Steel and composite steel–concrete structures are widely used in modern bridges, buildings, sport stadia, towers, and offshore structures. Analysis and Design of Steel and Composite Structures offers a comprehensive introduction to the analysis and design of both steel and composite structures. It describes the fundamental behaviour of steel and composite members and structures, as well as the current design criteria and procedures given in Australian standards AS/NZS 1170, AS 4100, AS 2327.1, Eurocode 4, and AISC-LRFD specifications.
Featuring numerous step-by-step examples that clearly illustrate the detailed analysis and design of steel and composite members and connections, this practical and easy-to-understand text:
• Covers plates, members, connections, beams, frames, slabs, columns, and beam-columns
• Considers bending, axial load, compression, tension, and design for strength and serviceability
• Incorporates the author’s latest research on composite members
Analysis and Design of Steel and Composite Structures is an essential course textbook on steel and composite structures for undergraduate and graduate students of structural and civil engineering, and an indispensable resource for practising structural and civil engineers and academic researchers. It provides a sound understanding of the behaviour of structural members and systems.

Seismic Design of Concrete Buildings to Eurocode 8
Author: Michael N. Fardis, Eduardo C. Carvalho, Peter Fajfar, Alain Pecker | Size: 9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2015 | pages: 419 | ISBN: 9781466559745, 9781482282535, 1482282534
An Original Source of Expressions and Tools for the Design of Concrete Elements with Eurocode
Seismic design of concrete buildings needs to be performed to a strong and recognized standard. Eurocode 8 was introduced recently in the 30 countries belonging to CEN, as part of the suite of Structural Eurocodes, and it represents the first European Standard for seismic design. It is also having an impact on seismic design standards in countries outside Europe and will be applied there for the design of important facilities.
This book:
Contains the fundamentals of earthquakes and their effects at the ground level, as these are affected by local soil conditions, with particular reference to EC8 rules
Provides guidance for the conceptual design of concrete buildings and their foundations for earthquake resistance
Overviews and exemplifies linear and nonlinear seismic analysis of concrete buildings for design to EC8 and their modelling
Presents the application of the design verifications, member dimensioning and detailing rules of EC8 for concrete buildings, including their foundations
Serves as a commentary of the parts of EC8 relevant to concrete buildings and their foundations, supplementing them and explaining their proper application
Seismic Design of Concrete Buildings to Eurocode 8 suits graduate or advanced undergraduate students, instructors running courses on seismic design and practicing engineers interested in the sound application of EC8 to concrete buildings. Alongside simpler examples for analysis and detailed design, it includes a comprehensive case study of the conceptual design, analysis and detailed design of a realistic building with six stories above grade and two basements, with a complete structural system of walls and frames. Homework problems are given at the end of some of the chapters.

How Does Soil Behave and Why Does It Behave That Way?
Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition effectively explores the nature of soil, explains the principles of soil mechanics, and examines soil as an engineering material. This latest edition includes all the fundamental concepts of soil mechanics, as well as an introduction to foundation engineering, including coverage of site exploration, shallow and deep foundation design, and slope stability. It presents the material in a systematic, step-by-step manner, and contains numerous problems, examples, and solutions.
New to the Second Edition:
The revised text expands the contents to include an introductory foundation engineering section to make the book cover the full range of geotechnical engineering. The book includes three new chapters: Site Exploration, Deep Foundations, and Slope Stability.
This text:
Provides an introductory chapter on soil mechanics
Explores the origin and description of soils and discusses soil shapes and gradations
Presents the unique characteristics of clays
Details soil classifications by the Unified Soil Classification System (also ASTM) and by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
Highlights laboratory and field compaction techniques, including field specification and density testing,, and the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) method
Discusses the flow of water through soils, defining hydraulic heads, as well as the two-dimensional flow net technique and a systematic approach to compute boundary water pressures
Examines the concept of effective stress and its applications to various soil mechanics problems
Explores stress increments in a soil mass due to various types of footing load on the ground
Presents Terzaghi’s one-dimensional consolidation theory and its applications
Covers Mohr’s circle from geotechnical perspectives with use of the pole, which is utilized in chapters relating to shear strength and lateral earth pressure
Addresses the shear strength of soils, failure criteria, and laboratory as well as field shear strength determination techniques
Evaluates at-rest earth pressure and the classic Rankine and Coulomb active and passive pressure theories and present critical review of those methods
Reviews introductory foundation engineering and site exploration
Describes the bearing capacity theory and, as an application, the shallow foundation design procedure
Covers deep and shallow foundation design procedures
Explains slope stability problems and remediation procedures, and more
Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition is a concise and thorough text that explains soil’s fundamental behavior and its applications to foundation designs and slope stability problems and incorporates basic engineering science knowledge with engineering practices and practical applications.

While many introductory texts on soil mechanics are available, most are either lacking in their explanations of soil behavior or provide far too much information without cogent organization. More significantly, few of those texts go beyond memorization of equations and numbers to provide a practical understanding of why and how soil mechanics work.
Based on the authors’ more than 25 years of teaching soil mechanics to engineering students, Soil Mechanics Fundamentals presents a comprehensive introduction to soil mechanics, with emphasis on the engineering significance of what soil is, how it behaves, and why it behaves that way. Concise, yet thorough, the text is organized incrementally, with earlier sections serving as the foundation for more advanced topics. Explaining the varied behavior of soils through mathematics, physics and chemistry, the text covers:
• Engineering behavior of clays
• Unified and AASHTO soil classification systems
• Compaction techniques, water flow and effective stress
• Stress increments in soil mass and settlement problems
• Mohr’s Circle application to soil mechanics and shear strength
• Lateral earth pressure and bearing capacity theories
Each chapter is accompanied by example and practicing problems that encourage readers to apply learned concepts to applications with a full understanding of soil behavior fundamentals. With this text, engineering professionals as well as students can confidently determine logical and innovative solutions to challenging situations.

Torrenting is becoming more and more important since file sizes are ever increasing
I want to explore this issue in order to understand the benefits and risks involved.
1- How to make a torrent inside a virtual machine and share it , safely
2- Which software is more reliable Vuze, bittorrent, utorrent or?
Can anybody describe these step by step?
Most important part of this is the safety?
My computer IT, don't like the idea even it is on a separate PC , by itself on the network?
I think somebody with an insight knowledge can guide us

'Engineering geology is one of those terms that invite definition. The American Geological Institute, for example, has expanded the term to mean 'the application of the geological sciences to engineering practice for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors affecting the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and adequately provided for
