"House Rating Schemes" provides information to students, architects and researchers in the field of the built environment. It reviews current House Rating Schemes (HRS) used in different countries and investigates how these schemes assess the thermal performance of a house. It challenges the way that these schemes assess building energy efficiency and their inability to evaluate free running buildings which do not need an energy load for heating and cooling indoor environments. Finally, the book proposes a new index and method for HRS in which the efficiency of a house design can be evaluated with reference to its thermal performance in both free running and conditioned operation modes. The book deals with various approaches and methods for rating buildings on the basis of different indexes, with implications for both energy efficiency and thermal comfort. It also guides readers through a computer simulation program for developing a rating system that evaluates and ranks building energy efficiency.

Focusing on the design process of today's most noteworthy architects, Sketch Plan Build explores the reasoning, resources, and influences behind the projects of today's most recognized architects. This book is a primary tool for understanding the different traits and nuances each architect uses to express their own ideas. With international projects from world renowned architects such as Tadao Ando, Coop Himmellau, and Renzo Piano, and with detailed sketches, drawings, and photographs for each project, Sketch Plan Build is sure to provide a comprehensive compendium for all those interested in how an inspired idea makes the journey from projection to construction.

This European Standard covers the design of devices that are provided in structures, with the aim of
modifying their response to the seismic action. It specifies functional requirements and general design rules
for the seismic situation, material characteristics, manufacturing and testing requirements, as well as
evaluation of conformity, installation and maintenance requirements. This European Standard covers the
types of devices and combinations thereof as defined in 3.4.
NOTE Additional information concerning the scope of this European Standard is given in Annex A.

EN 2243-1:2005
Aerospace series - Non-metallic materials - Structural adhesives - Test method - Part 1: Single lap shear
The objective of this standard is to establish the test methods for defining the strength of suitable structural adhesives in metal to metal single lap shear, at ambient and other temperatures.
EN 2243-2:2005
Aerospace series - Non-metallic materials - Structural adhesives - Test method - Part 2: Peel metal-metal
This standard defines the general requirements for the determination of strength of structural adhesives by testing in peel metal to metal joints, at ambient or other temperatures.
This method is not suitable for adhesives having an average peeling strength of less than 30 N per 25 mm.
EN 2243-3:2005
Aerospace series - Non-metallic materials - Structural adhesives - Test method - Part 3: Peeling test metal-honeycomb core
This standard defines the general requirements for the determination of strength of structural adhesives by testing in peel metal to honeycomb core joints, at ambient or other temperatures.
EN 2243-4:2005
Aerospace series - Non-metallic materials - Structural adhesives - Test method - Part 4: Metal-honeycomb core flatwise tensile test
This standard defines the general requirements for the determination of strength of structural adhesives by testing in tension metal to honeycomb core joints, at ambient or other temperatures.
Two types of test pieces are defined:
Type A: direct bonding of honeycomb to facing blocks;
Type B: bonding of honeycomb between the two facing sheets, then bonding of the whole to the facing blocks.

Maurice Schwartz, Editor of the much acclaimed Encyclopedia of Beaches and Coastal Environments (Hutchinson Ross, 1982) has now brought forth a new volume with a fresh interdisciplinary approach that includes geomorphology, ecology, engineering, technology, oceanography, and human activities as they relate to coasts. Within its covers the Encyclopedia of Coastal Science includes many aspects of the coastal sciences that are only to be found scattered among scientific literature.

Author: Martin H. Trauth, E. Sillmann, Robin Gebbers, Norbert Marwan | Size: 4.4 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2006 | pages: 241 | ISBN: 3540279830
MATLAB is used in a wide range of applications in geosciences, such as image processing in remote sensing, generation and processing of digital elevation models and the analysis of time series. This book introduces basic methods of data analysis in geosciences using MATLAB. The text includes a brief description of each method and numerous examples demonstrating how MATLAB can be used on data sets from earth sciences. All MATLAB recipes can be easily modified in order to analyse the reader's own data sets.
This book introduces some of the most important methods of data analysis in earth sciences by means of MATLAB examples. The examples can be used as recipes for the analysis of the reader as real data after learning their application on synthetic data. The introductory Chapter 1 deals with data acquisition (Chapter 1.2), the expected data types (Chapter 1.3) and the suitable methods for analyzing data in the field of earth sciences (Chapter 1.4). Therefore, we first explore the characteristics of a typical data set. Subsequently, we proceed to investigate the various ways of analyzing data with MATLAB.
