Guide to building your own handcrafted log home including how to take naturally-shaped, tapered, round logs and scribe-fit them one to another so they look like they actually grew together in the forest. This book has information on the Log Selection Rules and the author's method for choosing which log to use next. There are also instructions for building hip and valley log rafters and roof trusses from full-round logs, how to cut state-of-the-art compression-fit saddle notches, and how to use underscribing to keep fits tight over time, along with step-by-step directions for laying out the sill logs for virtually any floor plans including hexagons, prows, etc. and advice on scribing and cutting long grooves and corner notches.

This compendium is made up of a selection of the best and most representative papers from a group of Elsevier's structural engineering journals. Selections were made by the journal's editorial teams. The papers appeared in the following journals during 2000: Journal of Constructional Steel Research P.J. Dowling, J.E. Harding, R. Bjorhovde Thin Walled Structures J. Loughlan, K.P. Chong Engineering Structures P.L. Gould Computers and Structures K.J. Bathe, B.H.V. Topping Construction and Building Materials M.C. Forde Journal of Wind Engineering & Industrial Areodynamics N.P. Jones Marine Structures P.A. Frieze, A. Mansour, T. Yao Each paper appears in the same format as it was published in the journal; citations should be made using the original journal publication details. It is intended that this compendium will be the first in a series of such collections. A compendium has also been published in the area of geotechnical engineering.

ISBN: 1351769650

This guidebook is a practical and essential tool providing everything necessary for structural design engineers to create detailed and accurate calculations. Basic information is provided for steel, concrete and geotechnical design in accordance with Australian and international standards. Detailed design items are also provided, especially relevant to the mining and oil and gas industries. Examples include pipe supports, lifting analysis and dynamic machine foundation design. Steel theory is presented with information on fabrication, transportation and costing, along with member, connection, and anchor design. Concrete design includes information on construction costs, as well as detailed calculations ranging from a simple beam design to the manual production of circular column interaction diagrams. For geotechnics, simple guidance is given on the manual production and code compliance of calculations for items such as pad footings, piles, retaining walls, and slabs. Each chapter also includes recommended drafting details to aid in the creation of design drawings. More generally, highly useful aids for design engineers include section calculations and force diagrams. Capacity tables cover real-world items such as various slab thicknesses with a range of reinforcing options, commonly used steel sections, and lifting lug capacities. Calculations are given for wind, seismic, vehicular, piping, and other loads. User guides are included for Space Gass and Strand7, including a non-linear analysis example for lifting lug design. Users are also directed to popular vendor catalogues to acquire commonly used items, such as steel sections, handrails, grating, grouts and lifting devices. This guidebook supports practicing engineers in the development of detailed designs and refinement of their engineering skill and knowledge.
