostic tests (laboratory and field tests), back analysis, failure hypothesis formulation, role of instrumentation and sensor-based technologies, risk analysis, technical shortcomings. This volume will prove useful to researchers and practitioners alike.

The Langham Place development was born in 1988 when t h e then-Land Development Corporation (later replaced by the Urban Renewal Authority) launched four major urban renewal projects. The Mongkok project, dubbed K2, was the largest with a footprint covering several blocks and straddling Shanghai Street. Though best known for its Bird Street, the group of city blocks mainly housed aging low-rise residential buildings and a cooked food market.
Architects Wong & Ouyang (HK) Ltd were brought onto the project at its inception to work with the LDC in creating a feasible masterplan for tendering. Developer Great Eagle Holdings Ltd was subsequently selected in 1989 to become the jointventure developer (and later the managing partner) of the project and a lengthy process to acquire more than 500 property rights within the project’s boundary was set in motion — a task that eventually spanned years.

SOIL COMPACTION
Compaction is the application of mechanical energy to a soil to rearrange the particles and reduce the void ratio.
•The principal reason for compacting soil is to reduce subsequent settlement under working loads
• Compaction increases the shear strength of the soil.
• Compaction reduces the voids ratio making it more difficult for water to flow through soil. This is important if the soil is being used to retain water such as would be required for an earth dam.
• Compaction can prevent the build up of large water pressures that cause soil to liquefy during earthquakes.

Heatherwick's textured-tower University of Nanyang Technology
Size: 3 MB
Quality:Unspecified
Abstract:
After more than two years of construction, has this week announced the completion of the new building at the University of Nanyang Technology, designed by Thomas Heatherwick British. With an indoor area of 14,000 meters square the structure is enclosed by vertical tubular volumes, similar to a natural honeycomb hive. The new building is part of a wider plan of value close to 360 million euros, rehabilitation campus of that university in Singapore.

A little booklet on how to treat cracks in concrete structures .
a crack generally need not be repaired unless it meets one or more of these conditions:
1. Its width exceeds 1mm (1/32 in) and it is exposed to hard-wheeled traffic.
2. It spalls under traffic, regardless of width.
3. It shows differential movement under traffic.

This code covers welding fabrication requirements applicable to welded highway bridges. It is to be used in conjunction with the AASHTO Standard Specification for Highway Bridges or the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
This code covers the welding requirements for AASHTO welded highway bridges made from carbon and low-alloy constructional steels. This 2002 edition contains dimensions in metric SI Units and U.S. Customary Units. Sections 1 through 7 constitute a body of rules for the regulation of welding in steel construction. Section 9 of the previous edition has had its provisions distributed throughout the 2002 edition. Sections 8, 10, and 11 do not contain provisions, as their analogue D1.1 sections are not applicable to the D1.5 Code. Section 12 contains the requirements for fabricating fracture critical members.
