Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings, 3rd Edition
Author: Stephen Emmitt, Christopher A. Gorse | Size: 45 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | Year: 2014 | pages: 580 | ISBN: 9781118255490
Robin Barry's Construction of Buildings was first published in 1958 in 5 volumes, rapidly becoming a standard text on construction. In its current 2 volume format Barry remains hugely popular with both students and lecturers of construction and related disciplines.
The third edition of Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings expands and deepens your understanding of construction technology. It covers the construction of larger-scale buildings (primarily residential, commercial and industrial) constructed with load bearing frames, supported by chapters on fit-out and second fix, lifts and escalators, off-site construction and a new chapter on building obsolescence and revitalisation. Functional and performance requirements of the main building elements are emphasised throughout, as is building efficiency and meeting the challenges of limiting the environmental impact of buildings. You will find the text fully up to date with the latest building regulations and construction technologies.

Summary
Both authors are innovators of the prefabrication of concrete structures an important advance towards industrialization of the building process. The detailing of connections between the factory produced elements is crucial, and the "strut and tie" models presented here can be directly applied in str

Earthquakes and Engineers: An International History
Author: Robert K. Reitherman | Size: 13 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) | Year: 2012 | Pages: 749 | ISBN: 9780784410714, 9780784476352
Earthquakes and Engineers: An International History is the first comprehensive treatment of the engineering techniques devised around the world to address seismic problems. Beginning in ancient times, threading through the Renaissance, and continuing into the latter half of the 20th century, Reitherman traces the evolution of humankind's understanding of the cause and characteristics of earthquakes and the development of methods to design structures that resist seismic shocks. This book examines the responses not only of structural engineers, but also of geotechnical engineers, architects, and planners. International efforts in such countries as Japan, China, India, Chile, Turkey, Italy, and the United States are placed in the broader social, technological, and economic contexts of their eras. This highly readable book is an essential reference for civil engineers who work on projects in seismic regions. For researchers in the field of the history of science and technology, the book presents original source material and an extensive list of references. Written in a straightforward style that is accessible to nonengineers, it will also be valuable to architects, planners, officials, and social scientists.

The availability of computers has, in real terms, moved forward the practice of structural engineering. Where it was once enough to have any analysis given a complex configuration, the profession today is much more demanding. How engineers should be more demanding is the subject of this book. In terms of the theory of structures, the importance of geometric nonlinearities is explained by the theorem which states that "In the presence of prestress, geometric nonlinearities are of the same order of magnitude as linear elastic effects in structures. " This theorem implies that in most cases (in all cases of incremental analysis) geometric nonlinearities should be considered. And it is well known that problems of buckling, cable nets, fabric structures, ... REQUIRE the inclusion of geometric nonlinearities. What is offered in the book which follows is a unified approach (for both discrete and continuous systems) to geometric nonlinearities which incidentally does not require a discussion of large strain. What makes this all work is perturbation theory. Let the equations of equilibrium for a system be written as where P represents the applied loads, F represents the member forces or stresses, and N represents the operator which describes system equilibrium.

Author: Cyril M. Harris | Size: 24.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: American Society of Plumbing Engineers | Year: 1998 | pages: 513 | ISBN: 978-1-891255-04-5
Here is a wealth of plumbing essentials for engineers, architects and plumbing professionals. Each chapter is written by an expert on the specific subject at hand. All aspects of plumbing engineering and design are covered - from the basics of water quality, treatment, supply, distribution and pressure - to the more sophisticated advances in earthquake protection and cross-connection control. More than nineteen chapters cover such important topics as piping insulation, water pumps, testing water systems, protecting water supply systems, fire sprinklers and storm water drainage systems.
