Design and Detailing of Low-Rise Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Author(s)/Editor(s): David A. Fanella | Size: 50.1 MB| Format:PDF| Quality:Original preprint| Publisher: CRSI| Year: 2017| pages: 546 | ISBN: 9781943961337
The main purpose of this publication is to provide step-by-step design procedures and design aids that make designing and detailing reinforced concrete members simpler and faster. The requirements of the 2014 edition of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14) are presented in a straightforward manner with emphasis placed on the proper application of the provisions in everyday practice. Although the primary focus is on low-rise buildings, much of the content can be used in the design of buildings of any size.
The book is organized with respect to Seismic Design Category with applicable design and detailing requirements provided for one-way slabs, beams, two-way slabs, columns, walls, diaphragms, and foundations. Numerous design aids and flowcharts are given that guide the reader through the updated ACI 318 requirements. Code provisions are illustrated by many worked-out examples; for comparison purposes, the same buildings are used in different Seismic Design Categories.
The following topics are covered that are commonly not found in other reinforced concrete design resources:
Guidelines on how to achieve economical reinforced concrete structures, including how to choose an economical reinforced concrete floor system
Simplified methods for lateral load distribution (wind and seismic) in low-rise buildings
Design and detailing of diaphragms with and without openings
Preliminary joint sizes of special moment frames
Unique to this publication, is a collection of time-tested, practical reinforcement details for all types of structural members. Guidelines and recommendations are given that help in achieving overall economy and ease in constructability.
Appendices contain additional data that reduce design time for routine calculations. Included are tabulated values for the following:
Torsional section properties and reinforcement for common beam and slab sizes
Cross-sectional constant C for two-way slab systems with edge beams
Two-way shear critical section properties for square columns
Also included is a set of design strength interaction diagrams for square, tied columns that are typically used in low-rise buildings.

Large-Scale Validation of Seismic Performance of Bridge Columns
| Peresented By: Stephen Mahin; José Restrepo; Ian Buckle; Matthew Schoettler| Year: 2010| Format: mp4| Duration: 00:03:07| Size: 7.4 MB| Quality: 480
The seismic behavior of full-scale bridge columns designed based on current Caltrans practice is being investigated using the UCSD shake table as part of an extensive test program with E-Defense (Japan) and UC Berkeley in an effort to improve current bridge design and analysis practices.
This investigation will obtain, interpret and disseminate the first shake table results for full-scale bridge columns detailed consistent with current Caltrans design practice. Under the auspices of the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Department of Transportation of California (Caltrans) and the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) program; and industry sponsorships from Skanska and the Concrete and Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI), this research project plans on testing a 1.2 m diameter bridge column with a mass of 250 ton placed atop, in order to mobilize inertial forces.
The column will be densely instrumented to obtain high quality data and tested under various earthquake ground motions, including motions of severe intensity demanding large inelastic response. Results of the test program will be compared with results of recent shake table testing of full-scale bridge columns performed in Japan at the E-Defense test facility and with shake table results from reduced-scale tests to be carry out at the University of California at Berkeley.
Combined with analytical simulations, the results will also provide a critically needed assessment of the adequacy of reduced-scale models and tests conducted at altered strain states. These will deliver the missing data required to increase the confidence in the current analysis methods and validate (or improve) present design practices. The testing will be carried out at the UCSD Large Outdoor Shake Table Testing Facility and is scheduled to run from July through September of 2010.

Autodesk Structural Bridge Design software helps engineers achieve greater flexibility and efficiency in the design of small-to medium-span bridges integrating loading, analysis, and code checking processes whist providing an efficient workflow. This single integrated software solution does not require valuable time importing, exporting or converting data instead it provides tools to help accelerate project completion. Structural Bridge Design refines design options faster with automated updates in a define-analyse-code check loop whenever parameters change. Engineers can additionally improve accuracy and reliability by reviewing code check requirements with detailed “hand” calculation-style design sheets that are created will full formulae and code referencing.
Structural Bridge Design features
Section design
Define materials and geometry to produce calculations for bridge sections in a graphical environment.
Girder design
Define and design girder components in an interactive graphical calculation environment.
Loading, analysis, design
Use an integrated workflow for loading, analysis and code compliance checking (AASHTO, EUROCODES, and more) throughout the project.
Section design platform
Easily calculate section properties, including torsion, shear, and more, for any section.
Visual engineering
Understand the impact of loading conditions and design limits instantly to produce more effective designs.
Design calculation reports
Get full calculation design reports instantly in a useable, easy-to-check format.
Multiple analysis methods
Choose the appropriate analysis mode for the project stage: line beam, grillage, or finite element analysis, all combined with traffic load optimization.

This book provides methods and concepts which enable engineers to design mass and cost efficient products. Therefore, the book introduces background and motivation related to sustainability and lightweight design by looking into those aspects from a durability and quality point of view. Hence this book gives a "top-down" approach: What does an engineer has to do for providing a mass and cost efficient solution? A central part of that approach is the "stress-strength interference model" and how to deal with "stresses" (caused by operational loads) as well as with the "strength" of components (provided by material, design and manufacturing process). The basic concepts of material fatigue are introduced, but the focus of the volume is to develop an understanding of the content and sequence of engineering tasks to be performed which help to build reliable products. This book is therefore aimed specifically at students of mechanical engineering and mechatronics and at engineers in professional practice.

I suggest to make one subject of the forum to know the news about active members of the forum...
as I see some active members on the forum sometimes not appeared any mores... Just as all of us as friends through this helpful web site at least we can get news about us..
as example i do not know may be I am wrong.. I did not see Admin BennyP ( sorry spelling could be not correct) since long times...
Any way hope all the best for all of you my dear brothers
This book aims to present specific complicated and puzzling challenges encountered for application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in solving Structural Engineering problems by using ABAQUS software, which can fully utilize this method in complex simulation and analysis.
Therefore, an attempt has been to demonstrate the all process for modeling and analysis of impenetrable problems through simplified step by step illustrations with presenting screenshots from software in each part and also showing graphs.
