The book is devoted to an up-dated exploratory survey of results concerning elastic cusped shells, plates, and beams and cusped prismatic shell-fluid interaction problems. It contains some up to now non-published results as well. Mathematically the corresponding problems lead to non-classical, in general, boundary value and initial-boundary value problems for governing degenerate elliptic and hyperbolic systems in static and dynamical cases, respectively. Its uses two fundamentally different approaches of investigation: 1) to get results for two-dimensional and one-dimensional problems from results of the corresponding three-dimensional problems and 2) to investigate directly governing degenerate and singular systems of 2D and 1D problems. In both the cases, it is important to study relation of 2D and 1D problems to 3D problems.

Author: W. Dragoni (Author, B. S. Sukhija | Size: 9.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Geological Society of London | Year: 2008 | pages: 181 | ISBN: 9781862392359
There is a general consensus that climate change is an ongoing phenomenon. This will inevitably bring about numerous environmental problems, including alterations to the hydrological cycle, which is already heavily influenced by anthropogenic activity. The available climate scenarios indicate areas where rainfall may increase or diminish, but the final outcome with respect to man and environment will, generally, be detrimental. Groundwater will be vital to alleviate some of the worst drought situations. The paper analyses the main methods for studying the relationships between climate change and groundwater, and presents the main areas in which hydrogeological research should focus in order to mitigate the likely impacts.

Supporting Environmental Claims for Tall Buildings
Joana Goncalves & Klaus Bode, posted July 2011
One of the main causes of energy efficiency failures is LEED rewarding projects for their predictions, but not for proving the savings. The operation of buildings accounts for 85% of its environmental impact.
The High Life: Residential Towers in Central Business Districts
P. Noone, G. Klompmaker, C. Sumanik , posted June 2011
These buildings serve growing segments of the population who desire amenity-rich lifestyles and safe urban homes. They serve cities that desire significant real estate tax revenues, as well as local businesses, which desire purchasing power of new urban residents.
Vibration Control of Connected Towers
Akira Nishimura, posted June 2011
During an earthquake or strong winds, a natural response is to hold on to something. Through Sky Gardens, the three towers of the Island Tower Sky club are holding on to each other.
Challenging Preconceptions of the High-rise Typology
R. Koolhaas, E. Long, C. Doo & D. Shook, posted May 2011
The tall building today seems only concerned with a relentless striving for height and dominance of a city skyline. Often these towers are nothing more than the constant and monotonous repetition of a piece of land in the vertical direction, whose main aim is the profitable multiplication of the value of the ground.
Optimization Tools for the Design of Structures
M. Sarkisian, E. Long, C. Doo & D. Shook, posted May 2011
Structural optimization has attracted increasing interest in the building industry, especially in the design of high-rise buildings. By selectively distributing structural members in a building, the efficiency of the resulting design can be optimized; often resulting in aesthetically interesting forms.
Integration of Design and Construction
Abdelrazaq, Baker, Chung, Pawlikowski, Wang & Yom, posted April 2011
Tower Palace III was conceived as a 93-story residential tower soaring 320 meters into Seoul’s skyline. However, concerns of the local residents and authorities over the building height resulted in a 73-story tower with the same gross floor area.
Sustainability and the Tall Building
M. Ali, P. J. Armstrong, posted April 2011
As a major energy consumer, the tall building does not ordinarily conjure images of sustainable design. But a new generation of tall buildings is incorporating new developments in technology and design to produce smarter, energy-efficient buildings.
Tallest Steel Sheer Wall Building
S. Lee, N. Mathias, M. Sarkisian, D. Wang, posted March 2011
Because of its iconic slender form, a key design challenge was to develop an efficient lateral system capable of resisting wind and seismic lateral load; the article analyzes innovative structural system considerations relying entirely on the use of steel plates.
Tall Timber Buildings
Matthew Wells, posted March 2011
Standing nine floors and 29 meters (95ft) tall, the Stadtaus in London is indeed not very tall when regarded by height, but it does stand out as one of the tallest timber framed buildings in the world.
The Origin of the Skyscraper
Gerard Peet, posted February 2011
The modern skyscraper is generally considered to be an American invention. Chicago and New York claim they once hosted the world's first skyscraper and many American companies are involved in design of the world's tallest buildings.
A new urbanity: the relationship between towers and urbanism
Stefan Krummeck, posted February 2011
The prevailing skyline of the world's developed and developing cities demonstrates an ever-increasing prevalence of tall buildings forming a new urban model. This paper examines the relationship between towers and urbanism.
The Culture of Compactness
Peter Cookson Smith, posted January 2011
Compact cities are, by their nature, relatively sustainable, and Hong Kong is eminently so on many counts. In addition, the emerging intervention of economic forces in the Pearl River Delta continues to superimpose a new collective identity on the region.
Application of Tuned Liquid Dampers for the Efficient Structural Design of Slender Tall Buildings
David Lee, Martin Ng, posted January 2011
Tall, slender buildings on restricted sites present structural engineers with dynamic problems that are difficult to resolve... This performance-based design approach permits investigating separate structural systems.
