The Purpose of the Guide:
The factors of influence were worked into the Categories and Characteristics as they are defined
in the new AESS documents. It was felt that in order for the users of the new specification documents
to more fully understand aspects of the Categories and Characteristics, that an illustrated
document was required. This Guide has been written to help you to more fully understand the
suite of CISC documents for the Specification of AESS material. It provides you with visual references
to help you to better understand the terms of reference. The buildings and connections
included in this document are meant to be representative and to provide clear visual references
that support the key facts that are being explained by the Guide. It is also hoped that the range
of projects illustrated will inspire you by highlighting the wide range of possibilities available
when designing with Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel.
It is not the intention of the Committee that the included details should be replicated or necessarily
represent “best practices”. They are presented only to allow for a better understanding of
the visual intentions of the practices and procedures outlined in the Guide and related specification documents.
Understanding that “a picture might be worth a thousand words”. The buildings
and connections included in this document are meant to be representative and to provide
clear visual references that support the key facts that are being explained by the Guide. It is also
hoped that the range of projects illustrated will inspire you by highlighting the wide range of
possibilities available when designing with Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel and help the
architect select appropriate Categories of AESS which range from AESS1 through AESS4.

Current knowledge and state-of-the-art developments in topics related to the seismic performance and risk assessment of different types of structures and building stock are addressed in the book, with emphasis on probabilistic methods. The first part addresses the global risk components, as well as seismic hazard and ground motions, whereas the second, more extensive part presents recent advances in methods and tools for the seismic performance and risk assessment of structures. The book contains examples of steel, masonry and reinforced concrete buildings, as well as some examples related to various types of infrastructure, such as bridges and concrete gravity dams.
The book's aim is to make a contribution towards the mitigation of seismic risk by presenting advanced methods and tools which can be used to achieve well-informed decision-making, this being the key element for the future protection of the built environment against earthquakes.
Audience:
This book will be of interest to researchers, postgraduate students and practicing engineers working in the fields of natural hazards, earthquake, structural and geotechnical engineering, and computational mechanics, but it may also be attractive to other experts working in the fields related to social and economic impact of earthquakes.

Hypothetical Earthquake Ground Shaking Estimation for Performance-Based Design
Size: 4.72 MB
Earthquake engineering design of buildings increasingly is using nonlinear dynamic analysis to demonstrate building performance. One requirement of the nonlinear dynamic procedure is the selection and manipulation of ground motions appropriate to design hazard level.
Seismic hazard due to ground shaking should be determined considering the location of the building with respect to causative faults, the regional site-specific geologic characteristics, and the selected earthquake hazard level. In general, the seismic hazard should include earthquake-induced geologic site hazards in addition to ground shaking.
The discussion here is limited to ground shaking hazard.

Flood Frequency Analysis contains information from authentic highly regarded reference resources. A substantial number of tables related to flood frequency analysis are included and will enable the student to understand the data required for adequate analysis. Also presented is a good selection of figures illustrating solutions to flood frequency problems. It is a state-of-the-art presentation and is important as a source of graduate reference material.
-Philip E. LaMoreaux, Editor-in-Chief, Environmental Geology, November 2001
After five decades, the field of Statistical Hydrology continues to evolve and remains a very active area of investigation. Researchers continue to examine various distributions, methods of estimation of parameters, and problems related to regionalization. However, much of this research appears in journals and reports and usually in a form not easily accessible to practitioners and students-producing a gap between research and practice.
Flood Frequency Analysis fills this gap by presenting many of these distributions and estimation procedures in a unified format within a single, self-contained book. Focusing on distribution families popular within the hydrologic community, the authors discuss three parameter estimation methods for each distribution: the method of moments, the maximum likelihood method, and the method of probability weighted moments. They present the details behind the procedures to provide the basis for the computations, and they illustrate each procedure with real data. Most of the computations discussed have been programmed for use with personal computers, and executable versions of these programs are available on CD-ROM from the senior author.
Only increased use of new methods and distributions can produce a consensus on their validity. With other books on the subject either limited in scope or seriously outdated, Flood Frequency Analysis provides the ideal vehicle for practicing hydrologists and engineers to explore and apply the latest methods and research results, and in doing so, contribute to the advancement of the field.

Dynamic Programming Based Operation of Reservoirs: Applicability and Limits
Author: K. D. W. Nandalal and Janos J. Bogardi | Size: 12.70 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2007 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 0521874084
Product Description:
Dynamic programming is a method of solving multi-stage problems in which decisions at one stage become the conditions governing the succeeding stages. It can be applied to the management of water reservoirs, allowing them to be operated more efficiently. This is one of the few books dedicated solely to dynamic programming techniques used in reservoir management. It presents the applicability of these techniques and their limits on the operational analysis of reservoir systems. The dynamic programming models presented in this book have been applied to reservoir systems all over the world, helping the reader to appreciate the applicability and limits of these models. The book also includes a model for the operation of a reservoir during an emergency situation. This volume will be a valuable reference to researchers in hydrology, water resources and engineering, as well as professionals in reservoir management.
Book Description:
Dynamic-programming is a method of solving multi-stage problems in which decisions at one stage become the conditions governing the succeeding stages. The application of dynamic-programming to reservoirs allows them to be operated more efficiently, and this is one of the few books dedicated to this topic. It explores the strength and weaknesses of dynamic-programming before analyzing several different models in detail. This book will be a valuable reference to researchers in hydrology, water resources and engineering.
