Structural Analysis Fundamentals presents fundamental procedures of structural analysis, necessary for teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and structural design practice. It applies linear analysis of structures of all types, including beams, plane and space trusses, plane and space frames, plane and eccentric grids, plates and shells, and assemblage of finite-elements. It also treats plastic and time-dependent responses of structures to static loading, as well as dynamic analysis of structures and their response to earthquakes. Geometric nonlinearity in analysis of cable nets and membranes are examined.
This is an ideal text for basic and advanced material for use in undergraduate and higher courses. A companion set of computer programs assist in a thorough understanding and application of analysis procedures. The authors provide a special program for each structural system or each procedure. Unlike commercial software, the user can apply any program of the set without a manual or training period. Students, lecturers and engineers internationally employ the procedures presented in in this text and its companion website.

Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground
Author(s)/Editor(s): Mohammed Z.E.B. Elshafie, Giulia M.B. Viggiani, Robert J. Mair | Size: 102 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CRC Press , Cambridge, UK | Year: 2021 | pages: 877 | ISBN: 9780429321559
Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground comprises a collection of 112 papers, four general reports on the symposium themes, the Fujita Lecture, three Special Lectures and the Bright Spark Lecture presented at the Tenth International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground, held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, 27-29 June 2022.
The symposium is the latest in a series which began in New Delhi in 1994, and was followed by symposia in London (1996), Tokyo (1999), Toulouse (2002), Amsterdam (2005), Shanghai (2008), Rome (2011), Seoul (2014) and Sao Paulo (2017). This was organised by the Geotechnical Research Group at the University of Cambridge, under the auspices of the Technical Committee TC204 of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).
Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground includes contributions from more than 25 countries on research, design and construction of underground works in soft ground. The contributions cover:
Field case studies
Sensing technologies and monitoring for underground construction in soft ground
Physical and numerical modelling of tunnels and deep excavations in soft ground
Seismic response of underground infrastructure in soft ground
Design and application of ground improvement for underground construction
Ground movements, interaction with existing structures and mitigation measures
The general reports give an overview of the papers submitted to the symposium, covered in four technical sessions. The proceedings include the written version of the five invited lectures covering topics ranging from developments in geotechnical aspects of underground construction, tunnelling and groundwater interaction (short and long-term effects), the influence of earth pressure balance shield tunnelling on pre-convergence and segmental liner loading (field observations, modelling and implications on design).
Similar to previous editions, Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground represents a valuable source of reference on the current practice of analysis, design, and construction of tunnels and deep excavations in soft ground. The book is particularly aimed at academics and professionals interested in geotechnical and underground engineering.

Size: 40 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: National Fire Protection Association | Year: 2021 | pages: 677 | ISBN: NFPA 5000-21
Be prepared to help protect lives and property from new hazards in the built environment with NFPA 5000®, 2021 edition.
In the ever-evolving building and construction industry, it's critical to keep pace with the latest requirements for minimizing injuries and safeguarding life, health, property, and public welfare. NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code®, offers provisions for regulating and controlling the permitting, design, construction, quality of materials, and use, occupancy, and location of buildings, structures, and specific equipment.
Created to fill the gap in the code regime for a building code developed using American National Standards Institute procedures, NFPA 5000 is a vital resource for architects, engineers, authorities having jurisdiction, contractors, building owners and developers, multinational companies, and anyone with responsibilities for safety in the built environment. The code addresses natural and human-made dangers such as fire, flood, earthquake, wind, and related natural hazards and environmental concerns.
The 2021 edition of the Building Construction and Safety Code provides the information you need to help improve public safety and compliance today and into the future.
NFPA 5000 is updated in response to, and, in some cases, in anticipation of, emerging technologies or as society looks to code developers to address new hazards. The 2021 edition features updates based on emerging trends and safety concerns, such as security, new building materials, and exterior wall testing.
Critical changes include:
New Chapter 56 on security systems and features to outline security requirements for the built environment with references to NFPA 730, NFPA 731, and NFPA 914. The chapters on educational occupancies and daycare occupancies also require the use of this new chapter.
Revisions to reaffirm wind loads and design loads based on ASCE 7-16 as well as the section on vegetative roof systems
Significant updates to the building height/area restrictions and testing requirements for specific materials
New options, height increases, and area increases for mass timber construction
Revisions to testing requirements and height limitations in the sections on light-transmitting plastic wall panels and metal composite materials (MCM)
Updates to the requirements for fire-retardant-treated wood
Changes to align with updates in referenced concrete standards and seismic standards
Reference added to NFPA 855 in Chapter 55 relating to energy storage systems
Inclusion of criteria for mass notification risk assessments
Updated provisions in Chapter 18 specifying all daycare occupancies be sprinklered
New requirements for low-frequency alarm signals in sleeping rooms of hotels, dormitories, and apartment buildings per NFPA 72®

The Book "Construction, Maintenance, Restoration and Rehabllltatlon of Highway Bridges" has
been written for the benefit of bridge engineers associated with the construction. maintenance. restoration
and rehabilitation of bridges. The engineering students having a special subject on bridge engineering or
construction technology will also find the book very useful.
The book contains six chapters on bridge construction including durability considerations. two chapters on
bridge inspection and maintenance and seven chapters on failure and restoration of bridges as well as
rehabilitation of distressed bridges. The appendices contain proforma for original bridge report. proforma for
routine inspection and proforma for principal/detailed inspection.
To make the subject easily understandable, sketches have been profusely presented. Moreover. photographs
of actual construction, failure. restoration and rehabilitation of various Indian bridges have been included
in the book. Case studies have been reported for 25 actual bridges which are put to service after either
restoration or rehabilitation or reconstruction when they became unserviceable fully or partly due to failure
of or distress in bridge components. The problems encountered and the solutions adopted for these bridges
will immensely help the departmental engineers. consultants and contractors who might be faced with
similar problems.
