Expert coverage of ASCE 7-16-compliant, wind-resistant engineering methods for safer, sounder low-rise and standard multi-story buildings Using the hands-on information contained in this comprehensive engineering guide you will be able to design and construct safer buildings that will better withstand extreme wind forces. Written by a recognized structural design expert, the book explains the general concepts and principles involved in the design of buildings and structures for wind forces. Structural systems used to resist wind forces are outlined and explained, in the context of both low-rise and high-rise buildings. Building Design for Wind Forces provides easy-to-follow summaries of complex ASCE 7-16 wind load provisions and shows how to apply the corresponding design procedures using practical examples. A detailed discussion of typical structural damage caused by extreme wind events such as hurricanes and tornadoes is presented along with design recommendations. Current wind engineering activities and recent research developments are discussed, and a general overview of wind tunnel procedures and an introduction to the concept of database-assisted design (DAD) is provided. Building Design for Wind Forces covers:*Wind forces and wind effects on buildings and structures*Wind load provisions of the ASCE 7-16 standard*Damage to structures caused by extreme wind events*Wind engineering activities and research trends*Structural systems for lateral loads*Tall buildings*Wind design procedures and wind load parameters*Wind loads on the Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS)*Wind loads on Components and Cladding (C&C)*Wind loads on building appurtenances and other structures*Wind tunnels and the wind tunnel procedure*Database-assisted design (DAD) show more

Intensive preparation for the challenging Principles and Practice of Civil Engineering (PE-CIVIL) exam Civil Engineers PE Practice Exams: Breadth and Depth is filled with questions and solutions formatted to closely resemble actual tests given by the National Council of Examinees in Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). The 80 questions and solutions (two sets of 40) are geared towards the AM (breadth) portion of the PE-CIVIL exam. Each set is equally subdivided into the five areas (Construction, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, and Water & Environmental) and represents the level of difficulty expected in the AM portion of the exam. The AM breadth questions and solutions are followed by 200 questions and solutions (five sets of 40) geared towards the PM (depth) portions of the PE-CIVIL exam. Each set is dedicated to one of the five areas (Construction, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, and Water & Environmental) and represents the level of difficulty expected in the PM portion of the exam. Civil Engineers PE Practice Exams: Breadth and Depth Contains questions and solutions closely resembling the actual exam Includes both AM (breadth) and PM (depth) questions and solutions Serves as the perfect companion to Dr. Goswami's Civil Engineering All-In-One PE Exam Guide: Breadth and Depth Features problems and answers targeted towards those specifically preparing for the PE-CIVIL examination Developed in the true Breadth and Depth format now required by all who take the exam Helps you prepare for the pressure of working under timed conditions

The success of any concrete structure depends on the designer's sound knowledge of concrete and its behaviour under load, under temperature and humidity changes, and under exposure to the relevant environment and industrial conditions. This book gives students a thorough understanding of all aspects of concrete technology from first principles. It covers concrete ingredients, properties and behaviour in the finished structure with reference to national standards and recognised testing methods used in Britain, the European Union and the United States. Examples and problems are given throughout to emphasise the important aspects of each chapter. An excellent coursebook for all students of Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering and Building at degree or diploma level, Concrete Technology will also be a valuable reference book for practising engineers in the field.
