Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual for civil and structural engineers aims to simplify as much as possible a complex subject which is often treated too theoretically, by explaining in a practical way how to provide uncomplicated, buildable and economical foundations. It explains simply, clearly and with numerous worked examples how economic foundation design is achieved. It deals with both straightforward and difficult sites, following the process through site investigation, foundation selection and, finally, design. The book: includes chapters on many aspects of foundation engineering that most other books avoid including filled and contaminated sites mining and other man-made conditions features a step-by-step procedure for the design of lightweight and flexible rafts, to fill the gap in guidance in this much neglected, yet extremely economical foundation solution concentrates on foundations for building structures rather than the larger civil engineering foundations includes many innovative and economic solutions developed and used by the authors’ practice but not often covered in other publications provides an extensive series of appendices as a valuable reference source.

Download or read book Structural Foundation Designers Manual written by William George Curtin and published by Blackwell Science Incorporated. This book was released on 1994 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on over 30 years intensive practical experience. As a designers' manual, its aim is to simplify as much as possible a complex subject which is often treated too theoretically, by providing simple, buildable and economical foundations. It explains simply, clearly and with numerous worked examples how economic foundation design is achieved. It deals with both straightforward and difficult sites, following the process through site investigation, foundation selection and, finally, design. The book includes chapters on many of the aspects of foundation engineering that most other books avoid, including filled and contaminated sites, mining and other man-made conditions that are all too frequently encountered. A step-by-step procedure for the design of lightweight and flexible rafts is provided to fill the gap in guidance on this much neglected, yet extremely economical foundation solution. The book concentrates on foundations for building structures rather than the larger civil engineering foundations and includes many innovative and economic solutions developed and used by the authors' practice but not often covered in other publications. An extensive series of appendices completes the book, providing a valuable source of reference. Written by practising engineers for practising engineers, it draws on Curtins' wide experience in the field and will be a worthy companion to their Structural Masonry Designers' Manual, also published by Blackwell Scientific Publications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major reference manual covers both overall and detail design of structural timber, including aspects such as shear deflection, creep, dynamic and lateral stability considerations for flexural members. Available for the first time in paperback, the Third Edition was substantially revised to take account of the many changes since the previous edition was published in 1984. It is based on British Standard BS 5268-2: 2002, which brought design concepts closer to European practice and Eurocode 5. Features of the Third Edition include: * information on bolt values including a consideration of improved performance using 8.8 grade bolts. * chapters on composite sections and Eurocode 5 on structural timber * the latest developments in materials and products * horizontal roof and floor diaphragms * vertical shear walls The manual also provides extensive tables and coefficients that will save the practising engineer many design hours. It will also be of interest as a reference for civil engineering undergraduates and to timber manufacturers. Whilst the design examples in the book are based on BS 5268, a large part of the content will have international appeal, whatever code or standard is being used. From reviews of the last edition 'the complete design manual ... a 'must' - Timber Trades Journal 'the manual continues its established position as an authoritative reference and in providing numerous time saving design aids.' - Institute of Wood Science Journal Cover design by Andrew Love The Authors E. Carl Ozelton is a consulting engineer specialising in the design and detailing of all forms of timber engineering and timber frame construction. Prior to setting up his own practice in 1977 he was Technical Director of Walter Holme & Sons Ltd, Timber Engineers, Liverpool and Technical Director of Prestoplan Homes Ltd, Timber Frame Manufacturers, Preston. He is a Chartered Structural Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers and an Associate of the Institute of Wood Science. He was awarded first prize in the Plywood Design Award 1966/7 sponsored by the Timber Trade Federation. Jack. A. Baird, a Chartered Structural Engineer, specialised initially in structural steel work before becoming Tachnical Manager of Newsum Timber Engineers, Following which he worked on BSI documents such as design code BS 5268. In 1970 he started the Swedish Timber Council, subsequently to become the Swedish Finnish Timber Council, in which role he produced factual information on many aspects of timber such as structural timber, and helped to persuade Nordic sawmillers to machine stress grade at source to BS 4978 under the Kitemark scheme. He co-authored the first edition of Timber Designers' Manual with Carl Ozelton and was responsible for seeing the second edition through the press.

Download or read book Basics of Foundation Design written by Bengt Fellenius and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Red Book" presents a background to conventional foundation analysis and design. The text is not intended to replace the much more comprehensive 'standard' textbooks, but rather to support and augment these in a few important areas, supplying methods applicable to practical cases handled daily by practising engineers and providing the basic soil mechanics background to those methods. It concentrates on the static design for stationary foundation conditions. Although the topic is far from exhaustively treated, it does intend to present most of the basic material needed for a practising engineer involved in routine geotechnical design, as well as provide the tools for an engineering student to approach and solve common geotechnical design problems.

Download or read book Tilt of Low rise Buildings with Particular Reference to Progressive Foundation Movement written by Hilary Skinner and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Digest provides guidance on the assessment of the significance of tilt of low-rise buildings resulting from foundation movement. It should assist building professionals, property valuers and insurance advisors in assessing the significance of tilt and the need for expert advice. The issues of acceptability and tolerability of tilt are particularly acute in low-rise housing. The shortage of good building land and the consequent necessity of siting new housing developments on more marginal sites gives added importance to the subject. This Digest is complementary to Digest 251 which deals with structural distortion and cracking caused by foundation movement.
