For reasons of economy, the size of the openings must be kept reasonably small, yet must be large enough to pass floods. Getting this balance right has taxed engineers in all parts of the world for centuries. Similarly, existing bridges may have to be investigated to determine their contribution to flooding or susceptibility to scour. How can a bridge waterway be analysed and designed? Is there a hydraulic difference between a rectangular and an arched opening? By how much does a bridge exacerbate flooding upstream? How can scour be evaluated and adequate protection afforded? This book answers these questions and many more. Bridge Hydraulics will be a valuable reference for practising engineers concerned with bridges over rivers, and will assist greatly in the production of authoritative analyses and effective designs ~~~ AISC Manual of Steel Construction AISC 316-89 ISBN: 1564240002 Title: AISC Manual of Steel Construction (AISC 316-89) Author: Aisc Manual Committee Publisher: American Institute of Steel Construction Publication Date: 1989-07-01 Number Of Pages: 1144 ~~~ Working Drawings Handbook ISBN: 0750624949 Author: Keith Styles Publisher: Architectural Press Publication Date: 1995-11-07 Number Of Pages: 144 This essential tool for students and in the drawing office forms a comprehensive manual for students of architecture, architects, architectural technicians, and draughtsmen in the building industry on how to produce clear and effective working drawings.This manual on architecture for students and professionals concerns how to produce clear and effective working drawings.

Although deceptively simple - a steel blade rotating around two rubber-clad wheels, the bandsaw does its best work when it's tuned properly. Unfortunately, most owner's manuals provided by tool manufacturers are difficult to understand, and the drawings and photos are unclear. In this book, professional woodworker Lonnie Bird gives all the information bandsaw owners wished came in the owner's manual plus much more - what to look for when buying a bandsaw and how to tune it up for optimal performance. The information is presented in an accessible, easy-to-understand way, making this a quick reference as well as comprehensive handbook. All the information is up-to-date and thoroughly researched. Excellent color photos by the author and a clean, friendly layout gives this book on a classic woodworking subject a fresh modern look. This clearly illustrated and photographed volume will quickly become the standard reference and is a must-have title for any woodworker ~~~ A Course in Wood Turning By Archie S. Milton and Otto K. Wohlers * Publisher: The Bruce Publishing Company * Number Of Pages: * Publication Date: 1947 * ISBN / ASIN: B000HW2FT0 This book is the outgrowth of problems given to high school pupils by the writers, and has been compiled in logical sequence. Stress is laid upon the proper use of tools, and the problems are presented in such a way that each exercise, or project, depends somewhat on the one preceding. It is not the idea of the writers that all problems shown should be made, but that the instructor select only such as will give the pupils enough preliminary work in the use of the tools to prepare them for other models following. The related matter on the care of the lathe and tools, the grinding of chisels, the polishing of projects, and the specific directions and cautions for working out the various exercises and projects with the drawings, make the book not only valuable for reference, but also as a class text to be studied in connection with the making of projects. The drawings show exact dimensions and are tabulated in the upper right-hand corner in such a way that they may be used in a filing case if desired. At least two designs are shown for each model, and these may be used as suggestions from which students, with the aid of the instructor, may work out their own designs. The ultimate aim of this book is to give, through the exercises and problems, a thorough understanding of the principles of wood turning by gradually developing the confidence of the pupil in the complete control of his tools, at the same time suggesting harmonious lines in design which will lead to other ideas in designing problems ~~~ Mastering Hand Tool Techniques: A Comprehensive Guide on How to Sharpen, Tune and Use Classic Hand Tools to Add Power to Your Woodworking ~~~ Router Magic Publisher: Rodale Pr * Number Of Pages: * Publication Date: 1999-07 * ISBN / ASIN: 0875969933 Book Description: With a handful of standard bits and extraordinary jigs, fixtures, and techniques, this book shows everything from planing boards to making fluted dowels, crafting flawless cope-and-stick joints, and creating amazing spiral-beaded columns and finials ~~~ Understanding Wood Finishing: How to Select and Apply the Right Finish By Bob Flexner * Publisher: Readers Digest * Number Of Pages: 320 * Publication Date: 2005-06-23 * ISBN / ASIN: 0762106212 OR http://mihd.net/crtoeh ~~~ Earthquake Engineering Handbook (New Directions in Civil Engineering) * Publisher: CRC * Number Of Pages: 1512 * Publication Date: 2002-09-27 * ISBN / ASIN: 0849300681 Book Description: Written for practitioners as well as graduate- level students, this is a comprehensive reference and resource that covers the spectrum of disciplines and topics needed to design for and mitigate earthquakes.

The fourth of Derek Phillip’s lighting books draws on his experience to illustrate how best to bring natural light into building design. As sustainability becomes a core principal for designers, daylighting comes to the fore as an alternative to artificial, energy consuming, light. Here, Phillips makes a rational argument for considering daylight first, outlining the arguments in favour of a daylight approach, and goes on to show, through a series of beautifully illustrated case studies, how architects have created buildings in which natural light has been shown to play a major strategic role in the development of the design of a building. Learn how to incorporate daylight into a wide range of building design types Be informed about the most ’sustainable’ of lighting techniques International case studies including examples from the UK, Hong Kong and USA inspire the reader and illustrate best practice ~ Title: The Master Architect Series: EISENMAN ARCHITECTS - Selected and Current Works language: English & Chinese format: 206xJPEG in .rar ~ Title: The Master Architect Series: John Portman and Associates - Selected and Current Works language: English & Chinese format: 106xJPEG in .rar ~ KPF-The Master Architects Series Title: The Master Architect Series II: KPF - Selected and Current Works language: English & Chinese format: 213xJPEG in .rar |
