Bringing together in one volume the latest research and information, this book provides a detailed guide to the selection and use of aggregates in concrete. After an introduction defining the purpose and role of aggregates in concrete, the authors present an overview of aggregate sources and production techniques, followed by a detailed study of their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. This knowledge is then applied to the use of aggregates in both plastic and hardened concretes, and in the overall mix design. Special aggregates and their applications are discussed in detail, as are the current main specifications, standards and tests.

Seismic Loads: Guide to the Seismic Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05 provides authoritative explanations of the seismic provisions offered in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-05. With clear, concise language Seismic Loads illustrates the key concepts and guides structural engineers in applying the most current thinking in this rapidly changing discipline into the design of new structures. The book offers more than 20 detailed examples that analyze specific provisions of the standard and demonstrate the application of the provision in evaluating the seismic loading requirements for building structures. The examples guide structural engineers through the process of assessing conditions such as: identifying occupancy, importance, and seismic design categories, selecting a structural system, and analyzing the seismic requirements. Topics include building irregularities, structural analysis, system forces, and load factors, as well as drift and P-delta effects. Seismic Loads includes a frequently asked questions section and three appendixes with supplementary material.

This book provides a real-world, applications-oriented introduction to engineering hydrology with an emphasis on design. Coverage includes the important hydrologic processes (highlighting watersheds), the effects of land use change (including its detection and modeling), and the ethics and professionalism of a practicing hydrologist. For professionals in civil engineering, geology, environmental science, forestry, or geography who need a good reference on hydrologic analysis and design.

Uses state-of-the-art computer technology to formulate displacement method with matrix algebra. Facilitates analysis of structural dynamics and applications to earthquake engineering and UBC and IBC seismic building codes.

GeoStru Formula 2019.7.3.425 [Size: 18.1 MB] ... Geological and Geotechnical formulas – Geostru Formula software includes a set of very broad topics. With Geostru Formula we created a practical and support software tool for all professionals in the geological and geotechnical field. GeoStru Formula solves different kinds of problems, for example, if you need to know the monodimensional consolidation coefficients. Geostru Formula looks for them in the integrated database or provides correlations to calculate them. In slope stability it is necessary to calculate the stability of an infinite slope? Or you need to get the special geotechnical parameters from in situ tests?. All this and more is included in Geostru Formula software with over 100 correlations available in extended form with formulas and graphs for comparison, dozens of formulas and a database containing tens of geotechnical properties and hundreds of materials. The software consists of a vast collection of correlations for: Geotechnical parameters such as cohesion and shear resistance angle, correlations between properties, soil index. + Surveys and soil tests: SPT, CPT, DMT. + Earth pressure: Rest, Active, Passive under static and dynamic conditions. + Consolidation parameters + Rock mechanics. + Permeability tests. + Stability of slopes. The integrated soil database constitutes a rich library of soil geotechnical characteristics. The database is user customizable, but shared with the central GEOSTRU database. Each time it is integrated with the new elements our server send a notification and transfers it to the end user. The transfer system is not limited to the replacement of files, but integrates the user’s own database.

MATLAB is an indispensable asset for scientists, researchers, and engineers. The richness of the MATLAB computational environment combined with an integrated development environment (IDE) and straightforward interface, toolkits, and simulation and modeling capabilities, creates a research and development tool that has no equal. From quick code prototyping to full blown deployable applications, MATLAB stands as a defacto development language and environment serving the technical needs of a wide range of users. As a collection of diverse applications, each book chapter presents a novel application and use of MATLAB for a specific result.
