It’s easy building green!
This guide helps environmentally conscious people make real-world decisions about building or remodeling a home. Readers will find information on how to save money by going green when building or remodeling, how to find the right green integrated system design, how to choose heating and cooling equipment, and how to save money on water.
·Focuses on the design integration of green materials
·Residential and commercial green building will grow from 2% of the U.S.
construction market in 2005 to as much as 10% in 2010 (NAHB)
·More than 80 regional and local green building programs are in place in the U.S. and more are being promoted in the private sector

Basic Well Log Analysis for Geologists By George B. Asquith, Charles R. Gibson
Publisher: American Association of Petroleum Geologists | Pages: 216 | 1993-08-01 | ISBN: 0891816526 | PDF | 4.9 MB
Basic Well Log Analysis is a general introduction to common openhole logging measurements, both wire line and MWD/LWD, and the interpretation of those measurements to determine the traditional analytical goals of porosity, fluid saturation, and lithology/mineralogy. It is arranged by the interpretation goals of the data, rather than by the underlying physics of the measurements.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains digital versions of the data from the case studies, a summary guide to the measurements and their interpretation, and a simple spreadsheet containing some of the more common interpretation algorithms.
This Second Edition of Basic Well Log Analysis delivers a great impact on training and self-training along with superior workbook exercises, newer measurements, borehole imaging, and nuclear magnetic resonance in separate chapters, all directed to provide a guide through the lengthy and sometimes ambiguous terminology of well logging and petrophysics. It provides readers with interpretation examples (and solutions) so that the techniques described here can be practiced.

Finite Element Methods for Engineers
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company | Pages: 171 | 1996-03 | ISBN 1860940161 | PDF | 7 MB
Professor Fenner's definitive text is now back in print, with added corrections. It serves as an introduction to finite element methods for engineering undergraduates and other students at an equivalent level. Postgraduate and practising engineers will also find it useful if they are comparatively new to finite element methods.
The main emphasis is on the simplest methods suitable for solving two-dimensional continuum mechanics problems, particularly those encountered in the fields of stress analysis, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Complete FORTRAN programs are presented, described and discussed in detail, and several practical case studies serve to illustrate the methods developed in the book.
Finite element methods are compared and contrasted with finite difference methods, and throughout the level of computer programming, continuum mechanics, numerical analysis, matrix algebra and other mathematics employed corresponds to that normally covered in undergraduate engineering courses.

ABSTRACT: Simple quasi-static treatment of wind loading, which is universally applied to design of typical low to medium-rise structures, can be unacceptably conservative for design of very tall buildings. On the other hand such simple treatment can easily lead to erroneous results and under-estimations. More importantly such a simplified treatment for deriving lateral loads does not address key design issues including dynamic response (effects of resonance, acceleration, damping, structural stiffness), interference from other structures, wind directionality, and cross wind response, which are all important factors in wind design of tall buildings. This paper provides an outline of advanced levels of wind design, in the context of the Australian
Wind Code, and illustrates the exceptional benefits it offers over simplified approaches. Wind tunnel testing, which has the potential benefits of further refinement in deriving design wind loading and its effects on tall buildings, is also emphasized.

Civil Engineering Principles and Practice Exam Review-Video Course
Civil Engineering Principles and Practice Exam Review
The following reviews were specifically prepared for the field of Civil Engineering.
They were prepared for the Principles and Practices exam.
HOW TO USE THESE TAPES:
For each of the presentations you will find
Tape presentations (Real Video or AVI)
Original notes to accompany the presentation. (PDF)
We suggest that you first download the notes and print them out before viewing the videos. The video presentations are not that clear, and it is easy to get lost without a hard copy of the notes to follow. If you really don't wish to print out the notes, a second suggestion is that you open two instances of your browser on the screen, and use one to display the talking head, and the other to display the notes.
