ACI 549-6R-20: Guide to Design and Construction of Externally Bonded Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) and Steel-Reinforced Grout (SRG) Systems for Repair and Strengthening Masonry
This guide addresses the use of externally bonded (EB) fabricreinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) and steel-reinforced grout (SRG) systems for repair and strengthening of masonry structures. FRCM and SRG are composite materials composed of a reinforcement in the form of open fabric bonded on the masonry surface through an inorganic matrix. In particular, the structural reinforcement for FRCM consists of an open grid fabric of continuous fibers made of carbon, alkali-resistant (AR) glass, polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO), aramid, or basalt fibers, while SRG systems use steel cords of twisted wires arranged to form a unidirectional fabric. The matrixes are typically based on combinations of portland cement, silica fume, and fly ash as the binder (cement-based), or on natural hydraulic lime (lime-based), or even on geopolymer (geopolymer-based). FRCM and SRG systems represent an alternative to traditional strengthening techniques such as steel tie rods, section enlargement, or even fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems. FRCM and SRG systems can be used for various structural purposes—for example, they are used to: 1) increase the loadbearing capacity of structural members; 2) improve the seismic capacity of buildings; 3) counteract specific incipient or already developed damage; 4) limit opening of cracks; and 5) strengthen local weaknesses. Based on experimental research, analytical work, and field applications, this guide provides the recommendations for the design and structural evaluation of FRCM and SRG systems according to both American and European existing regulations and guidelines.

Learn from the personal experience and insights of leading earthquake engineering specialists as they examine the lessons from disasters of the last 30 years and propose a path to earthquake safety worldwide
Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes?: Building for Safety in Seismic Areas delivers an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the key lessons taught by building failures during earthquakes around the world. The book uses empirical evidence to describe the successes of earthquake engineering and disaster preparedness, as well as the failures that may have had tragic consequences.
Readers will learn what makes buildings in earthquake zones vulnerable, what can be done to design, build and maintain those buildings to reduce or eliminate that vulnerability, and what can be done to protect building occupants. Those who are responsible for the lives and safety of building occupants and visitors - architects, designers, engineers, and building owners or managers - will learn how to provide adequate safety in earthquake zones. The text offers useful and accessible answers to anyone interested in natural disasters generally and those who have specific concerns about the impact of earthquakes on the built environment.
Readers will benefit from the inclusion of:
A thorough introduction to how buildings have behaved in earthquakes, including a description of the world’s most lethal earthquakes and the fatality trend over time
An exploration of how buildings are constructed around the world, including considerations of the impact of climate and seismicity on home design
A discussion of what happens during an earthquake, including the types and levels of ground motion, landslides, tsunamis, and sequential effects, and how different types of buildings tend to behave in response to those phenomena
What different stakeholders can do to improve the earthquake safety of their buildings
The owners and managers of buildings in earthquake zones and those responsible for the safety of people who occupy or visit them will find Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes? Building for Safety in Seismic Areas essential reading, as will all architects, designers and engineers who design or refurbish buildings in earthquake zones.

This hands on exercise book starts with an overview of the Python 3.x language. You’ll learn the basic constructs of this powerful, easy to learn language for automating your ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tasks. You’ll also learn how to install, configure, and write scripts using the popular PyCharm development environment. We’ll then dive into the details of the ArcGIS Pro arcpy module by learning how to execute geoprocessing tools from your scripts. From there you’ll learn how to manage project and layer files, and manage the data within those files. You’ll discover how to programmatically add, insert, remove, and move layers in table of contents. Next, you’ll learn how to apply symbology and update properties of layers, work with 2D and 3D display properties, and manage layouts. You’ll also learn how to automate map production through the use of map series functionality, formerly called map books. The later part of the books covers attribute and spatial queries, and the creation of selection sets for feature classes and tables along with the arcpy data access module for insert, updating, and deleting data from feature classes and tables. Finally, we’ll close the book by discovering how you can create your own custom geoprocessing tools using custom toolboxes with ArcGIS Pro and Python.

Pre-stressed Concrete Manual Computer Applications : Computer Applications on SAP200, ETABS and SAFE
Author(s)/Editor(s): Ibrahim Arman | Size: 20 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Year: August 16, 2020 | pages: 276
This manual is designed as a reference for computer applications in the Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures. The user of this manual must have knowledge of design of reinforced concrete elements for flexure, shear, axial and torsion. In addition, the user must have the basic principles of beam, slab and column design. Of course, the design of reinforced concrete structures follows the structural analysis, so the user must have knowledge in statics, mechanics of materials and structural analysis.
This manual gives the basic principles of using the computer software SAP2000 v20.0.0, ETABS 2016 v16.2.1 and SAFE 2016 of CSI (Computers and Structures Incorporation) for design of prestressed concrete members; beams and slabs. Different structures are introduced for analysis and design through the units of this manual.
This manual is very valuable for design engineers in the design industry, as it contains practical examples on the analysis and design of prestressed concrete beams, one-way slabs and two-way slabs.
