Standard 90.1 provides minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of buildings and building systems. It applies to all buildings except low-rise residential buildings (low- rise means three habitable floors or less). The Standard is written in building code language and is intended for adoption by national, state/province, and local code jurisdictions. The Standard specifies reasonable design practices and technologies that minimize energy consumption without sacrificing either the comfort or productivity of the occupants. The Standard is broad in scope and the requirements are appropriate for a wide range of building types, climate zones, and for a variety of site conditions. When designing a specific building on a specific site for a specific climate, design issues will undoubtedly have to be addressed that go beyond those considered in developing the Standard.

Volume 14. Risk, Governance and Society
The collected papers in this volume integrate the results from current research efforts in earthquake engineering with research from the larger risk assessment community. The authors include researchers from the major U.S. earthquake centers and some from abroad as well as programmers and analysts from leading insurance and risk assessment firms. Four key components of risk assessment and decision support software are analyzed in detail in the papers: treatment of uncertainty, loss assessment, modeling of seismic mitigation strategies, and visualization of risk and uncertainty. Contributions come from senior experts in the natural hazards research community, as well as from senior scholars from other related fields. The volume lays out a road map for future developments in seismic risk modeling and decision support and helps earthquake engineering researchers position their work within the family of risk analysis tools and techniques.

Author: G.R. Liu and N. T. Trong | Size: 16.7 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2010 | pages: 691 | ISBN: 1439820279
Generating a quality finite element mesh is difficult and often very time-consuming. Mesh-free methods operations can also be complicated and quite costly in terms of computational effort and resources. Developed by the authors and their colleagues, the smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) only requires a triangular/tetrahedral mesh to achieve more accurate results, a generally higher convergence rate in energy without increasing computational cost, and easier auto-meshing of the problem domain. Drawing on the authors’ extensive research results, Smoothed Finite Element Methods presents the theoretical framework and development of various S-FEM models.
After introducing background material, basic equations, and an abstracted version of the FEM, the book discusses the overall modeling procedure, fundamental theories, error assessment matters, and necessary building blocks to construct useful S-FEM models. It then focuses on several specific S-FEM models, including cell-based (CS-FEM), node-based (NS-FEM), edge-based (ES-FEM), face-based (FS-FEM), and a combination of FEM and NS-FEM (αFEM). These models are then applied to a wide range of physical problems in solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, viscoelastoplasticity, plates, piezoelectric structures, heat transfer, and structural acoustics.
Requiring no previous knowledge of FEM, this book shows how computational methods and numerical techniques like the S-FEM help in the design and analysis of advanced engineering systems in rapid and cost-effective ways since the modeling and simulation can be performed automatically in a virtual environment without physically building the system. Readers can easily apply the methods presented in the text to their own engineering problems for reliable and certified solutions.
