Retaining walls
Steel
Timber

Modules comply with current Australian Standards, and refer to a range of standard engineering references
and technical papers. Modules receive regular updates incorporating improvements, corrections and updates
as Standards change.

Only Australian Standards but because my stepson is now student in Melbourne (IT not Civil) i dedicated some time to free this program.
You can see it is registerd to Australian People and i hope after checking it you will buy it.

Copy the adapted files respectively in the proper folders and replace the existing.

This is a very useful tool to Australian Standards. This also has simple structural modelling available.

Just a caution if you use this, especially the reinforced concrete design. AS3600 uses a steel grade with Fy=500 MPa.

For Steel Design, the section they use is similar to British Standard and the steel grade is nominally grade 300 steel (Fy=300 MPa).

Machine Elements in Mechanical Design

The objective of this book is to provide the concepts, procedures, data, and decision analy-
sis techniques necessary to design machine elements commonly found in mechanical de-
vices and systems.

Students completing a course of study using this book should be able to
execute original designs for machine elements and integrate the elements into a system
composed of several elements.This process requires a consideration of the performance requirements of an individ-
ual element and ofthe interfaces between elements as they work together to form a system.For example, a gear must be designed to transmit power at a given speed.

The design mustspecify the number of teeth, pitch, tooth form, face width, pitch diameter, material, and
method of heat treatment.

But the gear design also affects, and is affected by, the mating gear,

the shaft carrying the gear, and the environment in which it is to operate.

Furthermore, the shaft must be supported by bearings, which must be contained in a housing.

Thus, the designer should keep the complete system in mind while designing each individual ele-
ment. This book will help the student approach design problems in this way.This text is designed for those interested in practical mechanical design.

The emphasis is on the use of readily available materials and processes and appropriate design ap-
proaches to achieve a safe, efficient design.

It is assumed that the person using the book will

be the designer, that is, the person responsible for determining the configuration of a ma-
chine or a part of a machine. Where practical, all design equations, data, and proceduresneeded to make design decisions are specified.It is expected that students using this book will have a good background in statics,
strength of materials, college algebra, and trigonometry. Helpful, but not required, would

be knowledge of kinematics, industrial mechanisms, dynamics, materials, and manufactur-
ing processes.

Among the important features of this book are the following :

It is designed to be used at the undergraduate level in the first course in machine design.
The large list of topics allows the instructor some choice in the design of the course. The format is also appropriate for a two-course sequence and as a reference for mechanical design project courses.
Students should be able to extend their efforts into topics not covered in classroom instruction because explanations of principles are straightforward and include many example problems.
The practical presentation of the material leads to feasible design decisions and is useful to practicing designers.
The text advocates and demonstrates use of computer spreadsheets in cases requiring long, laborious solution procedures. Using spreadsheets allows the designer to make decisions and to modify data at several points within the problem while the computer performs all computations.
References to other books, standards, and technical papers assist the instructor in presenting alternate approaches or extending the depth of treatment.
Lists of Internet sites pertinent to topics in this book are included at the end of most chapters to assist readers in accessing additional information or data about commercial products.
In addition to the emphasis on the original design of machine elements, much of the discussion covers commercially available machine elements and devices, since many design projects require an optimum combination of new, uniquely designed parts and purchased components.
For some topics, the focus is on aiding the designer in selecting commercially available components, such as rolling contact bearings, flexible couplings, ball screws, electric motors, belt drives, chain drives, clutches, and brakes.
Computations and problem solutions use both the International System of Units (SI) and the U.S. Customary System (inch-pound-second) approximately equally.
The basic reference for the usage of SI units is IEEE/ASTM-SI-10 Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System, which has replaced ASTM E380 and ANSI/IEEE Standard 268-1992.
Extensive appendices are included along with detailed tables in many chapters to help the reader to make real design decisions, using only this text.

Hydrology Principles, Analysis, and Design Second Edition

Hydrology is a long continuing hydroscience and much work done in this field in the past,
particularly in India, was of empirical nature related to development of empirical formulae,
tables and curves for yield and flood of river basins applicable to the particular region in which
they were evolved by investigators like Binnie, Barlow, Beale and Whiting, Strange, Ryves,
Dicken, Inglis, Lacey, Kanwar Sain and Karpov, etc.

In this book, there is a departure from empiricism and the emphasis is on the collection
of data and analysis of the hydrological factors involved and promote hydrological design on
sound principles and understanding of the science, for conservation and utilisation of water
resources. Hydrological designs may be made by deterministic, probabilistic and stochastic approaches
but what is more important is a ‘matured judgement’ to understand and avoid what is
termed as ‘unusual meteorological combination’.

Hydrology is a branch of Earth Science. The importance of hydrology in the assessment,
development, utilisation and management of the water resources, of any region is being increasingly
realised at all levels. It was in view of this that the United Nations proclaimed the
period of 1965-1974 as the International Hydrological Decade during which, intensive efforts
in hydrologic education research, development of analytical techniques and collection of hydrological
information on a global basis, were promoted in Universities, Research Institutions,
and Government Organisations.

Plastic Analysis and Design of Steel Structures

The plastic method has been used extensively by engineers for the
design of steel structures, including simple beams, continuous beams,
and simple portal frames. Traditionally, the analysis is based on the
rigid-plastic theory whereby the plastic collapse load is evaluated
through virtual work formulation in which elastic deflection is
ignored. For more complex frames, specialist computer packages for
elastoplastic analysis are usually employed. Current publications on
plastic design method provide means of analysis based on either virtual
work formulation or sophisticated plastic theory contained in
specialist computer packages. This book aims to bridge this gap.

