A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. Although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability. Typically, pre-conditional factors build up specific sub-surface conditions that make the area/slope prone to failure, whereas the actual landslide often requires a trigger before being released. This book discusses such triggers, as well as their outcomes.
Research studies of landslides that have occurred in various geographical settings are also among the topics examined in this book, as well as an analysis of the factors that caused them.

The independent airport planning manual >> By A L W Bradley, UK
Author: A L W Bradley, UK | Size: 2.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Woodhead Publishing Limited | Year: September 2010 | pages: 180 | ISBN: ISBN 1 84569 713 8 ISBN-13: 978 1 84569 713 6
- provides airport planners and architects with an essential guide and reference tool, based on the author’s extensive experience
- discusses key airport planning issues including forecasting demand, planning and strategic objectives and airport security
- outlines important airport planning principles specified by IATA for masterplan development featuring evaluation techniques and independent development planning
- focuses on the design of the terminal pier and satellite infrastructure with particular reference to effective passenger segregation and baggage handling system design concepts
This independent manual provides airport planners and architects with an essential guide and reference tool, based on the author’s extensive experience in the field and involvement in developing best practice airline and airport industry guidelines.
Chapter 1 discusses the key issues airport planners need to take account of, including forecasting demand, planning and strategic objectives, physical site constraints, airport security and the characteristics of terminals, satellites and piers. Chapter 1 also discusses cargo and aircraft maintenance facilities, general airfield infrastructure, landscaping and access provision. Chapter 2 refers to the outline development planning principles specified by IATA for masterplan development. Masterplan evaluation techniques are also explored and the author’s own approach to independent development planning is explained, setting the context for the chapters that follow.
Chapter 3 focuses on the design of the terminal pier and satellite infrastructure, particularly in the context of effective passenger segregation. This chapter also discusses and explains the various airside and landside retail models and shows how to obtain optimized landside and airside retail income. Chapter 4 reviews baggage handling system design concepts, referencing the three categories of baggage handling system and the technologies that support them. The pros and cons of different hold baggage screening locations and technologies are explored, including next generation baggage handling systems. Chapter 5 covers apron design, including such features as passenger airbridges and Multi-Aircraft Ramping Systems (MARS) for aircraft parking. The needs of both low-cost and legacy carriers are explored. Chapter 6 focuses on airport security, discussing potential threats to aircraft and airports, including the potential impact of explosives on airport infrastructure. The chapter also explains best practice for improving security in terminals, piers, satellites, car parks and forecourts as well as the airport perimeter. The final chapter comprises a series of airport case-studies, including airports processing predominantly low-cost and those processing predominantly legacy carriers. The case studies provide the designer with real examples of processes and layouts within airports.
About the author
Alexandre Bradley BEng (Hons), CEng, MIMechE, MPhil/PhD in study, has previously been an employee of BAA (formerly British Airport Authority) as Head of Terminal Development at Stansted Airport, UK and an airport planner with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and was lead author and editor of the ninth edition of IATA’s Airport Development Reference Manual (ADRM). Alex Bradley has contributed significantly to the design of many airport projects around the world, and has over 20 years experience in baggage handling systems design and airport masterplanning.

Folks,
Do anyone of you have reference drawings for tall buildings, from projects you have worked on or have copies of.
I am particularly interested to see how core walls / columns etc. get scheduled and detailed in the drawings. I don't think there is any better resource than looking at drawings from buildings that have been constructed.
