Forensic Engineering - Proceedings of the Third Congress
The Proceedings of the Third Forensic Congress contains 55 papers on Forensic Engineering. Each paper applies engineering principles for investigating failures and performance problems of engineered facilities, and development of practices and procedures for reducing the number of future failures. The Congress was organized by the ASCE Technical Council on Forensic Engineering (TCFE) and held in San Diego, California, October 19-21, 2003. Papers are organized into the following Technical Session...

Wind Tunnel Testing of High-Rise Buildings
by Peter Irwin, Roy Denoon, and David Scott
Since the 1960s, wind tunnel testing has become a commonly used tool in the design of tall buildings. It was pioneered, in large part, during the design of the World Trade Center Towers in New York. Since those early days of wind engineering, wind tunnel testing techniques have developed in sophistication, but these techniques are not widely understood by the designers using the results. As a direct result, the CTBUH Wind Engineering Working Group was formed to develop a concise guide for the no...

The Severn Tunnel (Cambridge Library Collection - Technology)
by Thomas A. Walker
Costing at the time GBP1.8 million to complete, the Severn Tunnel was a Victorian engineering triumph, and for over a century it remained the longest rail tunnel in Britain. Construction had begun in 1873 but came to a standstill after the workings were inundated by water in 1879. An accomplished civil engineering contractor, Thomas Andrew Walker (1828-89) had worked on railways in Canada, Russia and Africa as well as on London's new underground lines; he was therefore well qualified to complete...
Earthquake-Actuated Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices (Standards, ANSI/ASCE/)
Connecting Walls and Floors (Good building guide: 29, #2)
This book covers structural dynamics from a theoretical and algorithmic approach. It covers systems with both single and multiple degrees-of-freedom. Numerous case studies are given to provide the reader with a deeper insight into the practicalities of the area, and the solutions to these case studies are given in terms of real-time and frequency in both geometric and modal spaces. Emphasis is also given to the subject of seismic loading. The text is based on many lectures on the subject of stru...
Practical Stress Analysis in Engineering Design (Mechanical Engineering) ()
by Ronald L Huston, Alexander J. Blake, and Harold Josephs
Updated and revised, this book presents the application of engineering design and analysis based on the approach of understanding the physical characteristics of a given problem and then modeling the important aspects of the physical system. This third edition provides coverage of new topics including contact stress analysis, singularity functions,
Timber is probably man's oldest building material, with a huge variety of form, and it remains an important material both in domestic and commercial construction. This manual provides a step-by-step approach to the detailing of timber, and deals with codes of practice from the UK, Europe, America and Russia. The manual provides practical and up-to-date information on various aspects of timber construction and covers the fundamentals of drawing and drafting practices, connections and fastening an...

Structural Synthesis in Precision Elasticity (Mechanical Engineering)
by Yakov M Tseytlin
The book consists of two main parts: structural synthesis methods for a precision elastic system, including effective approximations; and the application of precision functional elastic systems at reference and operating conditions. Each part provides theoretical basics and a large variety of examples of application and recommendations for parametric and structural optimization. A handbook as well as a textbook, it gives theoretical and practical tools to researchers, instrument system designers...
