Ashoke Kumar Dasgupta ... 372 pages - Language:‎ English - Publisher: ‎CRC Press; (March, 2025).

This book aims to provide actual methods of calculation and standard details followed by professionals in industrial projects pertaining to Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) structures backed by practical design and standard details. It covers the engineering properties of soil and types of tests, different types of concrete grades, standard notes and codes, and workout examples of piles, foundations and superstructure elements. It provides all of the standard construction details, including reinforcement arrangements, generally used for RCC works in superstructures and foundations.

Features: Provides the strength design calculation for foundation and settlement analysis of the founding soil together + Discusses standard details of reinforced concrete joints and reinforcement placement + Describes suitable types of material and selection of structure according to the nature of the founding soil and service life of the plant + Explores standard construction details + Includes solved problems, design and workout examples as per Indian and US standards. This book is aimed at professionals in construction, structural and civil engineering.

George F. Limbrunner, Craig T. D'allaird ...552 pages - Language:‎ English - Publisher: Pearson; 7th edition (January, 2021).

Applied Statics and Strengths of Materials helps you master the basic principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials, so you can solve real-world problems. Using intermediate math rather than calculus, the text gives you the background in mechanics needed in civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial and manufacturing technologies fields. To reinforce concepts, rigorous example problems follow explanations of theory and end-of-chapter problems provide ample practice.

The 7th Edition has been completely updated and revised to meet current industry standards.

Krishnan Sathia ... 706 pages - Language: ‎English - Publisher: ‎Bentley Institute Press; (July, 2014).

Written for beginners and advanced users alike, Principles of Structural Analysis – Static and Dynamic Loads is part of a three volume series featuring Bentley's STAAD.Pro software. The series is not a how-to manual, but an illustration of the governing principles of engineering the software abides by, and the application of those principles within STAAD.Pro. Author Krishnan Sathia, a Bentley technical support analyst, utilizes his years of experience to fill the gap that exists between the engineering concepts taught in schools and universities, and the application of those concepts on real-world problems. By connecting theory to practice, the material in this series of books will remain relevant long after today's software has been updated.

Static and Dynamic Loads guides readers through the identification of primary load types in STAAD.Pro and their effects on a structure. This is followed by the principles involved in the generation of loads such as wind, snow, and seismic forces through the software environment and how those loads can be combined and re-used for various purposes. The last part of the book deals with determining the dynamic properties of structures and analyzing them for dynamic loads through response spectrum and time history loading. Filled with in-depth knowledge of structural analysis, high-quality illustrations and models, and applications through real-world problems, Principles of Structural Analysis – Static and Dynamic Loads is a must read for students, practicing professionals, and educators around the world.

Jonathan Knappett, R.F. Craig ... 654 pages - Language‏: ‎English - Publisher: CRC Press; 9th edition (October, 2019).

Craig’s Soil Mechanics continues to evolve and remain the definitive text for civil engineering students worldwide. It covers fundamental soil mechanics and its application in applied geotechnical engineering from A to Z and at the right depth for an undergraduate civil engineer, with sufficient extension material for supporting MSc level courses, and with practical examples and digital tools to make it a useful reference work for practising engineers.

This new edition now includes: Restructured chapters on foundations and earthworks, the latter including new material on working platforms and collapse of underground cavities (sinkhole formation). + New mobilised-stress-based deformation methods that can straightforwardly be used with both linear and non-linear soil stiffness models and field measurements of shear wave velocity, for serviceability limit state design. + Extended sets of correlations for making sensible first estimates of soil parameters, adding deformation-based parameters for broader coverage than the Eighth Edition. + Extended section on robust statistical selection of characteristic soil parameters. + Greater use of consolidation theory throughout in determining whether actions, processes and laboratory/in-situ tests are drained or undrained. + Extended chapter on in-situ testing, adding the Flat Dilatometer Test (DMT), and interpretation of consolidation parameters from CPTU and DMT testing. + An updated section on pile load testing. + Additional worked examples and end-of-chapter problems covering new material, with fully worked solutions for lecturers.

The electronic resources on the book’s companion website are developed further, with the addition of two new spreadsheet numerical analysis tools and improvement of existing tools from the Eighth Edition. Using these, readers can take real soil test data, interpret its mechanical properties and apply these to a range of common geotechnical design problems at ultimate and serviceability limiting states.