This book emphasizes a plastic analysis method based on the
hinge by hinge concept. Frames of any degree of complexity can be
analyzed plastically using this method. This method is based on the
elastoplastic analysis procedure where a linear elastic analysis, performed
either manually or by computers, is used between the formation
of consecutive plastic hinges. The results of the linear elastic
analysis are used in a proforma created in a spreadsheet environment
where the next plastic hinge formation can be predicted automatically
and the corresponding culmulative forces and deflections calculated.
In addition, a successive approximation method is described to take
account of the effect of force interaction on the evaluation of the collapse
load of a structure. This method can be performed using results
from analysis obtained from most commercially available computer
programs.

Structural Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings

Bridging the gap between the conceptual approach and computer analysis,

Structural Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings:

Steel and Composite Construction integrates the design aspects of steel and composite buildings in one volume.

Using conceptual thinking and basic strength of material concepts as foundations, the book shows engineers how to use imperfect information to estimate the answer to larger and more complex design problems by breaking them down into more manageable pieces.

Written by an accomplished structural engineer, this book discusses the behavior and design of lateral load-resisting systems; the gravity design of steel and composite floors and columns; and methods for determining wind loads.

It also examines the behavior and design of buildings subject to inelastic cyclic deformation during large earthquakes—with an emphasis on visual and descriptive analysis – as well as the anatomy of seismic provisions and the rehabilitation of seismically vulnerable steel buildings.

Frantisek Wald – Benchmark cases for advanced design of structural steel connections

The CBFEM (component-based finite element model) is a new method to analyze and design connections of steel structures. The design focused CM (component model) is compared to FEM (finite elements models).

The publication introduces Benchmark Cases for Validation and Verification procedures of structural steel joints. The hierarchy of the System response quantity is prepared for welded and bolted connections as well as for column bases.

Each Benchmark Case starts with the task description and includes results of prediction by the analytical model according to EN 1993-1-5, references to experiments, validated model and numerical experiments, results of prediction by design Finite Element Analyses described in terms of global behavior and verification of resistance.

At the end of the publication, the reader may check his calculation on Benchmark cases prepared for the particular joint. Finite Element Analyses is a current step in design of steel connections, which allows to predict the generally loaded joints with a complex geometry with the same efficiency and accuracy as the traditionally designed connections based on the best engineering practice. Implementation of the FEA models for the structural steel detailing creates the qualitative step as we may see in other areas of engineering.

Paolo Rugarli – Steel Connection Analysis

Steel connection analysis and checking is one of the most complex problems in structural engineering, and even though we use very powerful computing tools, it is still generally done using very simplistic approaches.

Fromthe point of view of a typical structural engineer, the problem to solve is to design and check nodes, not single connections, i.e. a number of connections between a number of different members – maybe tens or even hundreds of load combinations, inclined member axes, and generic stress states.

In a typical 3D structure there may be several tens of such nodes, or maybe even hundreds, which may be similar, or may be different from one another; identifying nodes that are equal is one of the problems that the designer has to face in order to reduce the number of different possible solutions, and in order to get a rational design. However, this problem of detecting equal nodes has not been sufficiently researched, and there are currently no tools that are able to properly solve this issue.

If posed with the due generality, the problem of checking 3D nodes of real structures has not been solved by automatic computing tools. Also, because a general method of tackling all these problems is apparently still lacking, usually a few “cooking recipes” have been used to solve a limited number of typical, recurring (2D assimilated) nodes.

Indeed, it often happens that true, real world nodes have to be analyzed by such recipes, despite the fact that the basic hypotheses needed to apply these recipes do not always hold true. This poses a serious problem because although these “cooking recipes” have been widely used, in the past few years they have been applied to 3D structures designed using computer tools, in the non-linear range, perhaps in seismic areas, and with the aim of reducing the weight of steel.

The effects of such oversimplification have already been seen in many structures where steel connections have failed, especially in seismic areas (e.g. Booth 2014), but even in non-seismic areas (e.g. White et al. 2013, Bruneau et al. 2011). Generally speaking, it is well known that connections are one of the most likely points of weakness of steel structures, one of the most cumbersome to design – indeed one of the least designed – and one of the least software-covered in structural engineering.

Hydrogeology

This hydrogeology book is the English translation of the German textbook “Hydrogeologie” by Hölting and Coldewey. Published since 1980, this book is in its eighth edition. Its great success is attributed to the concept of the book. It was important for the authors to write a text that is generally easy to understand, both for experts and for persons who do not work in this special field. Consistent use of the internationally accepted SI units as well as the formula symbols in the text also contribute to the comprehensibility. All technical terms and their definitions match the various standards and are used consistently. Moreover, the original literature citations were completely revised in order to avoid misunderstandings and errors due to secondary sources. All of these points improve the readability and facilitate the understanding of the relatively complex concepts of general and applied hydrogeology.

Because this textbook is translated from the German edition, many of the hydrogeological examples depict the Central European region. Even though they have general relevance, knowledge of the local situation is not required. Furthermore, the book cites laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union (EU), whose meaning and handling are certainly also interesting for readers from other countries.

May this book promote understanding of the complex material of hydrogeology as well as the correlations between the fields of geology, hydrochemistry, geohydraulics and engineering for a wide international public and contribute to solving global problems with groundwater development, exploitation, and protection.
