[PDF Download] Structural Steel Design Handbook

Description:
The only A-Z guide to structural steel design Find a wealth of practical techniques for cost-effectively designing steel structures from buildings to bridges in Structural Steel Designer's Handbook by Roger L. Brockenbrough and Frederick S. Merritt The Handbook's integrated approach gives you immediately useful information about: *steel as a material - how it's fabricated and erected *how to analyze a structure to determine internal forces and moments from dead, live, and seismic loads how to make detailed design calculations to withstand those forces This new third edition introduces you to the latest developments in seismic design, including more ductile connections, and high performance steels...offers an expanded treatment of welding....helps you understand design requirements for hollow structural sections and for cold-formed steel members....and explores numerous design examples. You get examples for both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD).

Authors:James O'BrienFredric Plotnick

Description:
Accelerate with CPM - and this leading guide to construction planning and scheduling. Widely used to network schedules effectively, critical path management (CPM) has become a powerful catalyst for fail-safe construction project design and management. And when it comes to applying CPM to day-in, day-out construction situations, this guide is the one you'll want to have.Written by the former vice chair of the celebrated construction management firm that renovated San Francisco's cable car system and redeveloped New York's JFK Airport, and by one of America's leading construction scheduling experts, the "Sixth Edition of CPM in Construction Management" arms you with more glitch-busting tools than ever for smooth handling of complex jobs.This highly informative, highly useful book shows you how CPM: works - and how to make it work for you; Serves as the analytical tool of choice for the evaluation, negotiation, resolution, and/or litigation of construction claims; cuts costs in a one-person operation or the most complex multinational enterprise; helps you stay on top of every aspect of complicated projects; saves you big money in delay avoidance, accurate cost predictions, and claims reduction; multiplies the effectiveness of your instincts, experience, and knowledge; and explains how to fully and properly utilize the power of leading scheduling software such as Primavera[trademark]. With case studies of major construction projects around the world and a 'John Doe' example project that's followed throughout, this book goes a long way in simplifying your application of CPM. From cutting project time up to 40 percent, to advanced gains from computer programs; from assessing critical deliveries, to courtroom evidentiary value - this updated classic is the construction tool that makes everything around you work better, faster, and more economically. This title helps you expedite CPM - and your projects fundamentals of CPM. Following are the features: event time computations; activity time computations; procurement; preconstruction; the CPM schedule; preparation of CPM network; CPM by computer; monitoring project progress; CPM and cost control; equipment and work force planning; precedence networks; computer programs and systems; applications and advantages of CPM; specifying CPM; CPM costs; case histories; and, CPM in claims and litigation.

A Practical Guide to Field Construction Managemen - Construction Project Management

Description:

For more than thirty years, Construction Project Management by Clough and Sears has been considered the preeminent guide to the Critical Path Method (CPM) of project scheduling. It combines a solid foundation in the principles and fundamentals of CPM with particular emphasis on project planning, demonstrated through an example project.

This Fifth Edition features a range of improvements. New pedagogical devices improve absorption of the material. Updated labor, material, and equipment pricing is incorporated into the text. Coverage is enhanced by discussions of contemporary planning and management methods such as Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and the Earned Value Management System (EVMS).
A highway bridge with a complete cost estimate, including SI units, illustrates each of the principles of project management. Using this basic information and the case studies in the appendix, readers are given project management problems and hands-on project management experience.
The Fifth Edition features include:
Complete coverage of planning and scheduling principles that apply to every type of construction project
Expanded coverage of production planning
Large foldout illustrations conveniently integrated throughout the book
Thorough and up to date, Construction Project Management, Fifth Edition is a superb text for students and an indispensable on-the-job reference for builders, architects, civil engineers, and other construction professionals.
