I am doing A&A work , we need to strengthen few rc beams with fiber wrap , i need design manuals or books based on BS standards with some reference. I need it urgently dear friends kindly help me.
A short review for design consideration of two common materials used in facade and curtain walling is presented. The characteristics of light-weight facade enveloping a building are different from the conventional steel or concrete structures. Glass cannot crack like concrete and it is much more brittle than steel. Aluminum involves many buckling modes similar to but more common than steel. Owing to the low Young modulus of elasticity around 1/3 of steel, buckling and large deflection nonlinear effects are important consideration in their design. This note summaries the most fundamental features of structures made of these materials.

For transportation design-build projects, the public agency has less control over day-to-day details of the process than with more traditional approaches to project design and construction. Design-build projects, therefore, require a thorough and thoughtful approach to assuring quality in the project by the public agency. This report examines how state transportation agencies have successfully approached quality assurance for design-build, including in procurement, design, construction, and post-construction operations and maintenance. Information for this study was gathered through a survey of all state departments of transportation (DOTs), literature review, content analysis of solicitation documents from 26 state DOTs, and review of policy documents from 17 state DOTs.

The new Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) and other existing pavement design guides use resilient modulus as the primary input parameter when characterizing stiffness of subsoils and unbound bases. Resilient modulus of soils is typically determined either by using laboratory tests or field tests. This report was prepared to describe the significance of the resilient modulus property, various methods of determining this property of subsoils and unbound bases, and the application of this parameter in the MEPDG. The report will be of interest to design, geotechnical and materials engineers and technicians. Information collected in this synthesis was based on a comprehensive literature review, surveys of pavement design, materials and geotechnical engineers from state departments of transportation (DOTs), and selected interviews. Information collected also included research reports from studies conducted by several state DOTs.

Performance-Based Maintenance Contracting (PBMC) provides incentives and disincentives to achieve desired outcomes or results from the maintenance contractor. This is distinct from the more usual practice for highway maintenance contracting—low bid combined with method specification. This report explores experience with PBMC in places where it has been adopted, including such issues as whether it has the potential to reduce costs and improve maintenance levels of service. Methods for implementing PBMC are also discussed. The report is likely to be useful for those agencies who are evaluating whether to include PBMC in their highway maintenance program. Information for this study was gathered by literature review of international experience, domestic U.S. state experience, federal government experience, and warranty contracts, as well as surveys conducted of state transportation agencies, Canadian provincial agencies, and a sampling of private firms. The surveys were augmented with individual interviews.

Performance-Based Construction Contractor Prequalification
Author: Gransberg, Douglas D University of Oklahoma, Norman Riemer, Caleb University of Oklahoma, Norman | Size: 2.21 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Transportation Research Board | Year: 2009 | pages: 109 | ISBN: 9780309098281
Performance-based construction contractor prequalification seeks to add contractors' past performance to the prequalification process. Performance criteria may include construction quality, keeping to schedule, and safety record. This report summarizes experience and practice of state transportation agencies and includes information from non-transportation construction. The focus is on design-bid-build projects; however, there is also information on design-build and construction manager/general contractor projects. Information was gathered through a literature review augmented by content analyses of administrative prequalification documents and Requests for Qualifications. A survey was administered to state transportation agencies and Canadian provincial transportation agencies. Finally, structured interviews were conducted with construction contractors to obtain an industry perspective.
