Capital Gate / The Leaning Tower Of Abu Dhabi is a skyscraper in Abu Dhabi adjacent to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre designed with a striking lean. At 160 m (520 ft) and 35 storeys, it is one of the tallest buildings in the city and features an 18-degree incline to the west. The owner and developer of Capital Gate is Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company. The tower (also known as the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi) is the focal point of the Capital Centre/Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre master development.

Author: Edited by Wai-Fah Chen, Norimitsu Kishi, and Masato Komuro | Size: 70.7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Image PDF | Publisher: J. Ross Publishing | Year: 2011 | pages: 1263 | ISBN: 9781932159998
Research on the topic of steel frames with semi-rigid connections (Partially Restrained (PR) construction or PR connection) has been conducted over the past 10 years. Despite significant research and development efforts, usage of PR principles has nevertheless been very slow in coming to the profession caused in part by the lack of easy access to reliable test data on these connections and also due to the lack of software for practical implementation. With the publication of the 2005 AISC specifications as well as Eurocode 3, practical implementation of the use of PR connections in structural systems is now a real possibility. This Handbook presents a simple and comprehensive introduction that will help design practitioners implement these new developments into engineering practice. Beginning with a discussion of the new specifications and classifications of these connections, the authors go on to show, on the basis of the collected connections database, practical mathematical models for computer implementation, and provide case studies on these frames including composite construction. With the help of the user-friendly list of collected data in tabular form with illustrative figures, information on semi-rigid connections is now available in a single publication and may ultimately result in its wide-spread usage among practitioners.
Key Features:
- Introduces the 2005 AISC specifications and the new Eurocode 3 on semi-rigid construction
- Includes more than 900 semi-rigid connection test data in tabular form with figures
- Provides connection models for analysis and design with case studies
- Includes the recent development of steel-concrete composite connections with case studies
- Offers online, updated information and test data for WAV users

Self-centering post-tensioned energy dissipating (PTED) steel frames for seismic regions
Author: Christopoulos, Constantin | Size: 9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: University of California | Year: 2002 | pages: 315 | ISBN: ____
Proposes and experimentally tests a new moment-resisting connection that incorporates high-strength post-tensioned steel elements along with energy dissipating bars, the PTED. PTED connections exhibit greater capacity to ensure small residual drifts through self-centering properties even during significant inelastic deformations during cyclic loading.

Design Recommendation For Storage Tanks and Their Supports with Emphasis On Seismic Design, 2010 Edition
Author: Sub-committee for Design of Storage Tanks | Size: 4.56 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Architectural Institute of Japan | Year: 2010 | pages: 179 | ISBN: N.A.
Architectural Institute of Japan - Design Recommendation For Storage Tanks and Their Supports with Emphasis On Seismic Design, 2010 Edition
Foreword
The Architectural Institute of Japan set up a “Sub-Committee for Design of Storage Tanks” to provide a recommendation of the seismic design for the various types of storage tanks in common use throughout Japan. The Sub-Committee first published “Design Recommendation for Storage Tanks and Their Supports” in 1984, and amended it in the 1990, 1996 and 2010 publications. This current revised recommendation provides bulk material pressures for silos and further guidance on seismic design methods for storage tanks based on the horizontal loadcarrying
capacity in the structure.
It is envisaged by publishing the English version of “Design Recommendation for Storage Tanks and Their Supports” that the above unique design recommendation will be promoted to the overseas countries who are concerned on the design of storage tanks and the activities of the Architectural Institute of Japan will be introduced them too. It is addressed how this recommendation is in an advanced standard in terms of the theory of the restoring force characteristics of the structure considering the Elephant Foot Bulge (EFB), the effect of the uplifting tank and the plastic deformation of the bottom plate at the shell-to-bottom juncture in the event of earthquake, the design spectrum for sloshing in tanks, the design pressure for silos, and the design methods for the under-ground storage tanks as well. The body of the recommendation was completely translated into English but the translation of the commentary was limited to the minimum necessary parts for understanding and utilising the theories and equations in the body. The sections 2.7 Timbers and 4.9 Wooden Storage Tanks are omitted as they are not common in overseas countries. Listing of some Japanese references are omitted and some new references are added in this English version.
It is worthy of note that the contents of this recommendation have been verified and their efficacy confirmed by reference to data obtained from the tanks and silos damaged during recent earthquakes in Japan, including the Hanshin-Awaji Great Earthquake in 1995 and the Niigataken Chuetu-oki Earthquake in 2007.
