Once there was a question raised about posting mirror links. Question similar to this:
Quote:Should we make mirror links inspite Kowheng and Grunf makes mirror links faster then all other members of this forum? The two of them makes response to most (if not to all) threads with dead links.
The answer is YES. You are more then welcome to make mirror links for download material posted to CivilEA. Mirror links keeps threads alive. There is a possibility that Kowheng's or links made by me become dead/ inactive/ deleted in time, but yours can be those good ones and alive.
Because of some situations here - I have to say this - please post your mirror links (just new ones, made by you and with related info) according to the rules of this forum. If you are not sure on how to post correctly, just look to some Forum Staff posts and post like them or in similar way. Still if you aren't sure on how to make one good post, you are always free and welcome to contact Forum Staff (Admin, Protectors, Moderators, etc.)
the construction industry:
bars (including hammer-forged bars);
wide flats;
hot-rolled strip and sheet/plate;
forgings.
They are manufactured from the direct hardening non alloy steels for quenching and tempering and the direct
hardening alloy steels for quenching and tempering and supplied in one of the heat treatment conditions given
for the different types of products in Table 1.
These steels are generally intended for the manufacture of quenched and tempered parts, but can also be
used in the normalized condition.
The requirements for mechanical properties are restricted to part sizes given in Tables 4 and 5.
NOTE 1 In accordance with EN 10020, the steels covered by this standard are quality and special steels. The
differences between quality and special steels are characterized by the following requirements, which are valid for special
steels only:
the minimum impact values in the quenched and tempered condition (for non alloy special steels in the case of mean
percentages by mass of carbon < 0,50 % only);
limited oxide inclusion content;
lower maximum contents for phosphorus and sulphur.
NOTE 2 This standard does not apply for bright steel products.
NOTE 3 This standard only applies for the manufacture of products without any further cold or hot forming and no
additional heat treatment, i.e. the properties are according to the delivery condition (+N, +QT).
In addition to the specifications of this European Standard, the general technical delivery conditions given in
EN 10021 will be applicable unless otherwise specified

Since the appearance of the first edition of 'Energy Simulation in Building Design', the use of computer-based appraisal tools to solve energy design problems within buildings has grown rapidly. A leading figure in this field, Professor Joseph Clarke has updated his book throughout to reflect these latest developments. The book now includes material on combined thermal/lighting and CFD simulation, advanced glazings, indoor air quality and photovoltaic components. This thorough revision means that the book remains the key text on simulation for architects, building engineering consultants and students of building engineering and environmental design of buildings. The book's purpose is to help architects, mechanical & environmental engineers and energy & facility managers to understand and apply the emerging computer methods for options appraisal at the individual building, estate, city, region and national levels. This is achieved by interspersing theoretical derivations relating to simulation within an evolving description of the built environment as a complex system. The premise is that the effective application of any simulation tool requires a thorough understanding of the domain it addresses.
Audience:
Senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of building design engineering, architecture, computer aided engineering, environmental engineering and mechanical engineering at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level. Energy and facilities managers, simulation consultants and architects.

The book gives an overview of the dynamic behavior of dislocations and its relation to plastic deformation. It introduces the general properties of dislocations and treats the dislocation dynamics in some detail. Finally, examples are described of the processes in different classes of materials, i.e. semiconductors, ceramics, metals, intermetallic materials, and quasicrystals. The processes are illustrated by many electron micrographs of dislocations under stress and by video clips taken during in situ straining experiments in a high-voltage electron microscope showing moving dislocations. Thus, the users of the book also obtain an immediate impression and understanding of dislocation dynamics.
