Proceedings of the 2004 Structures Congress, held in Nashville, Tennessee, May 22-26, 2004. Sponsored by the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 180 papers that explore the latest changes in codes, including wind and seismic provisions along with important new approaches, such as blast resistance, to enhance the security and stability of the structures. Rehabilitation and retrofitting emerge as a critical topic because private companies and government agencies alike are upgrading existing structures to hold the line on insurance premiums and to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines. Topics include: innovations in infrastructure design; recent trends in transportation structures; design approaches for different model building codes; restoration and repair of existing structures; seismic design concepts; project delivery systems; business and professional practice in structural engineering; ongoing theoretical and experimental research activities; and computation methods.

Principles of Applied Civil Engineering Design details the guidelines, principles, and philosophy needed to produce design documents for heavy civil engineering projects. The interrelationships among contract documents, site characterization, construction documents, and construction cost estimates are explained. This book features numerous examples and illustrations on drawing preparation, specification writing, and estimating construction costs. In addition to introducing conventional and standard practice and basic principles to prepare quality documents, the author offers advice and recommendations, especially on topics of design philosophy, loss prevention, and roles and responsibilities of design team members. Additionally, the book discusses the metric system, computer-aided drafting (CAD), certifying design, and measurement and payment provisions. This book is an excellent reference for advanced civil engineering students and practicing civil engineers that are involved with design, especially young professionals.

This useful guide walks practicing professionals through the complicated process of assessing wind loads on a variety of buildings and other structures as set forth in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-02. This revised guide addresses new developments in the wind load provisions of ASCE 7-02, including analytical procedures, simplified procedures, terrain exposures, and internal pressures. In order to clearly identify the scope and limitations of the Standard, Guide to the Use of Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-02 provides a brief review of the background material that forms the basis for the Standard's provisions. It includes a discussion of the general format of an analytical procedure used to determine wind loads and the various wind load parameters involved in this determination, such as velocity pressure, gust response factor, and pressure coefficients. Multiple examples using this analytical procedure to determine wind load are also included and worked out in detail. This book will assist structural engineers who design buildings and structures following the wind load provisions.
