This manual, Pipelines for Water Conveyance and Drainage, includes a discussion of twenty topics for various pipe materials. The topics discussed include industry standards, available pipe sizes, standard lengths, allowable internal pressures, external load capabilities, protective linings, protective coatings, joints, fi ttings, hydraulic resistance factor, allowable leakage rates, repair methods, installation requirements, backfi ll requirements, special considerations, industry groups, and reference materials.
The need for a concise listing and description of the most commonly used types of pipe for water conveyance and drainage purposes was recognized by ASCE members in the late 1990s. Several new pipe materials were being introduced and new standards for these materials were being developed. Many of the new materials offered several advantages compared to the materials currently available, including reduced cost, longer life, improved fl ow characteristics, and ease of installation. In addition, manufacturers of existing pipe materials often modified and improved their products to make them more competitive.
The pipe materials discussed herein include concrete pipe, steel pipe, ductile iron pipe, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, molecularly oriented PVC pipe, high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, polyethylene profile wall pipe, PVC and polypropylene profile wall pipe, corrugated polyethylene pipe, vitrifi ed clay pipe, clay drain tile, fi berglass pipe, and corrugated metal pipe. The intent of the manual is to provide design engineers, utility managers, educators, and planners a concise listing and description of the most commonly used types of pipe for water conveyance and drainage purposes.

ISO 23469:2005 provides guidelines for specifying seismic actions for designing geotechnical works, including buried structures (e.g. buried tunnels, box culverts, pipelines, and underground storage facilities), foundations (e.g. shallow and deep foundations, and underground diaphragm walls), retaining walls (e.g. soil retaining and quay walls), pile-supported wharves and piers, earth structures (e.g. earth and rockfill dams and embankments), gravity dams, landfill and waste sites.
The guidelines provided in ISO 23469:2005 are general enough to be applicable for both new and existing geotechnical works. However, for use in practice, procedures more specific to existing geotechnical works can be needed, such as those described for existing structures in ISO 13822.

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline born of the needs of the Industrial Revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face the profound issues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions, among others. The Mechanical Engineering Series is a new series, featuring graduate texts and research monographs, intended to address the need for information in contemporary areas of mechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that will cover a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and research. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of consulting editors, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the consult ing editors are listed on page vi. The areas of concentration are applied mechanics, biomechanics, computational mechanics, dynamic systems and control, energetics, mechanics of materials, processing, thermal science, and tribology. We are pleased to present Nonlinear Analysis of Thin-Walled Structures by James F. Doyle. Austin, Texas Frederick F. Ling Preface This book is concerned with the challenging subject of the nonlinear static, dynamic, and stability analyses of thin-walled structures. It carries on from where Static and Dynamic Analysis of Structures, published by Kluwer 1991, left off; that book concentrated on frames and linear analysis, while the present book is focused on plated structures, nonlinear analysis, and a greater emphasis on stability analysis.

This book is concerned with the static and dynamic analysis of structures. Specifi- cally, it uses the stiffness formulated matrix methods for use on computers to tackle some of the fundamental problems facing engineers in structural mechanics. This is done by covering the Mechanics of Structures, its rephrasing in terms of the Matrix Methods, and then their Computational implementation, all within a cohesivesetting. Although this book is designed primarily as a text for use at the upper-undergraduate and beginning graduate level, many practicing structural engineers will find it useful as a reference and self-study guide. Several dozen books on structural mechanics and as many on matrix methods are currently available. A natural question to ask is why another text? An odd devel- opment has occurred in engineering in recent years that can serve as a backdrop to why this book was written. With the widespread availability and use of comput- ers, today's engineers have on their desk tops an analysis capability undreamt of by previous generations. However, the ever increasing quality and range of capabilities of commercially available software packages has divided the engineering profession into two groups: a small group of specialist program writers that know the ins and outs of the coding, algorithms, and solution strategies; and a much larger group of practicing engineers who use the programs. It is possible for this latter group to use this enormous power without really knowing anything of its source.

For the sake of discussion I would like to start a thread talking about the advantages of Midas Gen over Etabs or Etabs over Midas Gen.
The very reason that arises my curiosity is that why a consulting firm like Thornton Tomasetti would use Midas Gen in designing the kingdom tower if they have been using CSI product for more than 30 years. My speculations are the following.
a. Midas Gen has a very strong and thight integration with Midas GTS which is very powerful program for raft piled foundation.
b. Midas Gen has very reliable feature in column shortening analysis which would yield accurate prediction of elastic and long term shortening upon actual monitoring and test by Midas.
I have more to add but would like to hear other users view. When I say users those users that actually use both programs in actual production environment in other words real projects.

Describes the sand foundry, the characteristics of molding sand, the types of mold and pattern making equipment, and the various sand casting procedures for forming metals.
This book provides a great overview of producing green sand castings. It is interesting both from a historical perspective and a hobbyist perspective. Industrial foundrymen may find a few tricks that are useful.

An English version of the “Technical Standards and Commnetaries for Port and Harbour Facilities in Japan” covering the principal parts of the Japanese Standards which came into effect in the year 2007 under the Port and Harbour Act was translated and published by the Overseas Coastal Area Development Institute of Japan (OCDI) in October 2009.
Main Contents:
•Principle of Performance-based Design Method
•Meteorology and Oceanography ( Winds, Tides, Waves, Tsunamis, etc.)
•Natural Conditions ( Soils, Earthquakes, Dynamic Analysis, Ground Liquefaction, Environment, etc.)
•Materials ( Steel, Concrete, Stone, Recycle Materials, etc.)
•Foundations ( Shallow, Deep, Pile, Soil Improvement, etc.)
•Waterways and Basins（Dimension of channel, etc.）
•Protective Facilities for Harbors ( Gravity-type, Pile-Type, Wave-absorbing Caisson Type, etc. )
•Mooring Facilities ( Gravity-type, Sheet Pile, Piled Pier, Cellular -bulkhead, etc.)
•Port Transportation Facilities ( Road, Tunnel, Bridge, etc.)
•Cargo Sorting Facilities ( Cargo Handling Equipment, etc.)
•Storage Facilities ( Warehouses, Open Storage Yards, etc.)
•Other Facilities ( Waste Disposal Site, Beach, etc.)
A distinguishing feature of this Technical Standards is the adoption of the performance-based design method conforming to WTO required ISO 2394, ISO 23469 and ISO 21650 as opposed to the previously applied specification-based design method.
The Technical Standards contains state-of-the-art technology indicated above among others is believed to be an indispensable publication for engineers in charge of design, construction and maintenance of port and Harbour facilities as well as persons engaging in port management and operation.
