This series comprises works on subjects of topical interest in the broad field of concrete technology. Written or edited by international authorities, the books should appeal to engineers, consultants, academics, students and others involved in this area. This volume provides a state-of-the-art perspective on concrete bridge design, construction and maintenance. The author focuses on the concepts not usually covered in standard works such as, the appreciation of aesthetic form and the protection of the natural environment. These are subjects which play an important part in the understanding of the design and construction of concrete bridges but which are very often overlooked. The text provides new information on the vital topics of inspection, testing, assessment and rapair and offers an international perspective, providing case studies from around the world. It takes into account recent amendments in BS5400 and also provides an historical summary of bridge building. It is aimed at practising engineers in the design and construction industry, architects and professionals involved with the design and construction industries.

Focusing exclusively on residential work, Estimating for Residential Construction, 2E provides a very visual, reader-friendly introduction to processes as it details the steps involved in accurately preparing a cost estimate. Packed with examples, the book clearly explains how to price excavation and site work, concrete, carpentry, masonry, plumbing, heating, and electrical work, as well as the general expenses and sub-trade work. It also covers the impact of green building practices and effective estimating "shortcuts".

This publication contains comprehensive information on the design and detailing requirements for concrete tanks subjected to earthquake forces. The earthquake forces are computed in accordance with a variety of codes, including the 2000 International Building Code. Requirements of ACI 350.3/350.3R-01, Seismic Design of Liquid-Containing Concrete Structures and Commentary, are also explained and illustrated with worked-out design examples for rectangular and circular tanks. 

Table of Contents: Introduction + General + Earthquake Design Loads + Modeling and Analysis + Design of Components + Detailing + Example (Rectangular Tank) + Example 2 (Circular Tank)

This fourth edition of the text incorporates changes and additions to the major codes concerning the use of wood in building design. The focus of the new sections of the text will be on Allowable Stress Design (ASD). The leading wood design reference includes the latest codes and specifications. Continuing the sterling standard set by earlier editions, this indispensable reference demonstrates the best wood design procedures and techniques for safe handling of gravity and lateral loads. Thoroughly revised and updated through the 1997 Uniform Building Code and National Design Specifications, this best-seller gives practicing designers of wood structures, constructionprofessionals, and students clear step-by-step directions and illustrations for all relevant procedures. In these pages, you'll find: the latest changes to the major codes relating to the use of wood frames in building design, including the 1997 NDS and the 1997 UBC; illustrated design solutions, focusing on the latest Allowable Stress Design (ASD) methodology for timber structure design; updated information on wind and seismic loads; the latest techniques and code standards for the use of nailed and stapled connections; anchorages; and bolts, lag bolts, and timber connections; thorough analysis of thecharacteristics and design properties of glue-laminated timber and plywood; clear explanations and worked examples using near source factors and the reliability/redundancy factor. The leading reference in lateral force design, this fourth edition of Design of Wood Structures will be the sourcebook of choice for designers, engineers,architects, and other construction professionals for many years to come.

This book analyses the current knowledge on structural behaviour of RC elements and structures strengthened with composite materials (experimental, analytical and numerical approaches for EBR and NSM), particularly in relation to the above topics, and the comparison of the predictions of the current available codes/recommendations/guidelines with selected experimental results. The book shows possible critical issues (discrepancies, lacunae, relevant parameters, test procedures, etc.) related to current code predictions or to evaluate their reliability, in order to develop more uniform methods and basic rules for design and control of FRP strengthened RC structures.General problems/critical issues are clarified on the basis of the actual experiences, detect discrepancies in existing codes, lacunae in knowledge and, concerning these identified subjects, provide proposals for improvements. The book will help to contribute to promote and consolidate a more qualified and conscious approach towards rehabilitation and strengthening existing RC structures with composites and their possible monitoring.
