Concrete Masonry Designers' Handbook


Book Description

Renewed interest in all forms of masonry as structural material has resulted in the Code of Practice BS 5628, which enables the designer to take a rational approach to the use of concrete masonry. This Handbook covers the design of concrete masonry, including many aspects not covered in Code and provides an insight into those other aspects of masonry performance to which the designer may need to give consideration. As such this is the first comprehensive guide for the designer, structural engineer, arhcitect and materials technologist, intending to use concrete masonry construction techniques.




Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook


Book Description

The Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook provides the coefficients, tables, charts, and design data required for the design of reinforced masonry structures. This edition improves and expands upon previous editions, complying with the current Uniform Building Code and paralleling the growth of reinforced masonry engineering. Discussions include: materials strength of masonry assemblies loads lateral forces reinforcing steel movement joints waterproofing masonry structures and products formulas for reinforced masonry design retaining walls and more This comprehensive, useful book serves as an exceptional resource for designers, contractors, builders, and civil engineers involved in reinforced masonry - eliminating repetitious and routine calculations as well as reducing the time for masonry design.










Concrete Masonry Designer's Handbook, Second Edition


Book Description

A new edition of a well-known and respected book. This book provides a thorough guide for structural engineers on the use of concrete masonry. The second edition of the Concrete Masonry Designer's Handbook is the only handbook to provide information on all the new CEN TC125 masonry standards, as well as detailed guidance on design to Eurocode 6. Throughout the book, detailed design examples are provided which will enable the designer to develop an understanding of the correct design approach. At key points in the book, table and design charts are provided to further facilitate the design process.




Port Designer's Handbook


Book Description

Over the past twenty years there has been considerable improvement and new information in the design of port and berth structures. This handbook reflects the lastest progress and developments in navigation safety, port planning and site selection, layout of container, oil and gas terminals, cargo handling, berth design and construction, fender and mooring principles. It presents guidelines and recommendations for the main items and assumptions in the layout, desing and construction of modern port structures, and the forces and loadings acting on them. The book provides an evaluation of different designs and construction methods for port and berth structures, and recommendations given by the different international harbour standards and recommendations. Practising harbour and port engineers and students will find the handbook an invaluable source of information.
