  • Steel-Framed Open-Deck Parking Structures

    Steel-Framed Open-Deck Parking Structures
    Jan 22 2026
    A comprehensive framework for the engineering and assembly of steel-framed, open-deck parking structures. The document outlines essential structural components, comparing various concrete deck systems and their compatibility with steel frames to optimize durability and cost-effectiveness. It details critical design considerations such as fire protection, corrosion resistance, and compliance with building codes and ADA accessibility standards. Furthermore, the text offers technical guidance on high-performance coatings, including painting and galvanizing, to mitigate environmental damage from salt and moisture. Practical appendices provide design examples and maintenance checklists to assist engineers in ensuring the long-term integrity of these facilities. This resource serves as a vital manual for balancing architectural aesthetics with rigorous structural performance requirements.

  • High Strength Bolts: A Primer for Structural Engineers

    High Strength Bolts: A Primer for Structural Engineers
    Jan 21 2026
    A technical manual for structural engineers regarding the selection, installation, and design of high-strength bolts and historical rivets. It differentiates between common bolts (A307) and high-strength varieties (A325 and A490), detailing their mechanical behavior under tension, shear, and combined loading. The text emphasizes modern installation techniques such as the turn-of-nut and calibrated wrench methods, alongside specialized hardware like tension-control bolts and direct tension indicators. Engineers are provided with specific criteria for managing slip-critical and bearing-type joints, as well as complex structural phenomena like prying action, shear lag, and fatigue. Furthermore, the document outlines essential inspection protocols and maintenance considerations, including the reuse of fasteners and the impact of various hole types on connection integrity.

  • Corrosion of Steel in Concrete: Prevention, Diagnosis, Repair

    Corrosion of Steel in Concrete: Prevention, Diagnosis, Repair
    Jan 20 2026
    Provides an extensive, systematic guide for engineers to understand and combat the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures, particularly due to rebar corrosion. The content covers the fundamentals of concrete composition and its protective alkalinity, contrasting this with the reality that structures are not "eternal" because of corrosion initiation caused by carbonation and chloride penetration. Much of the text discusses the mechanisms and kinetics of corrosion, detailing the roles of water, porosity, and transport processes like diffusion and migration, and explores various preventative measures including quality control, special cements, corrosion-resistant rebar, and surface treatments. Finally, the source addresses inspection and condition assessment techniques, such as potential mapping and corrosion rate measurement, and outlines repair and rehabilitation strategies using conventional patching, as well as advanced electrochemical methods like cathodic protection and chloride extraction.
