Prepared by the Task Committee on Properties of Selected Plastics Systems of the Structural Plastics Research Council of the Technical Council on Research of ASCE. Structural Plastics Manual presents information for the structural engineer regarding the selection of the proper material or combination of materials that will provide those properties (mechanical, physical, thermal, or whatever) upon which design assumptions and calculations are based. Essential differences between plastics and other structural materials are described along with the associated differences in material selection philosophies. Guidelines for materials selection procedures are given. Factors affecting properties during production and use are examined. A section on reliability and quality control is also included. Test procedures for physical and mechanical properties and environmental effects are described. This manual supplements the Structural Plastics Design Manual, MOP 63 (now out of print).

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 14 papers that provide insight into the state of the practice in geotechnical measurements. Geotechnical measurements include observations of the physical state of subsurface materials and the ways that state responds to changes in the physical environment. Both laboratory and in situ measurements are essential to geotechnical practice and have provided the lifeblood for advances in modern geotechnical engineering. One section of papers focuses on laboratory measurements and their use to further understand and characterize geotechnical behavior. Another section focuses on the application of methods to measure actual performance of the geotechnical elements of constructed facilities.
