Climate change and peak fuel are issues that affect society, technology, politics, markets—and also our built environment. Rather than just adapting to these changes, a proactive and integrated approach is needed, combining sustainable policy, planning, and design.
Smart Building in a Changing Climate presents the latest developments in the area of climate-responsive, energy-effective policy, planning, and design. New approaches include designing with nature, energy-based planning, bioclimatic architecture, adaptable building strategies, and innovative technology such as the Breathing Window.
Subjects include: Indoor & Outdoor Climate; Regional & Urban Planning; Building Design; The Building Skin; Flexibility & Transformation; Policy & Management. Also with Ronald Waterman, Ken Yeang, Wubbo Ockels, John Worthington, and Jón Kristinsson.

BS EN 13001-1 has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means for the mechanical design and theoretical verification of cranes to conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, as amended. This standard also establishes interfaces between the user (purchaser) and the designer, as well as between the designer and the component manufacturer, in order to form a basis for selecting cranes and components.
The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clause 4 of this standard is necessary to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with the following hazards:
a) rigid body instability of the crane or its parts (tilting, shifting)
b) exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue)
c) elastic instability of the crane or its parts (buckling, bulging)
d) exceeding temperature limits of material or components
e) exceeding the deformation limits.

Does anyone have any video tutorials or example manuals for cypecad/metal 3D in english? Any kind of short step by step intro to modeling/material/load assignment etc?
There's a portuguese video here, but also missing the 1st part, and I also don't understand the titles of the videos.
I just need basics to get started...after that it's like every other software.
Natural ventilation is considered a prerequisite for sustainable buildings and is therefore in line with current trends in the construction industry. The design of naturally ventilated buildings is more difficult and carries greater risk than those that are mechanically ventilated. A successful result relies increasingly on a good understanding of the abilities and limitations of the theoretical and experimental procedures that are used for design.
There are two ways to naturally ventilate a building: wind driven ventilation and stack ventilation. The majority of buildings employing natural ventilation rely primarily on wind driven ventilation, but the most efficient design should implement both types.
Natural Ventilation of Buildings: Theory, Measurement and Design comprehensively explains the fundamentals of the theory and measurement of natural ventilation, as well as the current state of knowledge and how this can be applied to design. The book also describes the theoretical and experimental techniques to the practical problems faced by designers. Particular attention is given to the limitations of the various techniques and the associated uncertainties.
Key features:
Comprehensive coverage of the theory and measurement of natural ventilation
Detailed coverage of the relevance and application of theoretical and experimental techniques to design
Highlighting of the strengths and weaknesses of techniques and their errors and uncertainties
Comprehensive coverage of mathematical models, including CFD
Two chapters dedicated to design procedures and another devoted to the basic principles of fluid mechanics that are relevant to ventilation
This comprehensive account of the fundamentals for natural ventilation design will be invaluable to undergraduates and postgraduates who wish to gain an understanding of the topic for the purpose of research or design. The book should also provide a useful source of reference for more experienced industry practitioners.

Widely used in civil, mechanical and automotive engineering since the early 1980s, multilayer rubber bearings have been used as seismic isolation devices for buildings in highly seismic areas in many countries. Their appeal in these applications comes from their ability to provide a component with high stiffness in one direction with high flexibility in one or more orthogonal directions. This combination of vertical stiffness with horizontal flexibility, achieved by reinforcing the rubber by thin steel shims perpendicular to the vertical load, enables them to be used as seismic and vibration isolators for machinery, buildings and bridges.
Mechanics of Rubber Bearings for Seismic and Vibration Isolation collates the most important information on the mechanics of multilayer rubber bearings. It explores a unique and comprehensive combination of relevant topics, covering all prerequisite fundamental theory and providing a number of closed-form solutions to various boundary value problems as well as a comprehensive historical overview on the use of isolation.
Many of the results presented in the book are new and are essential for a proper understanding of the behavior of these bearings and for the design and analysis of vibration or seismic isolation systems. The advantages afforded by adopting these natural rubber systems is clearly explained to designers and users of this technology, bringing into focus the design and specification of bearings for buildings, bridges and industrial structures.

Introduction to Finite Element Analysis: Formulation, Verification and Validation
Author: Barna Szabó, Ivo Babuška | Size: ~9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wiley | Year: April 26, 2011 | pages: 372 | ISBN: 0470977280, ISBN-13: 978-0470977286
When using numerical simulation to make a decision, how can its reliability be determined? What are the common pitfalls and mistakes when assessing the trustworthiness of computed information, and how can they be avoided?
Whenever numerical simulation is employed in connection with engineering decision-making, there is an implied expectation of reliability: one cannot base decisions on computed information without believing that information is reliable enough to support those decisions. Using mathematical models to show the reliability of computer-generated information is an essential part of any modelling effort.
Giving users of finite element analysis (FEA) software an introduction to verification and validation procedures, this book thoroughly covers the fundamentals of assuring reliability in numerical simulation. The renowned authors systematically guide readers through the basic theory and algorithmic structure of the finite element method, using helpful examples and exercises throughout.
* Delivers the tools needed to have a working knowledge of the finite element method
* Illustrates the concepts and procedures of verification and validation
* Explains the process of conceptualization supported by virtual experimentation
* Describes the convergence characteristics of the h-, p- and hp-methods
* Covers the hierarchic view of mathematical models and finite element spaces
* Uses examples and exercises which illustrate the techniques and procedures of quality assurance
* Ideal for mechanical and structural engineering students, practicing engineers and applied mathematicians
* Includes parameter-controlled examples of solved problems in a companion website

This part of BS 8541 gives guidance and recommendations for symbols and other graphic conventions for use on drawings for the construction industry.
It is primarily intended for those preparing drawings.
The symbols covered by this British Standard is restricted to the architectural and land registry symbols as the base for architecture drawing, modelling and planning activities. The more specific symbols for mechanical, electrical and plumbing along with the structural steel sections and welding are deferred to those institutes that have a greater understanding of the needs of their members in a fast changing world.
