This guidebook is a practical and essential tool providing everything necessary for structural design engineers to create detailed and accurate calculations. Basic information is provided for steel, concrete and geotechnical design in accordance with Australian and international standards. Detailed design items are also provided, especially relevant to the mining and oil and gas industries. Examples include pipe supports, lifting analysis and dynamic machine foundation design. Steel theory is presented with information on fabrication, transportation and costing, along with member, connection, and anchor design. Concrete design includes information on construction costs, as well as detailed calculations ranging from a simple beam design to the manual production of circular column interaction diagrams. For geotechnics, simple guidance is given on the manual production and code compliance of calculations for items such as pad footings, piles, retaining walls, and slabs. Each chapter also includes recommended drafting details to aid in the creation of design drawings. More generally, highly useful aids for design engineers include section calculations and force diagrams. Capacity tables cover real-world items such as various slab thicknesses with a range of reinforcing options, commonly used steel sections, and lifting lug capacities. Calculations are given for wind, seismic, vehicular, piping, and other loads. User guides are included for Space Gass and Strand7, including a non-linear analysis example for lifting lug design. Users are also directed to popular vendor catalogues to acquire commonly used items, such as steel sections, handrails, grating, grouts and lifting devices. This guidebook supports practicing engineers in the development of detailed designs and refinement of their engineering skill and knowledge.

"Now in its second edition, the Structural Engineer's Pocket Book is a comprehensive pocket reference guide for professional and student structural engineers, particularly those taking the iStructE Part 3 Exam. The combination of tables, data, facts, formulae and rules of thumb make it a valuable aid in scheme design for structural engineers in the office, in transit or on site." "Concise and precise, this second edition is updated to reflect changes to the British Standards, which are used and referenced throughout, as well as the addition of a new section on sustainability. Other subject areas include timber, masonry, steel, concrete, aluminium and glass." --Book Jacket.

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.

This international handbook is essential for geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists responsible for designing and constructing piled foundations. It explains general principles and practice and details current types of pile, piling equipment and methods. It includes calculations of the resistance of piles to compressive loads, pile group

This text presents the theoretical and practical aspects of analysis and design, complemented by numerous design examples.

Comprehensive Coverage of the 16-Hour Structural SE Exam Topics The Structural Engineering Reference Manual prepares you for the NCEES 16-hour Structural SE exam. This book provides a comprehensive review of structural analysis and design methods related to vertical and lateral forces. It also illustrates the most useful equations in the exam-adopted codes and standards, and provides guidelines for selecting and applying these equations. Over 225 example problems illustrate how to apply concepts and use equations, and over 45 end-of-chapter problems let you practice your skills. Each problem's complete solution allows you to check your own approach. You'll benefit from increased proficiency in a broad range of structural engineering topics and improved efficiency in solving related problems. Quick access to supportive information is just as important as knowledge and efficiency. This book's thorough index directs you to the codes and concepts you will need during the exam. Throughout the book, cross references to more than 700 equations, 40 tables, 160 figures, 8 appendices, and the following relevant codes point you to additional support material when you need it.

Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the structure. The serviceability provisions embodied in

Concrete Structures provides an easy-to-understand, integrated and comprehensive treatment of the behaviour, analysis and design of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures. Concrete Structures is the definitive Australia textbook on concrete structures for students and professionals.
