JSCE Standard Specifications for Concrete Structures - Materials and Construction
Author: TC | Size: 4.74 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Japan Society of Civil Engineers | Year: 2007 | pages: 490 | ISBN: 9784810607536
The “Standard Specifications for Concrete Structures, Materials and Construction” provides basic general rules concerning the construction of concrete structures. In the construction phase, the construction method and the performance during the construction work are determined based on the design drawings and restrictions on construction. Then, materials are selected and concrete mix proportions are determined, where a concreting plan is developed so as to meet the requirements for water content, cement amount, cement type and other parameters. Whether the concreting plan meets the construction requirements or performance requirements of the structure or not is verified by an appropriate method. If the requirements are not satisfied, the concreting method is re-specified or the mix proportions are modified as long as the conditions handed over from the design phase are met.

To optimise formwork costs and minimise the time for its construction, the contractor needs to understand the guiding principles of safe and efficient formwork construction. He must also have some insight into the relative merits of the various methods, and should appreciate the practical details of formwork construction. This is a practical, heavily illustrated and comprehensive manual for the construction industry. It is equally useful as a text for building students and teachers and trainees. Its large format, and extensive use of line drawings make it clear and straightforward to use.

The first International Workshop on Connections in Steel Structures (Connections I) was held in Cachan, France in 1987, followed by Connections II in 1991 (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA), Connections III in 1995 (Trento, Italy), Connections IV in 2000 (Roanoke, Virginia, USA), Connections V in 2004 (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) while Connections VI was organized in 2008, in Chicago, USA.
Workshop attendance is by invitation only, and is limited to researchers, designers, fabricators and steel industry representatives with significant expertise in the areas of behavior, strength and design of connections for steel structures. We focus especially on attendance from Europe and North America, since this is how the workshops were initially developed; however, participation of some key persons from several other countries is welcomed. The confirmation of successful organization of these workshops is supported by books published along the six editions, containing 289 scientific papers of very high quality. The results and recommendations have had a pronounced influence on standards, codes and practice in a number of countries. A file with general information about previous Workshops is attached.
The 2012 Workshop will be organized in the historical city of Timișoara, by the "Politehnica" University and the Romanian Academy, under the supervision of ECCS and AISC. The first three days, May 30th and 31st, and June 1st will be devoted for Technical Sessions, while in the last day a tour will be proposed. Additionally, a specific program will be offered for accompanying persons.
As with the previous workshops, Connections VII is co-sponsored by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).

This specification, “Design,” (hereafter, the Specification) provides principles for structural design and verification of performances of all concrete structures including those made with reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and steel-concrete composites, as well as the prerequisite for verification and the structural details.

JSCE Standard Specifications for Steel and Composite Structures
Author: TC | Size: 3.87 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Japan Society of Civil Engineers | Year: 2009 | pages: 266 | ISBN: 9784810605655
These specifications apply to the structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance of steel structures, composite girders, and composite columns filled with concrete. Composite columns are treated explicitly only in the Seismic Design volume. The structures considered in these specifications are general steel structures in which structure of the main members consists of steel and composite girders and columns composed of both steel and concrete. As for composite girders, references [JSCE 2002a] and [JSCE 2002b] may be referred to instead of these specifications.
Highway and railroad bridges are the main focus of these specifications, although port and harbor structures, river structures, and electric power facilities are also considered. Each of these structure types also has its own specifications or standards for planning, design, construction, and maintenance. However, as each of these specifications or standards is codified for a specific type of structure, there is some possibility of difficulty in attempting to plan, design, construct, and maintain a specific structure that does not have a specific applicable specification or standard. Here, not only are the normal techniques for structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance relating to specific steel and composite structures such as highway and railway bridges specified, but their applicability to the other structures is also considered.
Where the articles of these specifications are insufficient and/or inappropriate for dealing with the structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance of a specific individual structure type, it may not be necessary to apply these specifications if the effectiveness, appropriateness, accuracy, and applicable scope of another selected technique can be certified. Even in this case, however, the structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance of the structure may be implemented while taking account of the substance of these specifications.

In the Wake of Tacoma is the first comprehensive treatment of the changes the 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge has imposed on the design of suspension bridges. Designed as a historical narrative, this heavily illustrated book describes design trends before the collapse, the collapse itself and the investigations to determine its cause. The book goes on to examine subsequent aerodynamic and other design developments and their application in suspension bridges worldwide over the six decades following the collapse. In the Wake of Tacoma also provides a comprehensive reference work on suspension bridges in general, examining virtually every suspension bridge of note built in the past six decades, and highlighting overall development of the state of the art today. It goes beyond the major, well-known bridges to examine many small- and mid-span suspension bridges worldwide that have contributed significantly to the modern development of the form. Also covered are the engineering debates and engineers involved, and discussions of bridges under construction, under design, and new design concepts and materials to conquer the huge distances envisaged for such crossings as the Messina and Gibraltar straits. Presented in easy-to-understand, non-technical language, this book should appeal to both engineers and non-engineers with an interest in bridges and engineering in general

A unique full-scale study was undertaken to consider the behavior of gypsum board partition walls and typical suspended ceiling systems. Each specimen consisted of four partition walls which created an enclosed space and allowed for the interaction of perpendicular walls framed into each other to be evaluated. The effects of discontinuities in the partition walls were studied through the placement of a large opening in one of the walls and a door frame in the opposite wall. The setup also allowed for the evaluation of interaction between the walls and ceiling system. The specimens were loaded through the use of a shake table such that the behavior and damage could be correlated with particular drift levels. The non-structural walls underwent a rocking behavior as a result of the presence of a perpendicular wall. Significant damage was seen as drift levels reached 1/66 radians with most of this damage concentrated around the door frame and at the corners of the partition walls. Only minimal damage was imparted to the ceiling systems as they performed to design standards. The results of this test were critical in providing preliminary data for the full-scale study of a four-story steel moment frame tested at E-defense in Japan, which incorporated these non-structural systems.
