Design of Fastenings in Concrete
Author(s): Comité Euro-International du Béton
Publication date: 17 April 1996
ISBN: 9780727735669
£57.25
Although a large number of fastenings assembles are installed every day, understanding in the engineering community of their behaviour is limited, and there is no generally accepted design method. Design of fastenings in concrete overcomes this.
This design guide is based on a safety concept using partial safety factors taken from the CEB/FIB Mo

Design Tables for Reinforced Laterally Loaded Masonry Panels: To BS 5628 Parts 1 and 2
Author(s): R Cheng, Consulting Engineer
Publication date: 04 April 1996
ISBN: 9780727725264
£35.00
Masonry walls are not isotropic; they have less strength in bending in the vertical direction than in the horizontal. The design of two-way spanning masonry panels under lateral loads is therefore complicated and tedious.
The design tables in this book present a straightforward and practical approach to the design of rectangular lateral loaded p

Author(s): Edited by D Barker
Publication date: 06 April 1995
ISBN: 9780727720313
£40.75
Recent concerns over the durability and whole-life costs of systems such as steel and concrete, has focused attention on the self-repairing ability of vegetation, and its low-tech and low whole-life cost and maintenance requirements. The awareness of the beneficial effects of vegetation has been increasing within the civil engineering profession, a
