This volume presents new methodologies for the design of dimension stone based on the concepts of structural design while preserving the excellence of stonemasonry practice in façade engineering. Straightforward formulae are provided for computing action on cladding, with special emphasis on the effect of seismic forces, including an extensive general methodology applied to non-structural elements. Based on the Load and Resistance Factor Design Format (LRDF), minimum slab thickness formulae are presented that take into consideration stress concentrations analysis based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the most commonly used modern anchorage systems. Calculation examples allow designers to solve several anchorage engineering problems in a detailed and objective manner, underlining the key parameters. The design of the anchorage metal parts, either in stainless steel or aluminum, is also presented.

This ninth edition of Fulton’s Concrete Technology provides up-to-date information on materials
and other aspects of concrete relevant to South African conditions. Whether it finds its way
onto the desks of practitioners, is used as a source document for lecturers, or is referred to as a
prescribed work by students, the aim is to make a publication available which consolidates the
experience and insights of experts in a single volume.
Some chapters have been revised extensively to reflect new developments and the latest research,
and to ensure that the technology presented in this book remains at the highest standard. New
authors have come on board and, taking cognisance of the expressed needs of readers of previous
editions, five new chapters have been added: repair, reinforcement, formwork, sand-cement
mixes and self-compacting concrete.
As in the previous edition, the contents are divided into five broad categories:
• Materials for concrete
• Properties of fresh concrete
• Properties of hardened concrete
• Production of concrete
• Special techniques and applications
The Cement and Concrete Institute is a marketing organisation that aims to grow concrete’s
market share for its members. It achieves its goals by providing education and training, technical
advice and information. Fulton’s Concrete Technology supports these objectives and strives to
ensure that the processes of concrete and concreting are better understood and applied.

The finite element method is commonly used to design the reinforcement in concrete slabs, in order to simplify the analysis and to be able to use the superposition principle for evaluating the effect of load combinations, linear analysis is generally adopted even though concrete slabs normally have a pronounced non-linear response.
The present recommendations apply to concrete slab and shell structures subjected primarily to bending effects with limited membrane effects, i.e. slab and shell structures subjected to loading in a direction normal to the plane of the structure.

ADOBE AND RAMMED EARTH BUILDING (Design and Construction)
Author(s): Paul Graham McHenry
Published By:University of Arizona Press
Published Year:01 Oct 1989
Quality:Unspecified
Abstract: Earth is the oldest and most widely used building material in the world today. It's abundant, inexpensive, and energy-efficient. But if you're building with earth, simplicity of material needn't be an excuse for poor planning. Paul Graham McHenry, author of the best-selling Adobe - Build It Yourself , here provides the most complete, accurate, and factual source of technical information on building with earth. Lavishly illustrated with scores of photographs and drawings, Adobe and Rammed Earth Buildings spells out details of: - soil selection - adobe brick manufacturing - adobe brick wall construction - rammed earth wall construction - window and door detailing - earth wall finishes - foundations - floor and roof structures - insulation - mechanical considerations. Whether you're designing a new building or renovating an existing structure, Adobe and Rammed Earth Buildings can show you how to achieve better results.

A method is disclosed for driving a pile into the ocean floor utilizing an underwater hammer. A leg of an offshore jacket structure is provided with several annular guide sleeves affixed to the leg at several spaced apart locations along the exterior of the leg. A pile is disposed underwater in the lower guide sleeves proximate the lower end of the structure leg. A housing assembly ' having a hammer mounted inside is lowered from the surface through the guide sleeves and into contact with the top of the pile, with the hammer being beneath the surface. The pile is driven by a succession of blows delivered by the hammer. The housing is then raised to the surface and moved to another driving location by an overhead sling.
