Study the design of steel building structures per the 2005 unified specification, ANSI/AISC 360-05 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings with this key resource. Author Louis F. Geschwindner first builds the foundation for steel design and then explores the various member types in more detail. He provides guidance for those new to the field as well as an excellent review for practicing engineers looking to learn the provisions of the unified specification and to convert their practice from the old specifications to the new one.

Expansive Soils, Problems and Practice in Foundation and Pavement Engineering, st ed
Author: John Nelson (Author), Debora J. Miller (Author) | Size: 12.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc | Year: 1992 | pages: 284 | ISBN: 0471511862
Essential technical information for building on expansive soils --complete with practical, proven design methods.
Expansive Soils examines factors that influence the design of foundations and pavements built on expansive soils, and explores key design procedures and remedial measures that address these factors effectively. Backed by the authors' extensive research and experience --including interviews with practicing engineers working with expansive soils --this authoritative volume is an important reference text for geotechnical and foundation engineers, geologists, construction professionals, and students.
Easy to understand and apply, Expansive Soils contains:
* Site investigation techniques for identification and classification of expansive soils
* Heave prediction methods using different types of data --with rigorous treatment of soil suction theory and measurement, oedometer tests, and more
* Alternative design procedures for drilled pier and slab-on-grade foundations, highway and airfield pavements
* Treatment and chemical stabilization techniques --including salt treatment; moisture barriers; lime and cement stabilization; and other procedures

A very important article - always on the turn or where significant changes stiffness of tall buildings have a transient structure, whose "beam" is very important element. The following on the analogy of "Box Foundation analogy" interaction-based design formulas for determining the bending moment and axial force of the transfer beams that support the in-plane loaded shear walls.

Water Reuse: Potential for Expanding the Nation's Water Supply Through Reuse of Municipal Wastewater
Author: Committee on the Assessment of Water Reuse & National Research Council | Size: 10.89 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: National Academies Press | Year: July 17, 2012 | pages: 262 | ISBN: 0309257492 ISBN-13: 978-0309257497
Expanding water reuse--the use of treated wastewater for beneficial purposes including irrigation, industrial uses, and drinking water augmentation--could significantly increase the nation's total available water resources. Water Reuse presents a portfolio of treatment options available to mitigate water quality issues in reclaimed water along with new analysis suggesting that the risk of exposure to certain microbial and chemical contaminants from drinking reclaimed water does not appear to be any higher than the risk experienced in at least some current drinking water treatment systems, and may be orders of magnitude lower. This report recommends adjustments to the federal regulatory framework that could enhance public health protection for both planned and unplanned (or de facto) reuse and increase public confidence in water reuse.
