Ocean Waves. The Stochastic Approach

Cambridge Ocean Technology Series (No. 6)
Cambridge University Press | 1998 | ISBN: 052101767X | 311 pages | djvu | 2 Mb
This book describes the stochastic method for ocean wave analysis. This method provides a route to predicting the characteristics of random ocean waves - information vital for the design and safe operation of ships and ocean structures.
This book will be suitable as a text for graduate students of naval, ocean and coastal engineering. It will also serve as a useful reference for research scientists and engineers working in this field.
• Deals in detail with ocean waves from the successful and modern approach of probabilistic prediction
• Includes information useful for designers of ships, offshore structures and harbours
• Internationally respected author
Assuming a basic knowledge of probability theory, the book begins with a chapter describing the essential elements of wind-generated random seas from the stochastic point of view. The following three chapters introduce spectral analysis techniques, probabilistic predictions of wave amplitudes, wave height and periodicity. A further four chapters discuss sea severity, extreme sea state, the directional wave energy spreading in random seas and special wave events such as wave breaking and group phenomena. Finally the stochastic properties of non-Gaussian waves are presented. Useful appendices and an extensive reference list are included. Examples of practical applications of the theories presented can be found throughout the text.

STAAD.Pro allows structural engineers to analyze and design virtually any type of structure through its flexible modeling environment, advanced features and fluent data collaboration.
Flexible modeling is provided by a state-of-the-art graphical environment and the design supports over 70 international codes and over 20 U.S. codes in 7 languages.
An array of advanced analysis and design features are included such as nuclear certification for 10CFR Part 50, 10CFR 21, ASME NQA-1-2000, time history and push over analysis and cable (linear and non-linear) analysis.
Efficiencies are gained through the ability to maintain and streamline current workflows with fluent data collaboration. STAAD.Pro integrates with other Bentley products such as STAAD.foundation and ProSteel and OpenSTAAD is provided for integration with third party programs.
Increased client base and therefore business growth can be realized in using STAAD.Pro to serve a broad spectrum of projects and a global market.

Understanding the Construction Client
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | ISBN: 1405129786 | edition 2006 | PDF | 328 pages | 11 mb
This book breaks new ground by creating a framework to understand clients' actions and needs. Most construction management books focus on improving the construction process; this one focuses on a better engagement with the client. It challenges conceptions of both the construction industry and clients' businesses so that a more effective process and greater client satisfaction can be achieved. The book suggests that 'buildings are not about building but about changing and developing the client'. The technical, organisational and psychological aspects of this are described and analysed in detail so that current experience can be explained and better practice determined.

Dictionary of Islamic Architecture
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415213320 | edition 1999 | PDF | 352 pages | 5 mb
This resource provides an alphabetically arranged overview of the history of Islamic architecture. It consists of hundreds of entries focusing on geographical, archaeological, historical, and architectural terminology (from many languages). Every entry begins with a simple, one-sentence definition (for some technical terms there is no further explanation); most then continue with an expanded explanation from one paragraph to multiple pages in length.Many of the longer entries also include limited "Further reading" lists and "See also" references to other terms. Accompanying most entries are illustrations in the form of photographs, plans, maps, and drawings: these are especially effective when discussing architectural details unique to Islamic buildings. Critics may question the selection of entries on specific monuments, the paucity of information on modern developments, and the lack of a detailed index. However, considering its well-illustrated broad coverage of the subject and inclusion of the non-Arab Islamic world, this volume will prove an invaluable addition to any library with an interest in architecture or Islamic studies.

The first practical design book for the structural engineer using the new Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method.
This innovative design guide discusses the Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method for earthquake resistant steel structures recently developed by author Subhash C. Goel and his associates. PBPD is a direct design method that produces final designs requiring no or minimal iteration as opposed to what is generally required in current practice.
The PBPD method produces structures with targeted and predictable response in a direct manner.The text is filled with formulas, tables, and drawings to assist the practicing engineer as well as graduate student in understanding this highly technical, yet innovative and effective, design method.
