Life Cycle Assessment: Principles, Practice and Prospects
Author: Ralph Horne, Tim Grant, Karli Verghese | Size: 4 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: CSIRO Publishing | Year: 2009 | pages: 175 | ISBN: 9780643094529
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has developed in Australia over the last 20 years into a technique for systematically identifying the resource flows and environmental impacts associated with the provision of products and services. Interest in LCA has accelerated alongside growing demand to assess and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across different manufacturing and service sectors.
Life Cycle Assessment focuses on the reflective practice of LCA, and provides critical insight into the technique and how it can be used as a problem-solving tool. It describes the distinctive strengths and limitations of LCA, with an emphasis on practice in Australia, as well as the application of LCA in waste management, the built environment, water and agriculture. Supported by examples and case studies, each chapter investigates contemporary challenges for environmental assessment and performance improvement in these key sectors.
LCA methodologies are compared to the emerging climate change mitigation policy and practice techniques, and the uptake of ‘quick’ LCA and management tools are considered in the light of current and changing environmental agendas. The authors also debate the future prospects for LCA technique and applications.

Geological Formation Names of China (1866—2000) is the only catalogue on stratigraphic nomenclature for China in the world to keep two writing types (Wade-Giles Romanization and Chinese Phonetic Alphabet) so as to provide convenience for domestic and overseas readers. The catalogue is intended for specialists and graduates in Geosciences and Stratigraphy. Shouxin Zhang (1927 —2006) was stratigrapher and research professor at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This comprehensive manual provides extensive information on the types of revetment available, and provides guidance on the choice and design of these systems. With regard to natural and artificial watercourses, information is included on revetments that incorporate some form of structural protection and revetments, which combine this protection with vegetation to increase the environmental quality of the systems. Extensive use of photographs, flowcharts and diagrams allow the engineer, to choose the most appropriate type of revetment and the most cost-effective design.

The book aims to explain the variations of near-Earth plasma observed over seismically active areas several days/hours before strong seismic shocks. It demonstrates how seismo-ionospheric coupling is part of the global electric circuit and shows that the anomalous electric field appearing in active seismic areas is the main carrier of information from the earth into the ionosphere. The discussion of physical mechanisms is based on experimental data. The results can be regarded as the basis for future applications such as short-term earthquake prediction. It proceeds to describe existing complex systems of space-born and ground-based monitoring for electromagnetic and ionospheric precursors of earthquakes, as well as those still under construction. It is an excellent text for courses and contains a wealth of information for those scientists working in the field of natural disaster reduction.

Author: Standards and Research department | Size: 1.023 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: The Iranian Petroleum Standards | Year: 2009 | pages: 51 | ISBN: none
This Engineering Standard gives general criteria relevant to the planning and design of foundations, as may be encountered in various civil engineering projects in the field of Iranian Petroleum Industries.
The Standard covers shallow and deep foundations generally used in buildings with normal range of complexity, as well as foundations subject to dynamic loads from machinery, and soil improvement techniques.
This standard does not cover the following subjects which are covered in relevant IPS as shown below:
- Foundations of onshore and offshore structures; (see respectively IPS-G-CE-470 and IPS-G-CE-480).
- Special foundations like dams etc.
- The structural aspects of foundations i.e: reinforced concrete structures, (see IPS-E-CE-200).
- Piles, see IPS-E-CE-130.

This Code of Practice provides guidelines for the professionals and practitioners on design, analysis and construction of foundations. It was prepared by the Drafting Committee for the Code of Practice for Foundations convened by the Buildings Department. This Code of Practice is based on the requirements of the Buildings Ordinance and related regulations, and has taken into account the local conditions, work practice and development of new technologies in analysis, design and construction of foundations. Although this Code of Practice is not a statutory document, the compliance with the requirements of this Code of Practice is deemed to satisfy the relevant provisions of the Buildings Ordinance and related regulations. The contributions and efforts given by the invited members of the Drafting Committee in the preparation of this Code of Practice are greatly appreciated.

This new PEER report is the result of further work under the PEER Tall Buildings Initiative to develop modeling recommendations and acceptance criteria for design and analysis of tall buildings. It is intended to serve as a resource document for the Guidelines for Seismic Design of Tall Buildings, published as a companion report by PEER (2010). The report contains a very good insight in nonlinear structural modelling for seismic design and evaluation and hence will be useful for student and practicioner.
