The definitive design and construction industry source for building with wood—now in a thoroughly updated Sixth Edition
Since its first publication in 1966, Timber Construction Manual has become the essential design and construction industry resource for building with structural glued laminated timber. Timber Construction Manual, Sixth Edition provides architects, engineers, contractors, educators, and related professionals with up-to-date information on engineered timber construction, including the latest codes, construction methods, and authoritative design recommendations. Content has been reorganized to flow easily from information on wood properties and applications to specific design considerations.
Based on the most reliable technical data available, this edition has been thoroughly revised to encompass:
> A thorough update of all recommended design criteria for timber structural members, systems, and connections
> An expanded collection of real-world design examples supported with detailed schematic drawings
> New material on the role of glulam in sustainable building practices
> The latest design and construction codes, including the 2012 National Design Specification for Wood Construction, AITC 117-2010, and examples featuring ASCE 7-10 and IBC 2009
> More cross-referencing to other available AITC standards on the AITC website

Predicting water runoff in ungauged water catchment areas is vital to practical applications such as the design of drainage infrastructure and flooding defences, runoff forecasting, and for catchment management tasks such as water allocation and climate impact analysis. This important new book synthesises decades of international research, forming a holistic approach to catchment hydrology and providing a one-stop resource for hydrologists in both developed and developing countries. Topics include data for runoff regionalisation, the prediction of runoff hydrographs, flow duration curves, flow paths and residence times, annual and seasonal runoff, and floods. Illustrated with many case studies and including a final chapter on recommendations for researchers and practitioners, this book is written by expert authors involved in the prestigious IAHS PUB initiative. It is a key resource for academic researchers and professionals in the fields of hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, geography, soil science, and environmental and civil engineering.
> A full colour synthesis of decades' worth of world-wide research by expert practising hydrologists, forming the first complete compendium of hydrologic prediction methods
> Analyses Newtonian (bottom-up) and Darwinian (top-down) approaches to the complex environmental systems of water catchments
> Emphasises comparative hydrology, with a range of diverse methods and models, providing a sound framework for predictive capability in ungauged catchments

This publication has been developed to provide guidance as to how the direct displacement-based design methodology can be codified. It is intended for insertion within the seismic requirements of a code, establishing how design forces can be obtained using a Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) approach. The document has currently been drafted with reference to several clauses of Eurocode 8. This document is presented in a traditional “Code + Commentary” format, on a split two-column page. The commentary aims to generally clarify the code requirements and indicate references where the background and further discussion on the requirements can be found

Steel Bridges - Conceptual and Structural Design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges
Author: Lebet, Jean-Paul; Hirt, Manfred A. | Size: 29 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 2013 | pages: 600 | ISBN: 978-1466572966
This English translation of the successful French edition presents the conception and design of steel and steel-concrete composite bridges, from simple beam bridges to cable supported structures. The book focuses primarily on road bridges, emphasizing the basis of their conception and the fundamentals that must be considered to assure structural safety and serviceability, as well as highlighting the necessary design checks. The principles are extended in later chapters to railway bridges as well as bridges for pedestrians and cyclists. Particular attention is paid to consideration of the dynamic performance.

A visual feast of design
A liberally illustrated account of how concrete can be used to create aesthetically pleasing designs
A source of inspiration for architects, designers and engineers
Summary
This is a broadly chronological account of the decorative and innovative use of Portland cement-based concrete. Contrary to the oft-held belief that concrete is a dull material that is used unimaginatively, this book demonstrates that it can be used in an exciting and inspiring way while benefiting from being a highly durable building material.
After tracing the decorative use of concrete back several thousand years, its development is followed into the 20th century with the invention of Portland cement and its subsequent use in vast volumes. As concrete was used more widely, it also was used more creatively and accounts are included of some of the early exponents of the material such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Nervi, Lubetkin, and Arup. The brilliance of these and other designers and engineers has provided a legacy of economy and form that is akin to today's current vogue of minimalism.
The variety of scale and form is remarkable and after considering decorative processes and techniques, the book moves into the sphere of art, demonstrating the flexibility of the material.
The book contains a wealth of illustrations, and in the later chapters the author considers the work of selected designers and then presents a large number of examples from around the world. The final chapter looks ahead, taking in current developments in high strength concrete that allow thin, slender applications, also novel self-cleaning concrete and even transparent concrete!
Of one thing we can be certain - concrete is not dull!

Strengthening of Concrete Structures with Adhesively Bonded Reinforcement :
Design and Dimensioning of CFRP Laminates and Steel Plates
Author: Konrad Zilch, Roland Niedermeier and Wolfgang Finckh | Size: 2 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2014 | pages: 158 | ISBN: 3433030863, 9783433030868
Selected chapters from the German concrete yearbook are now being published in the new English "Beton-Kalender Series" for the benefit of an international audience. Since it was founded in 1906, the Ernst & Sohn "Beton-Kalender" has been supporting developments in reinforced and prestressed concrete. The aim was to publish a yearbook to reflect progress in "ferro-concrete" structures until - as the book's first editor, Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942), expressed it - the "tempestuous development" in this form of construction came to an end. However, the "Beton-Kalender" quickly became the chosen work of reference for civil and structural engineers, and apart from the years 1945-1950 has been published annually ever since.
