The new edition of Winkler's textbook, completely revised by K. Bucher and M. Frey, is written at the same level as the preceding editions. Numerous diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals found in metamorphic rocks help to determine the pressure and temperature conditions under which a given set of metamorphic rocks may have formed. Part I explains basic principles of metamorphism, introduces metamorphic processes and geologic thermobarometry, and defines metamorphic grade. Part II presents in a systematic way mineralogical changes and assemblages found in the most common types of rocks. The computation of the diagrams is based on recent advances in quantitative petrology and geochemistry. An extensive bibliography makes it an invaluable source book for graduate students and professional geologists.

SCI P343: Insulated Render Systems Used With Light Steel Framing
Author: C Wright, M T Gorgolewski, G H Couchman, R M Lawson | Size: 4.2 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: SCI | Year: 2006 | pages: 53 | ISBN: 1859421652
This publication provides design guidance on the use of insulated render cladding systems as applied to light steel framing. Good practice recommendations and advice are given on choosing details appropriate to the degree of exposure to wind-driven rain. A performance scoring system is presented and the minimum requirements are based on the BRE exposure classifications of: sheltered, moderate, severe and very severe exposures. Details are given which provide ‘back-up’ or robust long term performance in the event of any water ingress or condensation behind the render layer. It is suggested that for ‘sheltered’ or ‘moderate’ exposure, a cavity behind the insulated layer is not required, but a double barrier or cavity or other back-up system is generally required for severe and very severe exposure conditions. Experience from the UK is presented to justify this approach.

This publication has been produced by the Metal Cladding and Roofing Manufacturers Association (MCRMA) in collaboration with BRE, to assist the designers, manufacturers and installers of metal walls and roofs to comply with the requirements of
Approved Document L2 of the Building Regulations, published in October 2001 to come into force in April 2002. It describes the content of those parts of the Approved Document relevant to metal cladding and roofing systems and gives guidance as to:
- The calculation of U-values;
- Allowing for thermal bridging at junctions and openings;
- Infra-red surveys;
- Air leakage testing;
The guidance is designed to be relevant to both twin skin and composite panel systems.

PERFORM 3D is a highly focused nonlinear software tool for earthquake resistant design. Complex structures, including those with intricate shear wall layouts, can be analyzed nonlinearly using a wide variety of deformation-based and strength-based limit states.
Model data can be imported directly from ETABS and SAP2000. A wide variety of element types are supported, including beams (with panel zones), columns, braces, shear walls (with openings), floor slabs, dampers, and isolators.
Nonlinear analyses can be static and/or dynamic, and can be run on the same model. Loads can be applied in any sequence, such as a dynamic earthquake load followed by a static pushover.
PERFORM 3D provides powerful performance based design capabilities, and can calculate demand/capacity (usage) ratios for all components and all limit states. Performance assessment based on ATC-40, FEMA-356 or ATC-440 is fully automated.
PERFORM 3D output includes usage ratio plots, pushover diagrams, energy balance displays, as well as mode shapes, deflected shapes, and time history records of displacements and forces
