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.

Hi Friends of Civilea,
I am looking for the following European guidelines:
ETAG 001 Part 1 – Anchors in general
ETAG 001 Parts 2, 3 and 4 – Torque-controlled expansion anchors, undercut anchors and deformation-controlled expansion anchors
ETAG 001 Part 5 – Bonded anchors (adhesive anchors)
ETAG 001 Part 6 – Anchors for the multiple use for nonstructural applications
ETAG 001 Annexes A, B and C
Technical reports of ETAG 001
An article describing these guidelines as well as others can be found in the link:

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.

Learning from Megadisasters : Lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake
Author: Ranghieri, Federica & Ishiwatari, Mikio | Size: 11.19 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: World Bank Training | Year: 2014 | pages: 391
The successes of Japan’s disaster risk management (DRM) system as well as the ways in which that system could be improved are reflected in the lessons drawn from the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and presented in the initial reports from the Learning from Megadisasters project. The GEJE was the first disaster ever recorded that included an earthquake, a tsunami, a nuclear power plant accident, a power supply failure, and a large-scale disruption of supply chains. Extreme disasters underscore the need for a holistic approach to DRM. Single-sector development planning cannot address the complexity of problems posed by natural hazards, let alone megadisasters, nor can such planning build resilience to threats. Faced with complex risks, Japan chose to build resilience by investing in preventative structural and nonstructural measures; nurturing a strong culture of knowledge and learning from past disasters; engaging in wise DRM regulation, legislation, and enforcement; and promoting cooperation among multiple stakeholders, between government agencies and ministries, between the private sector and the government, and among multiple levels of governance, from local to national to international. The book consolidates a set of 36 Knowledge Notes, research results of a joint study undertaken by the Government of Japan and the World Bank. These notes highlight key lessons learned in seven DRM thematic clusters—structural measures; nonstructural measures; emergency response; reconstruction planning; hazard and risk information and decision making; the economics of disaster risk, risk management, and risk financing; and recovery and relocation. Aimed at sharing Japanese cutting-edge knowledge with practitioners and decision makers, this book provides valuable guidance to other disaster-prone countries for mainstreaming DRM in their development policies and weathering their own natural disasters.

Subsea Pipeline Design, Analysis, and Installation
Author: Qiang Bai and Yong Bai | Size: 49 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Gulf Professional Publishing | Year: 2014 | pages: 770 | ISBN: 978-0-12-386888-6
As deepwater wells are drilled to greater depths, pipeline engineers and designers are confronted with new problems such as water depth, weather conditions, ocean currents, equipment reliability, and well accessibility. Subsea Pipeline Design, Analysis and Installation is based on the authors' 30 years of experience in offshore. The authors provide rigorous coverage of the entire spectrum of subjects in the discipline, from pipe installation and routing selection and planning to design, construction, and installation of pipelines in some of the harshest underwater environments around the world. All-inclusive, this must-have handbook covers the latest breakthroughs in subjects such as corrosion prevention, pipeline inspection, and welding, while offering an easy-to-understand guide to new design codes currently followed in the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, and other countries.
