This course book will be limited to presentation of basic principles and process tech-
niques in construction execution. It is intended as an aid and a guide to circumvent some
problems encountered in design and execution, outlining present techniques and materials re-
lated to construction technology for their evaluation and improvement.

MECHANICS OF FLUIDS presents fluid mechanics in a manner that helps students gain both an understanding of, and an ability to analyze the important phenomena encountered by practicing engineers. The authors succeed in this through the use of several pedagogical tools that help students visualize the many difficult-to-understand phenomena of fluid mechanics. Explanations are based on basic physical concepts as well as mathematics which are accessible to undergraduate engineering students.

"Modeling and Control in Vibrational and Structural Dynamics: A Differential Geometric Approach (Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Mathematics & Nonlinear Science)"
Modeling and Control in Vibrational and Structural Dynamics: A Differential Geometric Approach describes the control behavior of mechanical objects, such as wave equations, plates, and shells. It shows how the differential geometric approach is used when the coefficients of partial differential equations (PDEs) are variable in space (waves/plates), when the PDEs themselves are defined on curved surfaces (shells), and when the systems have quasilinear principal parts.
To make the book self-contained, the author starts with the necessary background on Riemannian geometry. He then describes differential geometric energy methods that are generalizations of the classical energy methods of the 1980s. He illustrates how a basic computational technique can enable multiplier schemes for controls and provide mathematical models for shells in the form of free coordinates. The author also examines the quasilinearity of models for nonlinear materials, the dependence of controllability/stabilization on variable coefficients and equilibria, and the use of curvature theory to check assumptions.
With numerous examples and exercises throughout, this book presents a complete and up-to-date account of many important advances in the modeling and control of vibrational and structural dynamics.

In this unique reference volume, rotary blasthole drilling and surface blasting, as applied in large surface mines, are comprehensively covered. Both new and classic concepts, techniques and methodologies are presented, supported by numerous illustrations and practical data. In 26 chapters, drilling, surface blasting, rock, rock mass, machinery, tools and accessories, compressors and air flushing, computing and practice are many other relevant subjects are treated; the first 16 chapters deal with rotary blasthole drilling, and the 10 next chapters with the concepts, theory and practice of blasting. Moreover, the 14 appendices provide vital technical and commercial data, to further support the reader to design, plan, execute and calculate blasthole drilling operations. This volume is intended for professionals and technicians in mining, exploration, geological and mechanical engineering, who are involved with the design, planning and execution of rotary drilling and blasting operations in surface mines.

Author: David A. Bainbridge | Size: 7,9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Passive Solar Inst | Year: 1981-06 | pages: 104 | ISBN: 0933490038
This book covers the design and construction of simple passive solar water heaters. In my opinion, it is easily the best book ever written on the subject. The book was published in 1981, and is now out of print and difficult to obtain.
Passive Solar Water Heaters:
The water heaters covered in this book make a great DIY solar project. For a few hundred dollars and a weekend of labor, you can build one of these solar water heaters. It will pay back its initial cost in a year or two. One of these water heaters can save about 4000 KWH in a year -- about the same amount of energy that a 1KW PV costing around $10,000 would save!
The book includes:
How to design a passive solar water heater
How to build a passive solar water heater
How to install a passive solar water heater
Examples of many types of designs that would almost any situation
Discussion of potential improvements to the design

Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products -- Visual assessment of surface cleanliness -- Part 1: Rust grades and preparation grades of uncoated steel substrates and of steel substrates after overall removal of previous coatings
Abstract
Identifies four levels of mill scale and rust that are commonly found on surfaces of uncoated steel. It also identifies certain degrees of visual cleanliness after surface preparation of uncoated steel surfaces and of steel surfaces after total removal of any previous coating. Are defined by written descriptions together with photographic examples.

Professional Architectural Photography, Third Edition (Professional Photography Series)
Review
Reviews of current edition:
'The book is easy to read, concise and to the point, and offers a wealth of information detailing with the art and science of architectural photography' Reader from Amazon
'A truly comprehensive guide' Professional Photographer
'Repays close study, particularly on the technical side' Society of Architectural and Industrial Illustrators News
'Architects and estate agents, amongst many other professionals, will find [this book] of great value' ASI Journal
Product Description
This is a must-have guide both for aspiring students and for established professionals who need to keep up to speed with the current impact of recent digital developments.
In this highly visual, full colour text Michael Harris shares his professional secrets and demonstrates how to achieve top quality architectural images. Brief histories of both architecture and architectural photography lay the foundations for the technical applications that follow. This third edition provides increased coverage of the revolution in digital photography, which is forcing all photographers to review their practices. The pros and cons of these developments are assessed through a comparison of the film and digital mediums and the highly debated variances in their quality and cost.
Michael Harris is a freelance photographer specializing in architectural and interior photography. His work covers a wide spectrum from industrial and commercial, to residential photography. He is author of 'Professional Interior Photography', also published by Focal Press.
*Learn how to achieve top quality architectural images from a leading expert
