Author: John Green, Stephen Bullen, Rob Bovey, Michael Alexander | Size: 6.8 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wrox | Year: March 26, 2007 | pages: 1176 | ISBN: 0470046430, ISBN-13: 978-0470046432
This book is aimed squarely at Excel users who want to harness the power of the VBA language in their Excel applications. At all times, the VBA language is presented in the context of Excel, not just as a general application programming language.
The book is loosely divided into three sections:
* Primer (Chapter 1)
* Working with Specific Objects (Chapters 2-27)
* Object Model References (Appendices A-C)
The Primer has been written for those who are new to VBA programming and the Excel object model. It introduces the VBA language and the features of the language that are common to all VBA applications. It explains the relationship between collections, objects, properties, methods, and events and shows how to relate these concepts to Excel through its object model. It also shows how to use the Visual Basic Editor and its multitude of tools, including how to obtain help.
The middle section of the book takes the key objects in Excel and shows, through many practical examples, how to go about working with those objects. The techniques presented have been developed through the exchange of ideas of many talented Excel VBA programmers over many years and show the best way to gain access to workbooks, worksheets, charts, ranges, and so on. The emphasis is on efficiency—that is, how to write code that is readable and easy to maintain and that runs at maximum speed. In addition, the chapters devoted to accessing external databases detail techniques for accessing data in a range of formats.
The final four chapters of the book address the following advanced issues: linking Excel to the Internet, writing code for international compatibility, programming the Visual Basic Editor, and how to use the functions in the Win32 API (Windows 32-bit Application Programming Interface).
Finally, the appendices are a comprehensive reference to the Excel 2007 object model, as well as the Visual Basic Editor and Office object models. All the objects in the models are presented together with all their properties, methods, and events.

Review
"...this timely publication offers a collection of key methods and practical skills necessary to carry out building performance assessment." - MCEER Information Service News, March/April 2005 Book Description
An international perspective of assessing building performance. Foreword
Why have architects talked about the assessment of building performance for so long and yet have been so slow to do anything about it? This question is particularly acute in office design, a topic that many of the chapters in this book address. Conventional office design and space planning are being challenged more and more by the new ways of working that ubiquitous information technology is making attractive and accessible to many clients and users. Old rules of thumb may not be working so well these days but they linger on in many design practices.
Post-occupancy evaluation is certainly considered by many designers and clients to be too time-consuming and expensive. Simply facing up to the reality of having to change may in itself be enough of an obstacle in the lives of busy professionals. Putting oneself in the position of potentially having to admit errors and thus opening the way to blame or even litigation may be a fear that is not even easy to admit.
These are real considerations but there are three deeper explanations all of which are addressed in this excellent book. The first is that both organizations and buildings are highly complex phenomena, not least because they are saturated by values and motives. The changing relationship between them over time makes them even harder to study and explain. Consequently and inevitably assessing building performance pushes the frontiers of social science. The second reason is that architects and designers, and many clients too, suffer from what might be called the curse of the project. Because of the ways in which design professionals, facilities managers and corporate real estate executives are constrained to work, it becomes almost impossible, operationally, day by day, for them to conceive of life as anything more than an unending series of separate, sequentially experienced projects. Generalisations become very hard to make. This quasi psychological, semi pathological condition is aggravated by the third and most fundamental reason for the general failure, so far, to put building performance assessment into common practice: the chronically fragmented and confrontational nature of the construction industry itself and, even worse, of its relationship with its clients. Supply side behaviour has become endemic.

This book presents a series of tables containing computed data for use in the design of comporlents of structures which can be idealized as llat, circular, rectangular, square, triangular and elliptical plates. A total of 139 tabulated cases with most common, and some not so common' loadings and supports typical of those encountered in design-cover the subject of "Plate Formulas" quite thoroughly. In addition, the book contains a detailed treatment of large deflections of plates which many referonce books ignore completely, although such deflections are frequently met with in practice. This is the case where the deflections are of the order of magnitude of the thickness.

I have a question about a topic of research I'm doing.
I'm getting silica of rice husks and other wastes as well in my country, but I need to investigate the procedures used to achieve a standard silica from the ash.
I want to get technical information about similar work performed before, some tips, and whatever that can help to make my work, at the forum I found a very useful book, about waste and concrete. I thanks a lot in advance for any useful information, greetings.

Impact mechanics is concerned with the reaction forces that develop during a collision and the dynamic response of structures to these reaction forces. The subject has a wide range of engineering applications, from designing sports equipment to improving the crashworthiness of automobiles. This book develops several different methodologies for analysing collisions between structures. These range from rigid body theory for structures that are stiff and compact, to vibration and wave analyses for flexible structures. The emphasis is on low-speed impact where damage is local to the small region of contact between the colliding bodies. The analytical methods presented give results that are more robust or less sensitive to initial conditions than have been achieved hitherto. As a text, Impact Mechanics builds upon foundation courses in dynamics and strength of materials. It includes numerous industrially relevant examples and end-of-chapter homework problems drawn from industry and sports. Practising engineers will also find the methods presented in this book useful in calculating the response of a mechanical system to impact.
Review:
'A delightful book, it is clear and beautifully prepared in a stimulating manner, which will encourage frequent reference and further reading in the several references provided. Practising engineers will also find the methods presented in this book very useful in calculating the response of mechanical systems to impact.' Current Engineering Practice
'... the book is unsurpassed in the masterly cogent treatment of intricate problems. We may paraphrase the words of the Spanish poet Garcia Lorca, when we predict that a considerable period will elapse before a book of comparable excellence will be published on impact theory.' Piero Villaggio, Zentralblatt für Mathematik

This great book has been revised, in line with the latest Australian codes. For more details continue reading below.
If anyone has a copy, please share:
Design of Portal Frame Buildings, 4th Edition S. T. Woolcock, S. Kitipornchai, M. A. Bradford, G. A. Haddad
This book presents limit states design procedures for the design of portal frame buildings based on Australian standards.
Portal framed steel clad structures are the most common type of industrial buildings.
They find extensive use as industrial factory and warehouse structures, and as indoor sporting venues.
The major components of a portal frame building are a series of parallel portal shaped frames as the major framing elements.
Each frame is rigid, and resists horizontal wind forces and gravity loads in the plane of the frame by flexural action.
The new 4th edition has been almost completely rewritten to account for changes in the loading codes particularly the new wind code, the availability of new purlin and girt sections and ASI’s publication of new connection manuals.
New design capacity tables for horizontal SHS struts up to 400x16 Grade 450 SHS are included and design capacity tables for crane runway beams and monorails have been updated and expanded.
The information and design guidance on monorail cranes has been significantly expanded and design examples added.
A method of dealing with elongated local pressure patches is presented including patches with the new local pressure factor of 3.0.
There has also been the opportunity to correct previous errors and to generally refine and update the previous edition.
The book should prove of great assistance to practising engineers as well as students.
