Design of Structural Elements as Per Eurocode and BS Code
The primary aim of all structural design is to ensure that the structure will perform satisfactorily during its design life. Specifically, the designer must check that the structure is capable of carrying the loads safely and that it will not deform excessively due to the applied loads. This requires the designer to make realistic estimates…

Foundation Engineering
Some Heroes In Geotechnical/Foundation Engineering Archimedes (287-212 BC) famously discovered 11 Archimedes Principle” of buoyancy, which affects soil weight and frictional resistance to sliding. He was killed by a Roman soldier who had no appreciation.Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736-1806) was a French military engineer, and while being in charge of building a fort on the island…

Design of Concrete Structures-14th Edition
The fourteenth edition of Design of Concrete Structures has the same dual objectives as the previous work: first to establish a firm understanding of the behavior of structural concrete, then to develop proficiency in the methods used in current design practice. It has been updated in accordance with the provisions of the 2008 American Concrete…

Pile Design and Construction Practice
This post is on the useful book written by Michael Tomlinson & John Woodward. Piling is both an art and a science. The art lies in selecting the most suitable type of pile and method of installation for the ground conditions and the form of the loading. Science enables the engineer to predict the behaviour…
