A basement wall is thus one kind of retaining wall. But the term usually refers to a cantilever retaining wall, which is a freestanding structure without lateral support at its top. These are cantilevered from a footing and rise above the grade on one side to retain a higher level grade on the opposite side.

Timber Formwork For Elevated Slabs Spreadsheet

Timber Formwork For Elevated Slabs Spreadsheet

This excel spreadsheet provides the design of timber formwork systems for elevated concrete slabs. The formulae, calculations, and tables used in this spreadsheet are based on ACI committee 347, Formwork for Concrete, 6th Edition.

Formwork is the term used for the process of creating a temporary mold into which concrete is poured and formed. Traditional formwork is fabricated using timber, but it can also be constructed from steel, glass fibre reinforced plastics and other materials.

The formwork design excel sheet is measured in terms of an area that is in contact with the concrete surface. For example, the formwork for concrete footing will be calculated as the surface area of four sides of foundation only. Bottom of the footing is resting on the earth, there is no need of any formwork and top of the footing is open.

Offshore Geotechnical Engineering Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last 30 years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques.

As a consequence, offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality.

The book’s structure follows a familiar pattern that mimics the flow of a typical off-shore project.

In the early chapters, it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems.

Three topics are then covered that require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards.

Offshore Geotechnical Engineering serves as a framework for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and will appeal to professional engineers specialising in the offshore industry. It is assumed that the reader will have some prior knowledge of the basics of soil mechanics and foundation design.

The book includes sufficient basic material to allow readers to build on this previous knowledge, but focuses on recent developments in analysis and design techniques in offshore geotechnical engineering.

Marine Structural Design Free PDF

 

This book is devoted to the modem theory for design and analysis of marine structures.

The term “marine structures” refers to ship and offshore structures.

The objective of this book is to summarize the latest developments of design codes, engineering practice and research into the form of a book, focusing on applications of finite element analysis and riskheliability methods.

Port Designer’s Handbook – Recommendations and Guidlines

Port Designer’s Handbook – Recommendations and Guidlines

 

Over the past twenty years there has been considerable improvement and new information in the design of port and berth structures.

Port Designer’s 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.

This 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.
