Tamrock Surface Drilling and Blasting was a book issued by Tamrock well before Sandvik's take over to be distributed to its customers operating in the surface quarrying/mining field.
Whilst some of the Tamrock's (now Sandvik) machines presented in the book are a little old-fashioned now (some of them, instead, are exactly the same even nowadays), the design and assessment techniques described in there are still applicable and very reliable.

Building Construction Handbook is an authoritative reference for all construction students and professionals. It is full of detailed drawings that clearly illustrate the construction of building elements. The principles and processes of construction are explained with the concepts of design included where appropriate. Extensive coverage of building construction practice and techniques, representing both traditional procedures and modern developments, are also included to provide the most comprehensive and easy to understand guide to building construction.
This new edition has been updated to reflect the 2011 changes to the building regulations, as well as new material on energy performance, and substantial revisions of the section on structures.
Building Construction Handbook is the essential, easy-to-use resource for undergraduate and vocational students on a wide range of courses including NVQ and BTEC National, through to Higher National Certificate and Diploma, to Foundation and three-year Degree level. It is also a useful practical reference for building designers, contractors and others engaged in the construction industry.

Part of the ICE manuals series, ICE manual of geotechnical engineering is the definitive geotechnical reference, providing best practice knowledge for civil and structural engineers.
Good geotechnical engineering requires an appreciation of the balance between theoretical principles, practical experience and the uncertainties present when dealing with the ground in its natural state. Written and edited by leaders in their fields, ICE manual of geotechnical engineering addresses this need, delivering an authoritative, comprehensive reference for the core geotechnical engineering principles, practical techniques, and the major questions engineers should keep in mind when dealing with real-world engineering challenges.
Covering the key topics in geotechnical engineering, from fundamental principles through site investigation and design to construction processes and verification, including problematic soils, and the design of foundations, earthworks and retaining structures, ICE manual of geotechnical engineering is an essential guide and invaluable reference for practising civil and structural engineers, architects, designers, consultants and contractors, working on projects of all sizes.

Features
Reflects the newest developments in the rapidly growing field of building materials engineering
Includes a special chapter devoted to new environmentally friendly polymer compounds for monolithic industrial floor coverings and coatings
Assimilates the latest information for industry and puts it into perspective
Deals systematically with polymer matrix concretes
Includes extensive study of the novel types of polymer concrete based on a vulcanized polybutadiene binder and nanostructured organic-silicate matrix

Examines specific formulation of the new polymer-based compounds for application in harsh environments—fire-protective coating and coating with high crack-resistant properties
Summary
One way of improving performance attributes of building structures is to use a new class of materials—polymer composites. They have unique properties that combine high strength with features of non-metallic materials. Polymer concretes (PC) appear to offer many possibilities for producing new materials with desired physical and mechanical characteristics, such as improved mechanical strength, low permeability, and greater chemical resistance. Advanced Polymer Concretes and Compounds presents the results of theoretical and experimental research on efficient building material composites based on advanced polymer binders.
This book examines the composition and properties of two new polymer concretes that have potential to solve various construction issues: rubber concrete based on a polybutadiene binder and silicate polymer concrete with an organo-silicate matrix. It examines the physical, mechanical, and technological properties of these PCs as well as their behavior in harsh environments and durability and reliability issues. The authors describe a new environmentally friendly polymer for monolithic industrial floor coverings and coatings—nonisocyanate polyurethanes. They also discuss advanced crack-resistant coatings based on water dispersion of chlorosulfonated polyethylene, which can be used on concrete, metal, and plastic for various industrial uses such as aircraft, automobiles, paint, and in shipbuilding and civil engineering.
The book covers a new type of epoxy composition with nano-heterogenic structure with potential for better mechanical properties and chemical resistance, acid-resistant building materials based on a nanostructured binder, and an advanced environmentally friendly and weather-resistant fire-protective coating for indoor and outdoor application to flammable substrates. With a focus on novel concretes and protective compounds for a variety of environments, this book reflects the newest developments in the rapidly growing field of building materials engineering.

This publication complements two earlier design guides for the design of composite bridges in accordance with the Eurocodes. It recognises that many highway bridges carry roads that are on a curved alignment and the supporting structure follows that curved alignment. The guidance addresses the consequences of the plan curvature on the design.
The publication discusses:
The options of using a series of straight girder lengths (chords to a curve) and of using curved girders.
The behaviour of curved elements, noting the torsional effects that arise, and the application of the Eurocodes to situations that are not always explicitly covered by its rules.
Consequences for construction (noting that the fabrication of curved girders is readily achievable in modern workshops) and the options for bridge articulation.
A short worked example illustrates the application of design rules to a two-span bridge, similar to the examples in publication P357 but curved in plan.
