Hello to all,
Years of procrastination has finally got me and I have to start with studying unsaturated soil mechanics. There are lots of books and papers regarding this topic, but I would like to see the experience of others with these works.
So the main question of this thread would be, what book to use when you're starting with unsaturated soil mechanics? Is the books and papers written by Fredlund that good and sufficient enough?
With kind regards

The current design procedure for steel frame structures is a two-step process including an elastic analysis to determine design actions and
a separate member capacity check. This design procedure is unable to trace the full range of load-deflection response and hence the failure modes of the frame structures can not be accurately predicted. In recent years, the development of advanced analysis methods has aimed at solving this
problem by combining the analysis and design tasks into one step. Application of the new advanced analysis methods permits a comprehensi
ve assessment of the actual failure modes and ultimate strengths of structural
steel systems in practical design situations. One of the advanced analysis methods, the refined plastic hinge method,has shown great potential to become a practical design tool. However, at present, it is only suitable for a special class of steel frame structures that is not subject to lateral
torsional buckling effects. The refined plastic hinge analysis can directly account for three types of frame failures, gradual formation of plastic hinges, column buckling and local buckling. However, this precludes most of the steel frame structures whose behaviour is governed by lateral torsional buckling. Therefore, the aim of this research is to develop a practical advanced analysis method suitable for general steel frame structures including the effects of lateral-torsional buckling.Lateral torsional buckling is a complex three dimensional instability phenomenon.Unlike the in-plane buckling of beam-columns, a closed form analytical solution is
not available for lateral torsional buckling. The member capacity equations used in design specifications are derived mainly from testing of simply supported beams. Further, there has been very limited research into the behaviour and design of steel frame structures subject to lateral torsional buckling failures. Therefore in order to incorporate lateral torsional buckling effects into an advanced analysis method, a detailed study must be carried out including inelastic beam buckling failures.

NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF MULTISTORY STRUCTURES USING NONLIN
Author: Gordon Chan | Size: 1.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: February 24, 2005 Blacksburg, Virginia | pages: 143
This thesis presents the results of a study of the effect of variations of systemic parameters on the structural response of multistory structures subjected to Incremental Dynamic Analysis. A five-story building was used in this study. Three models were used to represent buildings located in Berkeley, CA, New York, NY, and Charleston, SC. The systemic parameters studied are post- yield stiffness, degrading stiffness and degrading strength. A set of single-record IDA curves was obtained for each systemic parameter. Two ground motions were used in this study to generate the single-record IDA curves. These ground motions were scaled to the design spectral acceleration prior to the applications. The effect of vertical acceleration was examined in this analysis. “NONLIN”, a program capable of performing nonlinear dynamic analysis, was updated to perform most of the analysis in this study. The damage measure used in this study was the maximum interstory drift. Some trends were observed for the post-yield stiffness and the degrading strength. However, no trend was observed for the degrading stiffness.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become an integral part of the construction industry because of their versatility, enhanced durability and resistance to fatigue and corrosion, high strength-to-weight ratio, accelerated construction, and lower maintenance and life-cycle costs. Advanced FRP composite materials are also emerging for a wide range of civil infrastructure applications. These include everything from bridge decks, bridge strengthening and repairs, and seismic retrofit to marine waterfront structures and sustainable, energy-efficient housing. The International Handbook of FRP Composites in Civil Engineering brings together a wealth of information on advances in materials, techniques, practices, nondestructive testing, and structural health monitoring of FRP composites, specifically for civil infrastructure.
With a focus on professional applications, the handbook supplies design guidelines and standards of practice from around the world. It also includes helpful design formulas, tables, and charts to provide immediate answers to common questions. Organized into seven parts, the handbook covers:
-FRP fundamentals, including history, codes and standards, manufacturing, materials, mechanics, and life-cycle costs
-Bridge deck applications and the critical topic of connection design for FRP structural members
-External reinforcement for rehabilitation, including the strengthening of reinforced concrete, masonry, wood, and metallic structures
-FRP composites for the reinforcement of concrete structures, including material characteristics, design procedures, and quality assurance–quality control (QA/QC) issues
-Hybrid FRP composite systems, with an emphasis on design, construction, QA/QC, and repair
-Quality control, quality assurance, and evaluation using nondestructive testing, and in-service monitoring using structural health monitoring of FRP composites, including smart composites that can actively sense and respond to the environment and internal states
-FRP-related books, journals, conference proceedings, organizations, and research sources

FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities 2010
Author: The Facility Guidelines Institute | Size: 7.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: The Facility Guidelines Institute | Year: 2010 | pages: 450 | ISBN: 9780872588592
On picking up the 2010 edition, users of previous editions of the Guidelines will notice a new organization to the content. This edition has been reorganized to reflect the numbering system of other national codes and stan- dards that design professionals and owners use every day. In addition, for clarity, full paragraph references are used in the text, including the chapter number followed by a hyphen and a sequenced number for each paragraph.
What will also be very noticeable is the new Part 6. For the 2010 edition, the Facility Guidelines Institute has partnered with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., by adopting ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170: Ventila- tion of Health Care Facilities as the principal standard for ventilation systems in health care facilities. The 2010 edition of the Guidelines incorporates as Part 6 the 2008 edition of Standard 170, plus all addenda, present and future, issued by ASHRAE. Users can find an explanation of the relationship between ventilation information in the Guidelines text and in Standard 170, as well as information for accessing the Standard 170 addenda, at the beginning of Part 6.
The content of this edition is arranged in six Parts, grouping similar facility types together:
• Part 1 (General) provides information applicable to all health care projects and facility types.
• Part 2 (Hospitals) contains all of the chapters on hospitals.
• Part 3 (Ambulatory Care Facilities) contains chapters on a wide variety of outpatient facility types.
• Part 4 (Residential Health Care Facilities) includes chapters on residential care facilities—nursing, hospice, and assisted living.
• Part 5 (Other Health Care Facilities) contains chapters on other health care facility types that do not fall into the categories of Parts 2, 3, or 4. In this edition they are mobile, transportable, and relocatable units; freestanding birth centers; and adult day health care facilities.
• Part 6 (Ventilation of Health Care Facilities) contains ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170, as discussed above.

Lecture Notes: Nonlinear Earthquake Response Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Author: Professor Shunsuke Otani | Size: 20 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: University of Tokyo | Year: 2002 | pages: 432
Preface
This note is intended to introduce the state of the art in the nonlinear response analysis of reinforced concrete building structures under earthquake excitation to graduate students. The state of the knowledge on the behavior of reinforced concrete members and structures and the art of nonlinear response analysis are far form an established state. Therefore, this note will not provide any unique solution to a problem. The note was initially prepared for a special lecture on “nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete buildings” at Department of Civil Engineering, University of Canterbury, New Zealand, from February to April, 1994. The note has been revised for use in Department of Architecture, University of Tokyo since 1996; this course was given in English. The note was extensively revised for a series of lectures on “nonlinear earthquake response analysis of reinforced concrete buildings” at European School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk, Universita degli Studi di Pavia, Italy, from February to March, 2002.
