This book details the analysis and design of high rise buildings for gravity and seismic analysis.

This book is based on the study that was carried out to get information about the soil stabilization and modern developments used in bitumen usage. The basic aim was to provide a comprehensive literature on different techniques of soil stabilization and modern advancements in Bitumen usage. In this view detailed methods for soil stabilization are discussed .Detailed studies on Bitumen usage and their application have also been carried out and different laboratory and field tests that are required to ensure the strength and other geotechnical properties of soils using bitumen have been discussed. Also the usage related to the properties of bitumen like in buildings, hydraulic structures and pavement construction have been studied .Information regarding the uses of soil stabilization in Pakistan have also been carried out. Soil stabilization techniques are discussed in detail, which includes simple stabilization methods to newly developed concept i.e. by using admixtures. At the end, book is concluded with some conclusions derived in the light of the study and some recommendations have also been given.

This book provides a new solid background for the design of reinforced concrete structures. The practice of using f''c as a design parameter has been successful in the past and will continue to do so since there are numbers of strength reduction and load enhancement factors incorporated in the current design codes, which are entirely based on compressive strength of concrete. As a consequence the current design practice is not only leading to a more expensive design solution but also on the other hand suggests periodic revision of the building codes, as the upper limit of the concrete''s compressive strength has never been a constant. Having said that, the optimistic solution for the problem is the incorporation of fracture mechanics in the current design codes in general and more specifically concrete structures can also be designed based on the characteristic length of the concrete mix.
