Parking Structures: Planning, Design, Construction, Maintenance and Repair
Author: Anthony P. Chrest, Mary Smith, Sam Bhuyan, Mohammad Iqbal, Donald R. Monahan | Size: 24 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2001 | pages: 855 | ISBN: 1461356237
Parking Structures provides a single-source reference for parking structure designers, builders, and owners. This third edition is still the only such book. It addresses how to select the best functional and structural designs for a given situation, ensure long-term durability, design for easy maintenance, decide on the number and placement of entrances and exits, design an easily understood wayfinding system, design for ADA compliance, plan for internal auto and pedestrian traffic circulation, select the most effective and energy efficient lighting system, avoid the most common design and construction pitfalls, provide for adequate patron safety and security, carry out needed repairs, and extend the parking structure life. Parking Structures addresses all the major issues related to parking garages. It is an essential reference for parking structure owners, structural engineers, architects, contractors, and other professionals.
New in the third edition: This third edition of Parking Structures includes new material on metric dimensions and recommendations for functional design globally, new research on flow capacity and queuing at parking entry/exits, an entirely new chapter on planning for a new parking structure, including cost issues and alternatives to structure construction, pedestrian considerations, safety in parking facilities, plazas above parking structures, an expanded chapter on seismic design, seismic retrofit, life cycle cost analysis, and upgrades to existing structures.

This handbook discusses, in one volume, a wide array of topics that have entered the mainstream of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering over the past two decades, while at the same time not losing sight of the more conventional aspects of the discipline. The topics covered range from conventional saturated soil mechanics to unsaturated soil behavior, rock mechanics, hydrogeology and geosynthetics. The book deals with pavements, shallow and deep foundations, embankments, slopes, retaining walls, buried structures, dynamics and earthquakes, contaminant transport, groundwater monitoring, and the containment, treatment and remediation of contaminated sites. Risk assessment and risk-based management for both geotechnical and geoenvironmental applications are discussed. The book is intended as a handbook both for individuals requiring an introduction to a given topic and practitioners and researchers already knowledgeable in the field but seeking a quick reference to refresh their memory regarding the most recent techniques and guidance to other places to look for more information. The various chapters of the book have been extensively cross-referenced to assist the reader who opens the book at the section most relevant to their current needs in finding other relevant material in this book. The 50 contributors to the 30 chapters of the book are all recognized experts in their field - from industry and the academic world.

Increased demands for improved road and rail links on our already overcrowded transport systems and the lack of good quality building land are forcing engineers to construct embankments with steeper side slopes and on lower grade soils. The use of reinforcing geotextiles is one way of overcoming the problems this presents. In the past 20 years, geotextiles have taken technological leaps, from acting only as a separator to actually reinforcing soils. Over this period, much theoretical and practical information has been accumulated and this book includes papers on these developments, particularly the use of specially developed low-creep polymers.

Dear all,
I,m verifying the computer results for response spectrum analysis and would like to get a reference on how modal combination is done. I think paper will be helpful n oul b ppreciate if you can share it with us. The article details are as follows.

Design of Fastenings for Use in Concrete - the CEN/TS 1992-4 Provisions
Author: Dr. Ing. Rainer Mallee, Dr. Ing. Werner Fuchs, Prof. Dr. Ing. Rolf Eligehausen(auth.), Konrad Bergmeister, Frank Fingerloos, Johann Dietrich Worner(eds.) | Size: 1.4 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2013 | pages: 161 | ISBN: 9783433030448, 9783433602737
The European standard draft CEN/TS 1992-4 for the design of fastenings by means of headed studs, anchor channels, mechanical and chemical anchors is ready for use. This book elivers a detailed description of the determination of tension and shear load actions. Furthermore plastic load capacity design and a plastic design approach are given. Durability, fire resistance and earthquake action are exposed to a particular treatment.
Selected chapters of the German concrete yearbook "Beton Kalender" are now available in English. The new English BetonKalender Series delivers internationally useful engineering expertise and industrial know-how from Germany.
The Beton-Kalender was founded in 1906 in Berlin, and very soon after it has become a "bible" for construction engineers. Its founder Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942) thought that it should support the annual progress of the new building method with ferro-concrete structures "until its tempestuous development would be brought to the end". But, with exception 1945-50 it is published annually until today.
