A comprehensive treatment of current fastening technology using inserts (anchor channels, headed stud), anchors (metal expansion anchor, undercut anchor, bonded anchor, concrete screw and plastic anchor) as well as power actuated fasteners in concrete. It describes in detail the fastening elements as well as their effects and load-bearing capacities in cracked and non-cracked concrete. It further focuses on corrosion behaviour, fire resistance and characteristics with earthquakes and shocks. It finishes off with the design of fastenings according to the European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG 001), the Final Draft of the CEN Technical Specification 'Design of fastenings for use in concrete' and the American Standards ACI 318-05, Appendix D and ACI 349-01, Appendix B.

Design process of a reinforced concrete shell element involves two major steps: analysis
and design. Development of the computerized linear elastic analysis techniques, such as
the finite element method, has essentially solved the first part of the problem. Design, on
the other hand, is not as easy to handle since the number of unknowns is larger than the
number of available equations of statics. Due to this fact, many design methods have been
developed by various researchers. This thesis attempts to compare the more important
existing methods of analysis of orthogonally reinforced concrete shell elements with each
other. A Windows-based computer program is written in Visual Basic to implement these
methods and to facilitate the analysis. First, the selected results of the methods are
compared with available experimental data. Since the amount of experimental results is
not adequate for a definitive compariso~ a parametric study is carried out. The modified
compression field theory is used as a reference in the parametric study. The effects of
loading, reinforcement ratio, and concrete strength on the strength of a total of 720 panels
investigated. The research showed that under highly unsymmetrical loading conditions,
and in the cases where the reinforcement ratio in one orthogonal direction is quite different
from the one in the other direction (highly orthotropic ), the accuracy of the existing
methods of analysis significantly decreases. Change in concrete strength played an
important role only in the methods which used simple models for concrete behaviour.
Based on the present investigation, suitable methods are identified for different load
cases, and recommendations for future work are made.

Two fundamental flow phenomena, the separation bubble (SB) and conical vortex~
over the roof (flat and rectangular) of the Texas Tech test building are studied in terms of
flow characteristics and pressure-generating mechanisms. Major fmdings contribute to
understanding the mechanisms of pressure generation and the roles of turbulence and
other properties of the incident wind in loading effects.
Much of the debate on wind-tunnel simulation priority in the wind engineering
community has failed to distinguish the different effects the incident wind has on two
types of quantities: single events, e.g., minimum (peak) pressures, and statistics~ such as
the mean and the rms pressures. The turbulence intensities, reflecting the gust structure
and the directional fluctuations of the free-stream wind, might bear significant influences
collectively on the pressure statistics. It is the intensity of individual longitudinal gusts
(as well as the incident wind angles) that decides the data-run-wise peak-pressure
coefficients on the roof corner~ while the peak-pressure coefficients associated with the
SB are governed by the lateral directional fluctuation in the incident wind. Proper
simulation of the incident wind profile (boundary layer type) is probably the most
important single input in the wind- structure interaction process.

I have a suggestion for new forum sub-section "Mobile Civil Software" and sub-forums "Android OS" , "iOS" and "Windows Mobile" etc.
There is lot of programs for smartphones and tablets, but there isn't some kind of a Index for this programs, also there reviews are not very reliable.

Full-Scale Testing and Foundation Design - Honoring Bengt H. Fellenius
Author: Mohamad H. Hussein; K. Rainer Massarsch; Garland E. Likins; Robert D. Holtz | Size: Unknown MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Geotechnical Special Publications | Year: 2012 | pages: 784 | ISBN: 9780784412084
Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE.
Full-Scale Testing and Foundation Design, GSP 227, honors Bengt H. Fellenius, Dr.Tech., P.Eng., for his noteworthy efforts to advance foundation engineering research, design, construction, and testing practices. From the beginning in Sweden of his 50-year career as a geotechnical engineer through nearly two decades as a professor of civil engineering at the University of Ottawa, Dr. Fellenius has made outstanding contributions in the international arena to the development and advancement of innovative approaches and practical methods for incorporating full-scale testing in foundation design, especially for deep foundations.
This collection contains 51 papers on the use of full-scale testing to enhance the design of foundations. Eighteen papers are reprints of landmark articles authored or co-authored by Dr. Fellenius. Thirty-three additional peer-reviewed papers written especially for this collection present test methods for various types of foundations and describe useful applications in a diversity of situations. These papers offer findings from interesting projects and document valuable lessons learned by some of the leading experts in the field of foundation engineering from around the world.
Full-Scale Testing and Foundation Design contains technical and practical information that will be valuable to geotechnical engineers, foundation specialists, researchers, and construction engineers.
