REINFORCED CONCRETE GRADE BEAMS, PILES & CAISSONS A SimplifiedGuideforHillsideEngineering This book is the torchlight for Architects, engineers, contractors & homeowners. It tells about different type of soils & how they create problems when building a structure on it. The book tells the reader about how to solve the problems of soft soil by going deep into foundation by supporting the structure on grade beams, piles & caissons. It brings the information about the role of different professionals who are involved in solving these problems & building a dream structure for an ambitious homeowner. Several homeowners desire to live on nice, isolated, beautiful, dreamlike land. But they do not have any information about how this work is done. Another important characteristic of construction is loads, which are additional loads due to the Alluvium soil, depth of the deep foundation & availability of hard rock & slope of the site location, daylight to the edge of the foundation & water table elevation etc. It discusses the importance of soil report & Geotechnical engineers soil samples. Importance of loads & load combinations are emphasized. Most important aspect is the CODE which has control of the local authority, State authority & International authority. Not only that all the revisions in CODE shall be considered. The book gives several useful formulas for structural engineering calculations for this kind of structures. I have added real life work samples which I have done for design of hillside structures. By Raksha N. Parmar (P.E.) State of California

Examining the proliferation of reinforced-concrete construction in the United States after 1900, historian Amy E. Slaton considers how scientific approaches and occupations displaced traditionally skilled labor. The technology of concrete buildings—little studied by historians of engineering, architecture, or industry—offers a remarkable case study in the modernization of American production. The use of concrete brought to construction the new procedures and priorities of mass production. These included a comprehensive application of science to commercial enterprise and vast redistributions of skills, opportunities, credit, and risk in the workplace. Reinforced concrete also changed the American landscape as building buyers embraced the architectural uniformity and simplicity to which the technology was best suited. Based on a wealth of data that includes university curricula, laboratory and company records, organizational proceedings, blueprints, and promotional materials as well as a rich body of physical evidence such as tools, instruments, building materials, and surviving reinforced-concrete buildings, this book tests the thesis that modern mass production in the United States came about not simply in answer to manufacturers' search for profits, but as a result of a complex of occupational and cultural agendas.

Excerpt from A Handbook on Reinforced Concrete for Architects Engineers, and Contractors The book is divided into four parts: Part I gives a general but concise resume of the subject from a practical standpoint, bringing out some of the difficulties met with in practice, and suggest ing remedies. Under Part II is compiled a series of tests justifying the use of various constants and coefficients in preparing the tables under Part III, as well as bearing out the theory of elasticity. Part III contains a series of tables from which it is hoped the designer may obtain all necessary information to meet the more common cases in practice. It was not intended to cover the more intricate designs, as this is a feature that requires considerable thought and time, both of which may be profitably applied. Part IV treats of the de sign of trussed roofs from a practical standpoint. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
