fast guide to solving common design problems in building foundations, now in a new edition. Includes new material on settlements, soil modification, pole foundations, braced excavations, waterfront foundations, and slope stabilization. Written for those without full training as structural or design engineers, covering all the basics, including soil mechanics, design of common foundation elements, and the relations between building and foundation design, all supported by extensive illustrations. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, being generally restricted to simple algebra, plane geometry, and plane trigonometry.

From the Back Cover
Maximize Efficiency, Output, and Quality with RCM
RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) can save millions of dollars in repair and equipment failure costs -- but it can be difficult to implement without proper guidance. Written by an expert with more than thirty years' experience, this resource offers innovative approaches and practical advice to simplify and facilitate the introduction and management of the RCM process.
Measurable, real-world, benefits:
Maximize maintenance operations
Improve accuracy and organization of reliability data
Decrease maintenance costs
Enhance manufacturing operations
Reduce work order backlog
With this guide, readers will be able to implement a maintenance strategy that will maximize their plant and equipment life-cycle while increasing safety, quality, and output. Readers will find clear, real-world coverage of essential RCM topics such as:
Single vs. multiple failure analysis
Cost considerations
Hidden failures
Critical components
Run-to-failure
An explanation of redundant, standby, and backup functions
Develop an effective, dollar-saving maintenance strategy: Why RCM Has Been So Difficult to Implement; RCM: The Next Plateau – Fundamental RCM; Classical RCM Implementation Made Simple; The Implementation Process; Typical Examples of "Golden Nuggets"; A RCM Living Program.
About the Author
Neil Bloom received his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Miami, where he also minored in economics. He has a unique depth of experience as a practitioner of RCM and preventive maintenance programs having worked in close association for over 30 years with the two leading-edge federal agencies most responsible for reliability and safety, namely the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). His RCM experience in commercial aviation and nuclear power has been in both Engineering and Maintenance, where the RCM process meets its most formidable challenges for successful implementation. RCM can be a powerful reliability tool but unfortunately, and unjustly, it has become what is greatly perceived as a complex, difficult, and costly undertaking. As a result, the author has introduced innovative concepts allowing the classical RCM process to reach a new plateau for the average layperson, thusly making the entire process less daunting, more straightforward and simpler. He explains what can and what cannot be done - what works and what doesn’t work - he understands where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. Mr. Bloom has been a guest speaker on RCM at national and international conferences including the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Nuclear Society (ANS), the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) which is operated by the University of Chicago for the Department of Energy (DOE), the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria.

Due to the presence of sharp stress gradients, traditional finite element analysis using uniform meshes for the solution of shear lag problems for thin-walled structures is inefficient and will result in inaccurate values of effective breadth ratio. By using the adaptive finite element analysis, it is possible to obtain results with predetermined accuracy with a minimum amount of computational cost. An adaptive finite element analysis procedure is used to deal with the problem of shear lag effects of plated structures with arbitrary dimensions and geometry. This study consists of two parts. In Part 1 of the study, shear lag effects in simple plated structures, such as straight rectangular, single-cell box girders are studied. In Part 2 of the study, the adaptive refinement procedure will be extended to the shear lag analysis of complex plated structures such as core walls with openings, multi-cell box girders and box girders with curve flanges.

The adaptivefiniteelementanalysis procedure proposed in Part 1 of this study is employed to solve shear lag problems for complex plated structures with more general and complex geometries, including core walls with openings, multi-cell box girders and box girders with curved flanges. By using the adaptivefiniteelementmethod, parametric studies were carried out to investigate the influence of some key geometrical parameters on the shear lag effect for these types of structure. In addition, it is found that the adaptivefiniteelementmethod is a convenient tool for the shear laganalysis of structures with complicated geometry and multiple loading conditions, and could be used in day-to-day analyses.

A new method for the determination of membrane forces acting on box girder bridges considering shear lag effect is proposed in this paper. A box girder is divided into four thin plate elements: top plate, bottom plate, cantilever and web. Using the equilibrium conditions of the plates, the membrane force equation for each plate element is established. The analytical formulas for calculating the membrane normal, transverse and shear forces of each plate element considering shear lag effect are derived. The proposed method is easy to implement in the design of thin-walled box girders considering shear lag effect.
Through examples using the high order finite strip element method and the experiment, the results obtained by the proposed method are examined and the accuracy of the proposed method is verified. The discussions on the shear lag effect on the membrane forces acting on cantilever box girders are given considering the variations of span to width ratio, width to height ratio and various loading conditions.

This European Standard specifies procedures for the chemical analysis of aggregates. It specifies the reference procedures and, in certain cases, an alternative method which can be considered as giving equivalent results.
Unless otherwise stated, the test methods specified in this standard may be used for factory production control, for audit tests or for type tests.
This standard describes the reference methods used for type testing and in cases of dispute (and alternatives methods) for chemical analyses of aggregates. For the purpose of type testing and in cases of dispute only the reference method should be used. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
