The Whole Building Handbook: How to Design Healthy, Efficient and Sustainable Buildings
Earthscan Publications Ltd. | March 2010 | ISBN-10: 1844075230 | 702 pages | PDF | 85.5 MB
This book is a compendium of all the issues and strategies that architects need to understand to design and construct sustainable buildings for a sustainable society. The authors move beyond the current definition of sustainability in architecture, which tends to focus on energy-efficiency, to include guidance for architecture that promotes social cohesion, personal health, renewable energy sources, water and waste recycling systems, permaculture, energy conservation--and crucially, buildings in relation to their place.

Writing in engineering: A guide to communicating
Mavrow, C. (1994).
McGraw-Hill Ryerson | ISBN 0075517159 | 198 p. | PDF (OCR) | 8.77 MB
Writing is an increasingly large part of the engineering process, with many professional engineers spending over 60 percent of their time writing letters, memos, proposals, reports, and specification documents. The trend in many government and engineering firms now is to hire technicians for the technical work. Fifteen years ago, one city that had a population of 100,000 people employed eight engineers. It now employs three, and 20 certified technicians.
Writing is a skill that, like any other, can be developed. When you are learning to ski, you can watch the Olympic slalom, you might take lessons and have the pros tell you to “plant your pole, unweight, and turn,” the instructor might demonstration a mogul for you—and then you can put on the skis and fall flat on your face. Before you master skiing, you have to slide down the hill a few times, trying to plant the pole and bend the knees, learning to turn and stop. This is a good analogy for writing: you need to learn the basics, understand what is expected, and then write and rewrite until the words run effortlessly on the page.
Some experts say that one can't write well—cannot write clean, coherent English—without reading well-written books, books that have been written with “force and freshness.” Yes, good reading is important (and some good reports by experienced engineers are works of art), but most of us have read Shakespeare and we still do not write well. Attention, care, concentration, observation, effort, revision—and practice, practice, practice—will steadily improve your skill in technical writing.
This book is based on the premise that with knowledge of some basic writing principles, and how they apply to the special writing tasks that engineers are called upon to perform, engineering students can prepare themselves for the responsibilities they will face in this field today.

Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings By Bungale S. Taranath
Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings
By Bungale S. Taranath
* Publisher: CRC Press
* Number Of Pages: 1024
* Publication Date: 2009-12-14
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 143980480X
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781439804803
An exploration of the world of concrete as it applies to the construction of buildings, Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings provides a practical perspective on all aspects of reinforced concrete used in the design of structures, with particular focus on tall and ultra-tall buildings. Written by Dr. Bungale S. Taranath, this work explains the fundamental principles and state-of-the-art technologies required to build vertical structures as sound as they are eloquent. Dozens of cases studies of tall buildings throughout the world, many designed by Dr. Taranath, provide in-depth insight on why and how specific structural system choices are made.
The book bridges the gap between two approaches: one based on intuitive skills and experience and the other based on computer skills and analytical techniques. Examining the results when experiential intuition marries unfathomable precision, this book discusses:
The latest building codes, including ASCE/SEI 7-05, IBC-06/09, ACI 318-05/08, and ASCE/SEI 41-06 Recent developments in studies of seismic vulnerability and retrofit design Earthquake hazard mitigation technology, including seismic base isolation, passive energy dissipation, and damping systems Lateral bracing concepts and gravity-resisting systems Performance based design trends Dynamic response spectrum and equivalent lateral load procedures

Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Molecular Simulation
"Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Molecular Simulation"
Mark E. Tuckerman,
Oxford University Press | 2010 | ISBN: 0198525265 | 712 pages
PDF | 10 MB
Complex systems that bridge the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science can be studied at an unprecedented level of detail using increasingly sophisticated theoretical methodology and high-speed computers. The aim of this book is to prepare burgeoning users and developers to become active participants in this exciting and rapidly advancing research area by uniting for the first time, in one monograph, the basic concepts of equilibrium and time-dependent statistical mechanics with the modern techniques used to solve the complex problems that arise in real-world applications. The book contains a detailed review of classical and quantum mechanics, in-depth discussions of the most commonly used ensembles simultaneously with modern computational techniques such as molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo, and important topics including free-energy calculations, linear-response theory, harmonic baths and the generalized Langevin equation, critical phenomena, and advanced conformational sampling methods. Burgeoning users and developers are thus provided firm grounding to become active participants in this exciting and rapidly advancing research area, while experienced practitioners will find the book to be a useful reference tool for the field.
