Osaka office building has highway built right into it
Overview
Gate Tower Building is a 16-story office building in Fukushima-ku, Osaka, Japan. And what makes it notable is the highway that passes through the 5th-7th floors of this building.
The building has a double core construction, with a circular cross section. The Umeda Exit of the Ikeda Route of the Hanshin Expressway system (when exiting the highway from the direction of Ikeda) passes through the fifth through seventh floors of this building. The highway is the tenant of those floors. The elevator passes through the floors without stopping, floor 4 being followed by floor 8. The floors through which the highway passes consist of elevators, stairways and machinery. The highway does not make contact with the building. It passes through as a bridge, held up by supports next to the building. The highway is surrounded by a structure to protect the building from noise and vibration. The roof has a heliport.
The building has a double core construction, with a circular section and special care is taken by providing surrounded structure to the highway to protect the building from noise and vibration.
Motive
“Wood and charcoal industry” held the property rights for this plot of land since the early Meiji period, but the gradual move to other sources of fuel resulted in those company buildings deteriorating. In 1983, the redevelopment of this area was decided upon, but building permits were refused because the highway was already being planned to be built over this land. The property rights' holders refused to give up, and negotiated with the “Hanshin Expressway Corporation” for approximately 5 years to reach the current solution.
Although normally highway corporations purchase the land they build a highway on or over, it is not guaranteed to succeed and therefore issues like this can arise.
For that reason, the highway laws, city planning laws, city redevelopment laws and building codes were partly revised in 1989 to permit a so-called Multi-Level Road System that allows the unified development of highways and buildings in the same space. This system was originally designed to facilitate the construction of the second Ring Road in the vicinity of Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, but in the end was not applied there. Instead, the system was put into effect in the construction of the Gate Tower Building, becoming Japan's first building to have a highway pass through it. Normally highways are still built underground in these cases, and passing through a building is an extremely rare occurrence.
This book developed from annual course on the genesis of joints in rocks, in the department of rock engineering at the University of Technology, Graz, Austria. As joints are fractures which, barren or filled with fluid or minerals, interrupt the continuity of rock bodies, the development of these features is a mechanical process. Hence, the course and, in more detail this book, deal with the mechanical genesis of joints.

The Current limitations of displacement based design.
ABSTRACT
Displacement based design methods are emerging as the latest tool for performance based seismic design. Of the many different displacement based design procedures proposed in recent years there are few that are developed to a standard suitable for implementation in modern design codes. throudh application to various case studies this report identifies and discusses the difficulties a designer may encounter when trying to use displacement based design. It is hoped that by presenting these limitations efforts will be made to develop the methods further so that designers can begin using the methods with ease and confidence

Analytical Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems
Analytical Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems
Springer; 1 edition (August 26, 2004) | ISBN: 3540222472 | 538 pages | PDF | 11 MB
"The main aim of the present book is to show the usefulness of analytical methods, in a world, which focuses more and more on numerical methods. … The book is written for graduate students and engineers. … At the end of every chapter, problems are shown, which the reader may solve to check his/her knowledge." (Claudia-Veronika Meister, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1073, 2005)
"The intention of the author of this modest little book is to provide a guide for analytic methods for the solution of heat transfer problems. … A list of symbols is provided at the start, some 200 references are cited, and there is a shortish index. … The author intends his book for graduate students and engineers. … It will mainly serve as a reference for those interested in technical heat transfer calculations." (A. C. Fowler, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 547, 2006)
"The main aim of this book is to ‘show the usefulness of analytical methods in a world which focuses more and more on numerical methods (in heat transfer and fluid flow)’. The intended readership is researchers from the relevant engineering community and their students. … the mathematician can use the book as an entrée to selected parts of the engineering literature, both theoretical and experimental." (J. R. Ockendon, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2005 h)
"Analytical methods for heat transfer and fluid flow problems is designed to show the usefulness of analytical methods for solving problems … . The book’s target audience is engineers and engineering students, people with a good understanding of basic engineering mathematics. … The book is laid out clearly, making good use of tables and graphs when necessary. All problems are solved in clear steps … . It’s a useful reference for those working in this field … ." (Ragan Nelson, The Chemical Engineer, October, 2006)

ACI 350-01 - Code Req. for Environmental Engineering Concrete Structures
CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING CONCRETE STRUCTURES
(ACI 350-01) AND COMMENTARY (ACI 350R-01)
398 pages - PDF - Excellent quality
REPORTED BY ACI COMMITTEE 350
The code portion of this document covers the structural design, materials selection, and construction of environmental engineering concrete structures. Such structures are used for conveying, storing, or treating liquid, wastewater, or other materials, such as solid waste. They include ancillary structures for dams, spillways, and channels.
They are subject to uniquely different loadings, more severe exposure conditions and more restrictive serviceability requirements than normal building structures.
Loadings include normal dead and live loads and vibrating equipment or hydrodynamic forces. Exposures include concentrated chemicals, alternate wetting and drying, and freezing and thawing of saturated concrete. Serviceability requirements include liquid-tightness or gas-tightness.
Typical structures include conveyance, storage, and treatment structures. Proper design, materials, and construction of environmental engineering concrete structures are required to produce serviceable concrete that is dense, durable, nearly impermeable, resistant to chemicals, with limited deflections and cracking. Leakage must be controlled to minimize contamination of ground water or the environment, to minimize loss of product or infiltration, and to promote durability.
This code presents new material as well as modified portions of the ACI 318-95 Building Code that are applicable to environmental engineering concrete structures.
Because ACI 350-01 is written as a legal document, it may be adopted by reference in a general building code or in regulations governing the design and construction of environmental engineering concrete structures.
Thus it cannot present background details or suggestions for carrying out its requirements or intent. It is the function of the commentary to fill this need.
