The second edition of the Structural Concrete Textbook is an extensive revision that reflects advances in knowledge and technology over the past decade. It was prepared in the intermediate period from the CEP-FIP Model Code 1990 (MC90) to fib Model Code 2010 (MC2010), and as such incorporates a significant amount of information that has been already finalized for MC2010, while keeping some material from MC90 that was not yet modified considerably.
The objective of the Textbook is to give detailed information on a wide range of concrete engineering from selection of appropriate structural system and also materials, through design and execution and finally behaviour in use.
The revised fib Structural Concrete Textbook covers the following main topics:
phases of design process, conceptual design, short and long term properties of conventional concrete (including creep, shrinkage, fatigue and temperature influences), special types of concretes (such as self compacting concrete, architectural concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, high and ultra high performance concrete), properties of reinforcing and prestressing materials, bond, tension stiffening, moment-curvature, confining effect, dowel action, aggregate interlock;
structural analysis (with or without time dependent effects), definition of limit states, control of cracking and deformations, design for moment, shear or torsion, buckling, fatigue, anchorages, splices, detailing;
design for durability (including service life design aspects, deterioration mechanisms, modelling of deterioration mechanisms, environmental influences, influences of design and execution on durability);
fire design (including changes in material and structural properties, spalling, degree of deterioration), member design (linear members and slabs with reinforcement layout, deep beams); management, assessment, maintenance, repair (including, conservation strategies, risk management, types of interventions) as well as aspects of execution (quality assurance), formwork and curing.
The updated Textbook provides the basics of material and structural behaviour and the fundamental knowledge needed for the design, assessment or retrofitting of concrete structures. It will be essential reading material for graduate students in the field of structural concrete, and also assist designers and consultants in understanding the background to the rules they apply in their practice. Furthermore, it should prove particularly valuable to users of the new editions of Eurocode 2 for concrete buildings, bridges and container structures, which are based only partly on MC90 and partly on more recent knowledge which was not included in the 1999 edition of the Textbook.

Typically, shear strength is associated with large strain phenomena, while shear wave propagation is associated with small strain phenomena. Yet, the effective stress and void ratio, both key determinants of sandy soil shear strength, are also the primary factors affecting shear wave velocity. This study presents a shear wave velocity-void ratio-shear strength correlation through experimental tests. Natural sands taken from various reclaimed or recently deposited sandy fields are used for reconstituting specimens at different void ratios in an oedometer cell. Shear wave velocities are measured while changing the state of the stress in the cell for each specimen prepared at a specific void ratio. The relationship between shear wave velocity and vertical effective stress is found at extreme values of void ratios (emin and emax). Direct shear tests are also performed on specimens with various void ratios. Experimental results show that the internal friction angle of each sand type increases with decreasing void ratio, rendering a unique relationship between friction angle and void ratio. Finally, a procedure is suggested to evaluate the in-situ shear strengths of a sandy soil based on in-situ shear wave velocities. Results show that the suggested method effectively estimates in-situ shear strength.

Bridging the gap between theoretical texts and the massive and expensive software packages, this modern-day handbook covers finite element programming in a wide range of problems in mechanical, civil, aeronautical and electrical engineering. Comprehensive, it ranges from the static analysis of two- and three-dimensional structures to stress analysis of thick slabs on elastic foundations, and from two- and three- dimensional vibration analysis problems to two-dimensional field problems including heat transfer and acoustic vibrations. The 24 printouts of powerful and valuable engineering computer programs, written in QUICK BASIC, are introduced by a preliminary chapter giving useful hints and formulae intended for structural design. The programs are capable of analyzing problems in engineering design and manufacture, with text fully describing how to use the computer programs for their particular problems or tasks. The finite element method is used in all the programs, and the problems for analysis can be of quite complex design and shape and with complex boundary conditions.

Autodesk InfraWorks is a conceptual modeling tool that helps civil engineers to create and demonstrate the proposals. The program allows you to quickly create visual conceptual models, inscribed into the environment. Designers can easily evaluate different design options. The rich design tools allow us to demonstrate the success of project proposals to interested parties.

we are really sorry and apologize for recent issue on site, due to terminating our server panel due to US embargo, and also doing some improvement on server, we prepare new server with new HTTP webserver and accelerator on it. We worked more than 10 days for preparing it. we tested it before switching on new server and all things looks good, then we switched DNS records to new server, new DNS usually need 24-72 hours to apply to all internet provider in the world, unfortunately after this work done we found due to a issue users can not log-n forum also we do not have any access to admin control panel, we (support team) start works on new server to fix the issue and we decided to change DNS record to old server again to bring p forum again, unfortunately this changes need 24-72 hours again to be applied.
All these works is for having best place for large amount of users. Security, Performance are going to increase.
any way we apologize you for this issue. and we`ll announce that may be some like issue will be happen till fully migration to new server done.

This volume emphasizes fundamental concepts, both on the development of mathematical models of fracture phenomena and on the analysis of these models. Cases involving stress waves impinging on cracks, tractions suddenly applied to the faces of cracks, and rapid crack growth and arrest are considered in detail. Most of the work is concerned with the behavior of nominally elastic materials, but available results on elastic-plastic and elastic-viscoplastic materials are included. Connections to experimental results and to applications in structural mechanics, seismology, and materials science are noted whenever possible.
