In November of 2013 Microstran software products (Limcon, MStower, Microstran) are now part of Bentley Systems
MStower is special purpose software for the analysis and design of steel transmission and communication towers to a range of international standards. A comprehensive library of panel types and ancillary equipment allow quick creation of the structure.
Used by authorities for the checking of transmission line structures and communications towers and masts
Generate geometry from commonly used panels
Wind and ice loads on members, antennas, and ancillaries are computed automatically
Application of gust factors
Analysis results and member check results may be displayed graphically and reports printed
Output to CAD format directly from analysis
Non-linear analysis is used for masts and catenary cable element is used for guys
Loading may be computed in accordance with:

Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down (first edition)
Author: J. E. Gordon | Size: 14.58 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: A Pelican Book | Year: 1987 (First Edition) | pages: 424 | ISBN: ASIN: B00GOHLQV0
For anyone who has ever wondered why suspension bridges don't collapse under eight lanes of traffic, how dams hold back-or give way under-thousands of gallons of water, or what principles guide the design of a skyscraper or a kangaroo, this book will ease your anxiety and answer your questions. J. E. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose.

The fifth edition ofComplete Building Constructioncontains sub-stantially revised and expanded material to treat new developments.
Some earlier material has been retained with slight modifications.
Many of these changes are a result of environmental concerns, en-ergy conservation, and increasing building and operating costs.
The book’s objective is to provide in a single volume a com-pendium of the best of current building design and construction practices, as well as information that is most useful to those who must decide which building materials and what construction meth-ods to use. The emphasis is on the why of construction.

ISO 2531:2009 specifies the requirements and test methods applicable to ductile iron pipes, fittings, accessories and their joints for the construction of pipelines:
- to convey water (e.g. for human consumption and raw water),
- operated with or without pressure, and
- installed below or above ground.
It specifies materials, dimensions and tolerances, mechanical properties and standard coatings of pipes, fittings and accessories. It also gives performance requirements for all components including joints.
ISO 2531:2009 applies to pipes, fittings and accessories cast by any type of foundry process or manufactured by fabrication of cast components, as well as corresponding joints in the size range DN 40 to DN 2600 inclusive.
