Infrastructuring
The recent global financial crisis has intensified concerns over how nations—both developed and developing — can revitalize economic growth and ensure opportunity for prosperity to all citizens. Many analysts and policymakers alike are looking to new business creation and the promotion of entrepreneurial practices as a panacea, or at least as a partial solution. A. Coskun Samli has argued in his two most recent books that the current model of globalization tends to marginalize the poor and that developing countries must rely on local business development, rather than exogenous forces, such as aid, loans, and trade, to catalyze growth. This third book in his trilogy argues that a "bottom-...

Principles of Structural Design
Anyone involved with structural design, whether a student or a practicing engineer, must maintain a functional understanding of wood, steel, and concrete design principles. In covering all of these materials, Principles of Structural Design: Wood, Steel, and Concrete fills a gap that exists in the instructional resources. It provides a self-contained authoritative source that elaborates on the most recent practices together with the code-connected fundamentals that other books often take for granted. Dr. Ram Gupta, a professional engineer, provides readers with insights garnered over a highly active 40-year international career. Organized for ready reference, the book is divided into four ma...
Handbook of Structural Engineering
Continuing the best-selling tradition of the Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering, encapsulating the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of the field. The contributors cover traditional and innovative approaches to analysis, design, and rehabilitation. New topics include: fundamental theories of structural dynamics; advanced analysis; wind- and earthquake-resistant design; design of prestressed structures; high-performance steel, concrete, and fiber-reinforced polymers; semirigid frame structures; structural bracing; and structural design for fire safety.
Fundamentals of Building Construction
Now in its Fifth Edition, this essential textbook has been used by thousands of students annually in schools of architecture, engineering, and construction technology. The bestselling reference focuses on the basic materials and methods used in building construction, emphasizing common construction systems such as light wood frames, masonry bearing walls, steel frames, and reinforced concrete. New introductory material on the processes, organization, constraints, and choices in construction offers a better look at the management of construction. New sections covering the building envelope uncover the secrets to designing enclosures for thermal insulation, vapor retarders, air barriers, and moisture control. The Fifth Edition also features more axonometric detail drawings and revised photographs for a thoroughly illustrated approach and the latest IBC 2006, CSI MasterFormat, ASTM references, and LEED information.

Structural Steel Design to Eurocode 3 and AISC Specifications
Structural Steel Design to Eurocode 3 and AISC Specifications deals with the theory and practical applications of structural steel design in Europe and the USA. The book covers appropriate theoretical and background information, followed by a more design‐oriented coverage focusing on European and United States specifications and practices, allowing the reader to directly compare the approaches and results of both codes. Chapters follow a general plan, covering: A general section covering the relevant topics for the chapter, based on classical theory and recent research developments A detailed section covering design and detailing to Eurocode 3 specification A detailed section covering design and detailing to AISC specifications Fully worked examples are using both codes are presented. With construction companies working in increasingly international environments, engineers are more and more likely to encounter both codes. Written for design engineers and students of civil and structural engineering, this book will help both groups to become conversant with both code systems.
Design of Structural Steel Joints
This book presents a systematic method of learning how to design perfect joints for steel buildings in industrial projects. It describes the types of joints, details different types of jointing, and covers the mechanics of joints, supported by worked-out examples for different situations. It also includes design charts for full-strength joints of all standard sections. The design and details presented in this book conform to Indian codes and US standards for general building and structural steel work. Features: Provides details on connection design principles and applications from an application point of view. Covers practical aspects and good engineering practices related to connection design. Explains mechanics of joints with illustrations and sketches. Includes design charts for full-strength member joints of standard sections. Covers worked-out examples (sketches with supporting calculations) of all typical connections from roofs to base plates. This book is aimed at professionals in civil and structural engineering, steel structure design, and detailing.
Critical Connection
CRITICAL CONNECTION: THE MOTOROLA SERVICE STATION STORY chronicles the three-generation relationship between Motorola & the Motorola Service Stations. CRITICAL CONNECTION explores the role of risk taking in Motorola's prosperity, from Paul Galvin's shoestring radio venture in the 1920s, to the mutual gamble between the MSS & Motorola in the 1950s, to today's breathtaking Iridium (tm) initiative. The book's blunt look at the trials & errors on the way to the Fortune 500 yields surprises & positive lessons about taking chances. "There are a lot of people around here who think that you can't take risks," says Motorola CEO George Fisher, "& it's critical for them to understand that we take risks...
