Research on the topic of steel frames with semi-rigid connections has been conducted over the past 10 years. With the publication of the 2005 AISC specifications as well as Eurocode 3, practical implementation of the use of PR connections in structural systems is now a real possibility. The Semi-rigid Connections Handbook presents a simple and comprehensive introduction that will help design practitioners implement these new developments into engineering practice. Beginning with a discussion of the new specifications and classifications of these connections, the authors go on to show, on the basis of the collected connections database, practical mathematical models for computer implementation and provide case studies on these frames including composite construction. With the help of the user-friendly list of collected data in tabular form with illustrative figures, information on semi-rigid connections is now available in a single publication and may ultimately result in its wide-spread usage among practitioners.
Key Features:
--Introduces the 2005 AISC specifications and the new Eurocode 3 on semi-rigid construction
--Includes more than 900 pages of semi-rigid connection test data in tabular form with figures
--Provides connection models for analysis and design with case studies
--Includes the recent development of steel-concrete composite connections with case studies
--WAV offers updated connection data, the Steel Connection Data Bank (SCDB) program, references, and a link to the semi-rigid website at the Muroran Institute of Technology (MIT), Japan

This volume comprises the summaries of contributed papers presented at Railways 2012: The First International Conference on Railway Technology: Research, Development and Maintenance held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, 18-20 April 2012. The full papers from the conference are available on this CD-ROM.
The Railways 2012 conference, organised by Civil-Comp Press, follows on from the very successful special sessions held on railway technology over the last few years in the Civil-Comp conference series. The purpose of this conference is to provide opportunities for scientists and engineers to meet and to discuss current research, new concepts and to establish opportunities for future collaborations in all aspects of railway technology.

A useful book that should improve your knowledge of barrier noise control. It has the potential to inspire, to encourage you to develop barriers that are both effective and attractive. Even if you don't have time to read the text, you will gain many ideas merely by looking at the pictures.
Sound insulation is an important aspect of building performance. This book is a comprehensive guide to sound and vibration theory and its application to the measurement and prediction of sound insulation in buildings. It enables the reader to tackle a wide range of issues relating to sound insulation during the design and construction stages of a building, and to solve problems in existing buildings. The book has been written for engineers, consultants, building designers, students in acoustics, researchers and those involved in the manufacture and design of building products. Key aspects are that it:
* Explains the fundamental theory using examples that show its direct application to buildings
* Guides the reader through the links between measurement and theory
* Explains concepts that are important for the application, interpretation and understanding of guidance documents, test reports, product data sheets, published papers, regulations and Standards
* Makes direct reference to ISO and EN Standards on sound insulation
* Contains a large number of illustrations showing measurements, predictions and example calculations for quick reference
Carl Hopkins previously worked on building acoustics and environmental noise at the Building Research Establishment. During this time he was involved with sound insulation in research, consultancy, standardization, and building regulations as well as being an advisory on acoustics to government departments. He is currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of Liverpool within the Acoustics Research Unit of the School of Architecture.
* Guides the reader through the links between measurement and theory
* Makes direct reference to ISO and EN Standards on sound insulation.
* Contains a large number of illustrations showing measurements, predictions and example calculations for quick reference.
