Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to update the ground snow loads for the state of Idaho. The previous study (Taheri 1985) used the snow data up to 1983. The stations of the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), formerly the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), as well as the National Weather Services (NWS) Coop stations, were analyzed for the entire State of Idaho. Additional data from neighboring states were also analyzed to ensure that the snow load mapping considers stations near the borders of Idaho. The NRCS provides two types of stations: the Snow Courses and the SNOwpack TELemetry (SNOTEL) stations. Both types of stations provide continuous monitoring of the snow-water equivalent in inches of water for each location. The NWS Coop stations measure snow depth in inches. The Log Pearson Type III (LP3) is an extreme-value distribution that is used to obtain the 50-year mean recurrence interval (MRI) values; it is the same approach that was used in the Idaho 1985 study. The 50-year MRI values were selected for the ground snow loads. For the NRCS stations, the 50-year snow-water equivalent is the snow load. For the NWS Coop stations, the 50-year snow depth is converted to the ground snow load using the Rocky Mountain Conversion Density (RMCD) (Sack 1986). Subsequently, the ground snow load of each station is divided by its elevation in feet to provide the normalized ground snow load (NGSL). The NGSLs were mapped using ArcGIS to provide a statewide contour map. The NGSL was used because it was previously found to be the best method of mapping the information (Rusten 1976). This approach is also used for the States of Washington and Montana. The Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) method within ArcGIS was found to give the most accurate results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timber, steel, and concrete are common engineering materials used in structural design. Material choice depends upon the type of structure, availability of material, and the preference of the designer. The design practices the code requirements of each material are very different. In this updated edition, the elemental designs of individual components of each material are presented, together with theory of structures essential for the design. Numerous examples of complete structural designs have been included. A comprehensive database comprising materials properties, section properties, specifications, and design aids, has been included to make this essential reading.

Download or read book Big Trouble written by J. Anthony Lukas and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as "toweringly important" (Baltimore Sun), "a work of scrupulous and significant reportage" (E. L. Doctorow), and "an unforgettable historical drama" (Chicago Sun-Times), Big Trouble brings to life the astonishing case that ultimately engaged President Theodore Roosevelt, Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the politics and passions of an entire nation at century's turn. After Idaho's former governor is blown up by a bomb at his garden gate at Christmastime 1905, America's most celebrated detective, Pinkerton James McParland, takes over the investigation. His daringly executed plan to kidnap the radical union leader "Big Bill" Haywood from Colorado to stand trial in Idaho sets the stage for a memorable courtroom confrontation between the flamboyant prosecutor, progressive senator William Borah, and the young defender of the dispossessed, Clarence Darrow. Big Trouble captures the tumultuous first decade of the twentieth century, when capital and labor, particularly in the raw, acquisitive West, were pitted against each other in something close to class war. Lukas paints a vivid portrait of a time and place in which actress Ethel Barrymore, baseball phenom Walter Johnson, and editor William Allen White jostled with railroad magnate E. H. Harriman, socialist Eugene V. Debs, gunslinger Charlie Siringo, and Operative 21, the intrepid Pinkerton agent who infiltrated Darrow's defense team. This is a grand narrative of the United States as it charged, full of hope and trepidation, into the twentieth century.
