Despite mining's multidimensional role in the history of Utah since Euro-american settlement, there has never been a book that surveyed and contextualized its impact. From the Ground Up fill that gap with a collection of essays by leading Utah historians and geologists. Essays here address the geology of the state, the economic history of mining in Utah, and the lore of mines and miners. Additionally, the book reviews a handul of particularly significant mineral industries---saline, coal, uranium, and beryllium---and surveys important hard-rock mining regions of the state.

This book provides a systematic, modern introduction to solid mechanics that is carefully motivated by realistic Engineering applications. Based on 25 years of teaching experience, Raymond Parnes uses a wealth of examples and a rich set of problems to build the reader's understanding of the scientific principles, without requiring 'higher mathematics'.
Highlights of the book include
* The use of modern SI units throughout
* A thorough presentation of the subject stressing basic unifying concepts
* Comprehensive coverage, including topics such as the behaviour of materials on a phenomenological level.
* Over 600 problems, many of which are designed for solving with MATLAB, MAPLE or MATHEMATICA.
Solid Mechanics in Engineering is designed for 2-semester courses in Solid Mechanics or Strength of Materials taken by students in Mechanical, Civil or Aeronautical Engineering and Materials Science and may also be used for a first-year graduate program.

All,
I'm looking for the folllowing handbook :
HB 28-1997 : The design of residential slabs and footings
Note this Handbook provides information and photographs to reliably identify the characteristics of a house or building site to enable a footing system to be designed. This Handbook is a self contained explanatory text though many references are made to AS 2870-1996, Residential slabs and footings Construction. The Handbook takes into account footings system alternatives, house loading; displacement sensitivity, design philosophy, soil structure interaction and house building practice.
If you have the above handbook please share it with us.
Seismic retrofitting of structures: Strategies and collection of examples in Switzerland
Author: N.A. | Size: 4.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Federal Office for the Environment FOEN | Year: 2008 | pages: 84 | ISBN: N.A.
This publication provides a detailed insight in the problematic of the seismic retrofitting of existing structures. The presentation of 24 examples of seismic retrofitting projects in Switzerland illustrates the different possible strategies and gives suggestions and decision criteria on how to handle the complex problem of the seismic safety of existing structures. The publication is primarily aimed at structural engineers, but architects, building owners and homeowners will also find valuable information on the management of earthquake risk for existing structures.

Author: Matthew L. Camilleri | Size: 3.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Nova Science Publishers | Year: 2010 | pages: 135 | ISBN: 1616689870
Structural analysis comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and predict the behaviour of structures. This book gathers and presents current research in the field of structural analysis across a broad spectrum of topics. Discussions in this compilation include: evaluating seismic safety using non-linear structural analysis; a structural analysis of how art is made; the structure and function of vegetal ecosystems in semiarid regions of North-eastern Mexico; using a covariance structural analysis as a method for supporting efforts to improve employee motivation; and, a method for solving linear algebraic equation sets in FE analysis software.

Following the same format as the highly successful Volume 1, Volume 2 applies the principles of deformation to the analysis of folds and fractures. There are 13 sessions, each providing 3 hours of practical work and problems. The problems are well-illustrated with photographs and drawings, and the solutions are discussed in detail. All the sessions are drawn from actual geological examples and are extensively illustrated with photographs taken in the field and with micrographs, giving students a feeling for what actually occurs in nature.
