This book is a pioneering classic in the philosophy of structural engineering, focusing on structural design and safety. David Blockley's erudition is considerable, especially for an engineer, and the book is greatly enriched by it. More specifically, Blockley draws on philosophical, historical, sociological, scientific, and mathematical perspectives in order to thoroughly and deeply examine the nature and basis of structural engineering practice. The result is a wide ranging book which is both informative and enjoyable.

The Third Edition of this publication has become the leading guide for student engineers and is used widely on engineering courses throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. The book gives information on common design principles and rules for the design of structures and component products. It also describes a common series of methods for calculating the structural strength of elements used in construction. It contains extracts from some of the principal parts of each of the Eurocodes. The extracts chosen are as concise as possible, focusing on the essential principles in the Eurocodes. Commentary is kept to a minimum and only made on parts of the text that require explanation. This is a user-friendly guide that introduces the principles of structural Eurocodes to students of civil engineering, structural engineering and structural design. It would also be useful guidance for anyone working in the construction industry.

Some Research Results on Bridge Health Monitoring, Maintenance and Safety III
Author: Yang Liu | Size: 15 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd | Year: 2014 | pages: 214 | ISBN: 978-3-03785-817-2
The amount of deteriorating bridges is increasing gradually, and the costs of maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of these bridges often far exceed available budgets. To alleviate this issue, the bridge engineering profession continues to take positive steps towards developing more comprehensive bridge monitoring and management systems. This collection of invited papers encompasses some aspects of bridge health monitoring, maintenance and safety. Specifically, it deals with: bridge health monitoring; bridge repair and rehabilitation issues; bridge related safety and other implications.

The BS 9999 handbook: Effective fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings
Author: Michael Green and Jonathan Joinson | Size: 2 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: British Standards Institution | Year: 2010 | pages: 143 | ISBN: 9780580675089
Getting to grips with BS 9999, the key standard for fire safety in buildings.
BS 9999 Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings is the essential code of practice that gives the recommendations and guidance on the design, management and use of buildings to achieve acceptable levels of fire safety for all people in and around buildings.
This new guide delivers the tools needed to use the standard effectively, plus sets out a methodology for successfully deploying its flexible design recommendations.
Bringing together the key information on BS 9999, including learning points and background information, this easy-to-use and practical handbook can help you quickly and effectively prepare or evaluate designs to the requirements of the Building Regulations.
Read it to get recommendations on how to achieve acceptable levels of fire safety for all people in and around buildings, including escape for disabled people.
Each chapter starts with key learning points to summarize what you need to know. Tools such as the Decision Chart on Designing for Means of Escape, and the Key Factors for Assessing Management Levels will make planning easier.
The book also includes the most commonly used data, tables and figures, as well as recommendations for shopping complexes, theatres, cinemas and similar public venues as well as process plant and outdoor venues.
The book on BS 9999 will give you insights into fire safety guidance for the following:
Risk profiles including occupancy characteristics
Management levels
Additional fire protection measures
Travel distances, door and stair widths
Escape for disabled people
Considerations for fire fighting
Building structure
Theatres and cinemas
Shopping complexes
Plant buildings and outdoor structures.

Chief Vincent Dunn, a 42-year fire service veteran, has updated his best-selling book which examines the dangers of structural failure caused by fire. This is the second edition of the first textbook written to warn firefighters, company officers, and fire chiefs about exactly how structures collapse when destroyed by fire � and examines the subject of burning building collapse in great detail. More importantly, this book, unlike any other publication, instructs firefighters and fire officers in how to survive burning building collapse.
