The striking T-center St. Marx Vienna was designed and built by the architects, Günther Domenig, Hermann Eisenköck and Herfried Peyker. Recently completed, the project has 119 000 m2 of usable floor space and contains offices for 3000 employees. Unusually proportioned, the building can be described as a reclining sculpture 60 m high and 255 m long with a 40 m wing cantilevering out. From a town-planning perspective this building represents the first step in the development of a new district on the site of the former St. Marx abattoir and cattle sheds. This book documents the design and building process of this spectacular building illustrated with a large number of detailed drawings and photos of the construction itself.

If for example an user uploads an image with CivilEA image tool and realizes that the image was wrong how can he/she delete it?
It happened to me and I don't want to fill the hosting space with useless data.
Is there an option for that and I didn't find it?
Should I contact and request that from a moderator? But they are already busy.
Is there an automatic system already implemented that deletes all images that are not being used inside forum? This can be very useful because user can upload image and reuse link (share it) outside of civilea.

Thoroughly updated and revised, this second edition of the bestselling Soil Sampling and Methods of Analysis presents several new chapters in the areas of biological and physical analysis and soil sampling. Reflecting the burgeoning interest in soil ecology, new contributions describe the growing number and assortment of new microbiological techniques, describe in-depth methods, and demonstrate new tools that characterize the dynamics and chemistry of soil organic matter and soil testing for plant nutrients. A completely new section devoted to soil water reviews up-to-date field- and laboratory-based methods for saturated and unsaturated soil hydraulic properties.
Retaining the easy-to-follow, “cookbook” style of the original, this second edition provides a compilation of soil analytical techniques that are fast, straightforward, and relatively easy-to-use. Heavily referenced, peer-reviewed contributions from approximately 150 specialists make this a practical manual and resource handbook that describes a wide array of methods, both conventional and cutting-edge, for analyzing the chemical, biological, biochemical, and physical properties of many different soil types. Including several “primer” chapters that cover the overall principles and concepts behind the latest techniques, the book presents sufficient detail on the materials and procedures to characterize the potential and limitation of each method. It covers recent improvements in methodology, outlines current methods, and characterizes the best methods available for selecting the appropriate analysis technique.
Promoting the research and practical application of findings in soil science, Soil Sampling and Methods of Analysis, Second Edition continues to be the most current, detailed, comprehensive tool for researchers and practitioners working with soil.

WHY DO ARCHITECTS NEED PHYSICS?
Students of most undergraduate architecture programs in the United States are required to take an introductory physics course. There are three good reasons for that requirement. First, architects have to understand the fundamentals of physics as they apply to processes taking place in buildings and in structures. Second, as part of general education, physics broadens our understanding of the physical world around us. Third, since physics is an exact science that relies on mathematics, solving physics problems enhances the analytical and scientific thinking skills of the student. “Physics-for-Architects” was written specifically for architecture students, aiming to satisfy those three basic requirements.
ARCHITECTURE PROGRAMS AND PHYSICS
The specific details of an introductory physics course may vary from one architecture program to another. Different programs may have different overall concentrations, which may affect the relative weight of their physics component. Within any given architecture program, physics topics may be distributed between introductory physics and other professional courses. Also, different programs may put different emphasis on the mathematical aspects of physics, sometimes referred to as the difficulty level of the physics course. What is common to all architecture programs is that the total time allotted to introductory physics is between one and two semesters. “Physics-for-Architects” has been designed so that it could be used in a wide variety of undergraduate architecture programs, according to their specific needs.
SELECTION OF TOPICS
Time is an important factor when compiling any curriculum and a textbook to support it. Class time as well as the time available for students’ homework is limited. Therefore, the topics that should be included in the physics curriculum and the depth of each topic have to be selected very judiciously. Topics have to be prioritized, and eventually some topics will have to be dropped out altogether. In “Physics-for-Architects”, the fundamental principles of physics and topics that have direct bearing on architecture receive the highest priority. Other topics are secondary. For example, Newton’s Laws are fundamental, and they are discussed in detail both theoretically and in numerous applications. On the other hand, some topics of modern physics had to be considered secondary, and they are interwoven at a qualitative level within other chapters. Some general concepts, such as series and parallel connections, apply to several topics. Since architects encounter them mainly in situations of heat flow, they are introduced here in that context. Most physics textbooks introduce those concepts in relation to electrical circuits of resistors and capacitors. The latter has no relevance to architects, and is not presented here.
LEVEL OF MATHEMATICS
The math pre-requisites to all the topics in the book are high-school-level algebra and trigonometry. An intensive review, only of the mathematical concepts and techniques that are needed for the course, is provided as an introductory chapter. Detailed solved examples are embedded in the text, and problems of various levels of mathematical difficulty are provided at the end of each chapter. That should allow teachers to tailor the math level of each topic to the specific needs of their program and their students. Teachers may opt to teach some topics at the highest level of mathematics, while other topics could be addressed with lesser mathematical rigor, or even only qualitatively.
ENGINEERING TYPE PROBLEMS
It is common to distinguish between physics-type problems and engineering-type problems. Physics-type problems are those that can be solved by using physics formulas. Engineering-type problems rely not only on closed physics formulas, but also on practical approximations, simplifications, ad hock tables, and the likes. Most physics textbooks limit their scope to physics-type problems. However, many physics related problems that architects encounter are of the engineering-type. Most architecture programs teach those kinds of problems in specialized courses, distinct from introductory physics. This creates an unnecessary dichotomy between physics and its applications. One of the tenets of “Physics-for-Architects” is to bridge that gap and to demonstrate to architecture students the relevance of physics. Many engineering-type problems are included in the text. The transition from axiomatic, physics-type approach to practical, engineering-type approach in analyzing situations and solving problems is illustrated throughout the text.
SCOPE
It should be noted, though, that “Physics-for-Architects” is a physics textbook, and it is not intended to be a replacement for the professional architecture books. Engineering-type discussions and problems are brought here as an introductory material, for illustrative purposes. Whenever a real situation has to be addressed, it is recommended that the reader seek professional advice and consult the professional literature. Although “Physics-for-Architects” has been designed for architecture students, “physics is physics”. The physics principles, concepts, formulas and ideas brought here are the same as those presented in other general purpose, introductory physics textbooks. The main difference is in the examples used to introduce and to explain the physics. Those examples are related to buildings and structures, and to their use by humans. Readers from other disciplines too may find the book interesting and effective in their
The Author
A physics professor at Howard University, Yehuda Salu has been involved in teaching and research for many years. For the last ten years he has been teaching the course Physics for Architecture. This book fuses the experiences and insights he gained in teaching that and other physics courses, his conviction that introductory physics courses should be tailored to the needs of their audience, and that sound pedagogy begins with meticulous and gradual exposition of principles and culminates in integration of concepts.
