This publication contains a comprehensive summary of the seismic detailing requirements contained in Chapter 21 of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (318-05) and Commentary (318R-05), which is adopted by reference in the 2006 International Building Code. Numerous tables and figures explain and illustrate the provisions for buildings located in regions of moderate and high seismic risk including: flexural members of special moment frames, special moment frame members subjected to bending and axial load, joints of special moment frames and others.

This book compiles the first part of contributions to the China-Europe Conference on Geotechnical Engineering held 13.-16. August 2016 in Vienna, Austria. About 400 papers from 35 countries cover virtually all areas of geotechnical engineering and make this conference a truly international event. The contributions are grouped into thirteen special sessions and provide an overview of the geoengineering research and practice in China, Europe and the world: - Constitutive model - Micro-macro relationship - Numerical simulation - Laboratory testing - Geotechnical monitoring, instrumentation and field test - Foundation engineering - Underground construction - Environmental geotechnics - New geomaterials and ground improvement - Cold regions geotechnical engineering - Geohazards - risk assessment, mitigation and prevention - Unsaturated soils and energy geotechnics - Geotechnics in transportation, structural and hydraulic Engineering.

Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10, provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, earthquake, and wind loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. This Standard, a revision of ASCE/SEI 7-05, offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six. The Standard contains new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors, so that the loads are not affected, and updates the seismic loads with new risk-targeted seismic maps. The snow, live, and atmospheric icing provisions are updated as well. In addition, the Standard includes a detailed Commentary with explanatory and supplementary information designed to assist building code committees and regulatory authorities. The third printing of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10 incorporates errata and includes Supplement 1. In addition, the seismic commentary has been expanded and completely revised. Standard ASCE/SEI 7 is an integral part of building codes in the United States. Many of the load provisions are substantially adopted by reference in the International Building Code and the NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find the structural load requirements essential to their practice. Note: Purchasers of the first and second printings of this Standard 7-10 can download the errata and Supplement 1. The expanded seismic commentary can be downloaded from the ASCE Library (free with registration).

Computational Hydraulics introduces the concept of modeling and the contribution of numerical methods and numerical analysis to modeling. It provides a concise and comprehensive description of the basic hydraulic principles, and the problems addressed by these principles in the aquatic environment. Flow equations, analytical and numerical solutions are included. The necessary steps for building and applying numerical methods in hydraulics comprise the core of the book and this is followed by two different example applications of computational hydraulics: river systems and water quality modelling of lakes and rivers. The theory and exercises included in the book promote learning of concepts within academic environments. Computational Hydraulics is intended for under-graduate and graduate students, researchers, members of governmental and non-governmental agencies and professionals involved in management of the water related problems.
