Engineering structures considered include bars, columns, struts, tubes, vessels, beams, springs and frames. The loadings imposed upon them are, typically, tension, compression and shear, bending, torsion and pressure, separately and in combination. The mechanics of such structures examine the manner in which they each bear their respective loading in a safe predictable way. This aids design considerations upon choice of material and its physical shape when seeking, say, a safe design with low weight.
The presentation of chapters is intended to guide the reader from a basic to more advanced understanding of common engineering structures. Thus, the consideration of stress and strain under elastic and plastic conditions is required for a full understanding of a structure that may bend, twist and buckle as it is deflected by its loading. The approach adopted is to intersperse theory with examples and exercises that emphasise practical application. Standard analytical techniques including stress transformation, energy methods and yield criteria precede a final chapter on finite element analysis.
Worked examples and exercises have been devised and compiled by the author to support the topics within each chapter. Some have been derived, with a conversion to SI units, from past examination papers set by institutions with which the author has been associated, namely: Brunel, Kingston and Surrey Universities and the Council of Engineering Institutions.
The contents should serve most courses in mechanical, civil, aeronautical and materials engineering.
Readership: Undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students from intermediary to advanced levels.

The Aubin Academy: Revit Architecture combines a straightforward, reader-friendly style with detailed project-focused exercises that encourage you to learn by doing. Readers will gain practical, firsthand experience with the powerful and popular Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software; purpose-built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), which industry leading architects and building design professionals are using to move beyond traditional Computer Aided Design (CAD) and drafting to manage complex projects, foster collaboration and boost productivity. With tools for early schematic design and planning, detailed design development studies and tools to create complete sets of deliverables including traditional construction document sets and modern digital output, Revit offers the modern architect everything they need to be successful in today’s competitive market.
Within these pages you will find a concise manual focused squarely on the rationale and practicality of creating architectural projects within the BIM paradigm. The emphasis is on proven best-practice procedures rather than a series of independent commands and tools. The goal of each lesson is to help readers complete building design projects successfully. You will find equal emphasis on “why” individual tools and features are used, not just “how” to performs the picks and clicks.

ACE-Hellas, a member of the Quest Group of companies, was founded in 1979 and is one of the largest providers of IT integrated solutions and software applications for the construction and engineering industries.
SCADA Pro is a general software application for the analysis and the design of the constructions, combines linear and surface finite elements, incorporates all, current and non, Greek regulations (Ν.Ε.Α.Κ, Ν.Κ.Ω.Σ., Ε.Κ.Ω.Σ. 2000, Ε.Α.Κ. 2000, Ε.Α.Κ. 2003, old Antiseismic, allow stresses method) and the corresponding Eurocodes. However, the main feature is the continuous development.
ScadaPro is a program that is constantly upgraded, evolves and adapts. ACE-Hellas technical department, in permanent cooperation with the Technical University of Athens, ensures the continuous development and updating. A "living organism" that matures!

Design Considerations for Shear Bolts in Punching Shear Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Author: Maria Anna Polak and Wensheng Bu | Size: 0.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: ACI Structural Journal | Year: 2013
Abstract:
This study addresses design aspects for the punching shear bolt retrofitting system for reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on columns. Shear bolts are an external type of reinforcement installed in existing slabs by first drilling small holes through the slab thickness, installing the bolts into them, and tightening the bolt nuts. Previous experimental research at the University of Waterloo showed the effectiveness of this system in increasing strength and ductility of existing slabs, with little changes in the slab’s appearance. The procedures for the design of the shear bolts and their installation in slabs are proposed in the paper. Recommendations are provided regarding the stem diameter, the head area and thickness, and the spacing and the layout of the bolts in a plane of a slab.
