Design, Analysis, and Seismic Performance of a Hypothetical Seismically Isolated Bridge on Legacy Highway
Author: Keri L. Ryan & Brian Richins | Size: 3.515 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Utah Department of Transportation Research Division | Year: 2011 | pages: 179
In this project, we examine the use of seismic isolation as an alternative to conventional approaches to achieve high seismic performance in typical highway bridges. A highway bridge designed and built in 2006 by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) was chosen as a case study. This three-span, pre-stressed concrete girder bridge is located on State Street in Farmington, Utah, and crosses Legacy Highway. In this report, we present 1) proposed configuration changes to incorporate seismic isolation into the Legacy Bridge; 2) proposed modified designs of the columns and foundation system that provide significant savings in materials and construction costs; and 3) example designs for three different types of isolation devices available in the United States.

Statistical Mechanics. Time-Dependent Processes by Bruce J. Berne
Author: Bruce J. Berne | Size: 3.28 MB | Format:DjVu | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Springer | Year: July 1, 1977 | pages: 362 | ISBN: 0306335069
Statistical mechanics brings together under one roof a broad spectrum of mathematical techniques. The aim of these volumes is to provide a didactic treatment of those techniques that are most useful for the study of problems of current interest to theoretical chemists. The emphasis throughout is on the techniques themselves and not on reviewing the enormous literature in statistical mechanics.

Leading physical chemist David Chandler takes a new approach to statistical mechanics to provide the only introductory-level work on the modern topics of renormalization group theory, Monte Carlo simulations, time correlation functions, and liquid structure. The author provides compact summaries of the fundamentals of this branch of physics and discussions of many of its traditional elementary applications, interspersed with over 150 exercises and microcomputer programs.

Selecting and bringing together matter provided by specialists, this project offers comprehensive information on particular cases of heat exchangers. The selection was guided by actual and future demands of applied research and industry, mainly focusing on the efficient use and conversion energy in changing environment. Beside the questions of thermodynamic basics, the book addresses several important issues, such as conceptions, design, operations, fouling and cleaning of heat exchangers. It includes also storage of thermal energy and geothermal energy use, directly or by application of heat pumps. The contributions are thematically grouped in sections and the content of each section is introduced by summarising the main objectives of the encompassed chapters. The book is not necessarily intended to be an elementary source of the knowledge in the area it covers, but rather a mentor while pursuing detailed solutions of specific technical problems which face engineers and technicians engaged in research and development in the fields of heat transfer and heat exchangers.

This text is a comprehensive, stand alone reference for project management scheduling. It features a unique combination of principles/fundamentals of scheduling and project management along with practical applications and tutorials of the 4 most common scheduling software programs–Microsoft Project, Primavera Project Planner (P3), SureTrak, P6 Project Manager and Contractor. Having scheduling information and software instructions in one book obviates the need for two texts, and the exercises and examples in the scheduling portion are tied to the same exercises in the software portions.

Hi fellow CivilEAns,
I have not been so active for quite some time now. The problem is that I am down here in Africa and internet services are a big issue. Fortunately, we are catching up and hopefully I will be of help again to the forum, esp in the problems section. Thanks to the moderators, the donors, the Admin in particular and ALL for keeping the forum alive and on top! I miss the discussions and their fruits a lot.

Abstract Outlines the principles underlying the successful use of concrete construction in the Arabian Peninsula. The extreme environment, and the geological and geomorphological conditions, are discussed in relation to these principles. Provides guidance on the materials available. Covers site operations and guidance on mix design. Also includes data on local climate and formwork pressures.
History Published in collaboration with CIRIA and is also known as CIRIA Publication C577. Edited by Mike Walker. Supersedes Special Publication 31, 'Guide to concrete construction in the Gulf region' (1984).
