Innovative and individual detailed solutions for a range of different types of buildings
Strategies and measures for cost-effective planning and building
This volume from the 'in Detail' series highlights projects that are otherwise always overshadowed by more spectacular and extravagant buildings in the trade press. These examples show how cost-effective planning and building can be achieved. "Cost-Effective Building" takes the entire planning and implementation process into consideration - from office organization through the design phase and coordination of the execution planning, right up to actual execution. The focus throughout is on the building's profitability. The wide range of possible measures and strategies for implementing cost-effective execution presented provide various ideas and stimuli for architects and planners.
* Housing, schools, industrial buildings - cost-effective planning for all types of buildings.
* Wood, steel, concrete and brickwork - different materials allow for individual solutions
* Competent planning help drawn from practice

PyroSim is a graphical user interface for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). It is used to create fire simulations that accurately predict smoke movement, temperature, and toxin concentrations during a fire.
Key Features
PyroSim 2011 is a graphical user interface for version 5 of FDS and Smokeview. Some of PyroSim's key features include: * Edit geometry using floor plan images, angled walls, and other powerful tools. * Integrated execution of FDS and Smokeview * Full support for 64-bit operating systems * Run multi-CPU simulations with a single click * Import existing FDS4 and FDS5 models. * Convert FDS4 input files to FDS5 * Import AutoCAD DXF models directly or as background images. For a list features and bug fixes new in PyroSim 2010, please read the release notes. Download the Feature Slideshow to learn more about PyroSim's capabilities. PyroSim is designed to run on MS Window operating systems. Apple users have reported success using PyroSim with both VMWare Fusion and Parallels.
Bigger Models with PyroSim 64-Bit Edition
As of PyroSim 2008.2, registered users can take advantage of 64-bit hardware using a 64-bit version of PyroSim. The key simulation components (PyroSim, MPI, FDS) of this version are provided as 64-bit software. This allows access to memory beyond the traditional 3 GB limit in Windows operating systems - making it possible to create fire models with many more cells than with a 32-bit system. The 64-bit version requires a 64-bit computer and operating system.
Verification and Validation
The developers of FDS at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) use the model verification techniques outlined in ASTME 1355 to ensure the accuracy of the numerical solutions given by FDS. Additional information can be found in Part III of the FDS Users Guide.
FDS was also the subject of a verification and validation study sponsored by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Electric Power Research Institute. This work compares 5 different simulators based on several fire scenarios.

For anyone not familiar with the Autodesk Labs preview of the Subassembly Composer (SAC), it is a very intuitive tool used for creating highly customized Civil 3D Corridor Subassembly parts. Each Subassembly created with the SAC had the capabilities of much more than a simple "Subassembly from Polyline." Actually, every aspect a Subassembly created with SAC had the potential for being a dynamic component more intelligent that many of the Subassemblies preinstalled and included with Civil 3D. Most importantly, no programming or coding is necessary to accomplish these things. This extension will work with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011 and 2012, both 32 bit and 64 bit. Content is currently available in English only, but will install on all language versions of AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011 and 2012.

Recommendations on the use of rope access methods for work at height.
Abstract
This British Standard provides recommendations and guidance on the use of rope access methods for work at a height. It is intended for use by employers, employees and self-employed persons who use rope access methods, and those who commission rope access work, e.g. building owners and contractors.
This British Standard is applicable to the use of rope access methods for access to buildings, other structures (on or offshore) or natural features (such as cliff faces), in which the ropes are suspended from or connected to the structure or natural feature. It is applicable to situations where ropes are used as the primary means of access, egress or support and as the primary means of protection against a fall.
This standard is not intended to apply to the use of rope access methods for leisure activities, arboriculture, general steeplejack methods or emergency personal evacuation systems, or to the use of rope access (line rescue) techniques by the fire brigade and other emergency services for rescue work or for training.
