Can anyone share the Australian steel institute design manual - "Design of structural hollow section connections, vol.1: Design models by Syam, A. A. and Chapman, B. G"?
This authoritative and timely book presents current world thinking on the design and construction of large covered spaces. Drawing on contributions from internationally renowned projects, and directly from the designers, architects and engineers responsible for those schemes, readers are offered insights into many of the most innovative construction design projects of recent years. Technologies explored include the advances within stressed membrane roofing, atria and glass structures, with a focus on international developments. The book also addresses the problems of construction associated with these ambitious and vast projects and the attendant environmental issues and concerns that are raised with such high-profile schemes. Contributions are included from such luminaries as Frei Otto, Jorg Schlaich, Horst Berger, Kazuo Ishii, Ian Liddell, Mike Davies, Massimo Majoweicki, Max Fordham, John Thornton and many others, each detailing the design issues that were central to many of the most prestigious widespan projects. These include the Millennium Dome, Eden Project, Millennium Stadium Cardiff, the Sydney Olympic Stadium and the roof of the Great Court at the British Museum, all illustrated in colour.

Mechanics and Properties of Composed Materials and Structures
Author: Andreas Öchsner, Lucas F. M. da Silva & Holm Altenbach | Size: 7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2012 | pages: 205 | ISBN: 3642314961, 9783642314964
This collection of recent activities provides researchers and scientists with the latest trends in characterization and developments of composed materials and structures. Here, the expression composed materials indicates a wider range than the expression composite material which is many times limited to classical fibre reinforced plastics. The idea of composed structures and materials is to join different components in order to obtain in total better properties than one of the single constituents can provide. In this collection, well known experts present their research on composed materials such as textile composites, sandwich plates, hollow sphere structures, reinforced concrete as well as classical fibre reinforced materials.

This book details topics fundamental to the efficient operation of modern commercial farms and highlights advanced research that will enable next-generation wind energy technologies. In addition to fundamental concepts, the reader will be exposed to comprehensive treatments of topics like wake dynamics, analysis of complex turbine blades, and power electronics in small-scale wind turbine systems.
The book is organized into three sections, Inflow and Wake Influences on Turbine Performance, Turbine Structural Response, and Power Conversion, Control and Integration.

A 'General Approach to Dam Surveillance' is presented here, for owners, managers and other non specialists.
Dam Surveillance is a basic element in Dam Safety processes within the current legal frameworks. It covers a series of complementary and redundant activities, made of visual inspections, dam documentation management, monitoring, equipment checking and testing, and assessment of dam condition and behaviour.

International Workshop on Fluid-Structure Interaction
Theory, Numerics and Applications
Author: Meister, Andreas / Hartmann, Stefan / Schäfer, Michael / Turek, Stefan (Editor) | Size: 34 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: kassel university press | Year: 2009 | pages: 280 | ISBN: 978-3-89958-666-4
The objective of this book is to reflect the state of the art in fluid-structure interaction presented by engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists. The content contributes to a subject which is mainly driven by the collaboration of scientists working in different disciplines. This interaction can be seen in the presented topics of, for example, blood-artery components, motion of largely deformed structures in flow channels, aero-dynamical behavior of planes, a tribune roof under wind excitation, or the cooling process in metal forming applications where only a few physical problems are mentioned.

A sequential approach to construction project management, this text describes "pencil and paper" techniques for establishing project goals and objectives, arranging the set goals into a network and determining a time schedule for reaching the objectives. By covering the basics of preparing project schedules, a firm foundation is built for readers before they proceed into constructing task networks and developing more advanced computer applications.
