Construction Process Improvement
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | Pages: 272 | 2003-01-27 | ISBN: 0632064625 | PDF | 2 MB
The construction process has come under intense scrutiny in recent times and this is set to continue as building owners and users demand better value for money from a more sustainable built environment. The construction sector’s actors are responding to the challenges implicit in this drive for greater competitiveness and social responsibility. New forms of procurement, innovation programmes, knowledge management, CAD-supported processes, predictive and diagnostic tools, and many more initiatives are helping to transform the sector.
Construction Process Improvement showcases 21 examples of how directed efforts are being taken to raise productivity and quality, reduce waste and costs, and provide more certain and durable products for the sector’s customers. Each example is the subject of a closely coupled collaborative project in which answers are being sought on matters of strategic importance to companies. The chapters that describe and discuss these projects balance state-of-the-art reviews with details of the work being undertaken and, in many cases, the results that are being implemented within the companies.
Construction Process Improvement deals with issues that matter to best practice companies and researchers in industry and universities. It covers, amongst other topics, modularisation for manufactured housing, life cycle methods in housing, commercial buildings and services installations, tools and techniques for performance prediction and diagnostics, coordination of design and production processes, novel use of traditional materials, new forms of procurement and the role of innovation, public private partnerships, partnering structures, learning organisations, management of major refurbishment, management information systems, TQM and continuous improvement, CAAD methodology, tools and 4-D CAD, and facilities management.
This book analyses the way forward for improving the construction process, in particular the links between research and development and industrial competitiveness. The implementation of new methods and thinking in companies is examined and important advice for senior managers and researchers is offered.

How Buildings Work: The Natural Order of Architecture
Oxford University Press | ISBN: 019516198X | September 1, 2005 | 288 pages | PDF | 15 MB
Illustrated with hundreds of illuminating line drawings, this classic guide reveals virtually every secret of a building's function: how it stands up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies--and why some buildings do this so much better than others. Drawing on things he's learned from the many buildings he himself designed (and in some cases built with his own hands)

I suggest to all colleagues, if every post is not correct with the TITLE and the link is not correct too, that post and poster (who upload) must be warn !
If the posting still not revised by the poster, I suggest the files must be DELETE from this forum soon..

Seeing the request of some user to upload again an autocad file in an earlier format i understand that maybe not all users know this free utility of Autodesk. This is the last version and every one can download it for converting dwg files (in batch mode too).
Don't forget - the Autocad versions 2000 and 2002 use the 2000 format, 2004, 2005. 2006 the 2004 format and from 2007 until 2010 the 2007 format.
Seismic Demands for Performance-Based Design of Bridges
The objective of this report was the development of an optimal PSDM for typical highway overpass bridges. An optimal model is defined as one that is practical, sufficient, effective, and efficient. For single-bent bridges with roller abutments, the optimal model
comprises a spectral IM, such as Sa(T1) and one of several EDPs. Different EDPs are considered for local (material stress), intermediate (column moment), and global (drift ratio) response quantities. Given the optimal PSDMs, bridge design parameter (such as column diameter) sensitivity studies were performed. Relations for each design parameter can be developed, giving bridge designers a quantitative tool for evaluating the effect of design choices on structural performance. The same PSDMs were then re-computed using incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) to assess the equivalency of response produced using the two analysis methods. Selection of an optimal PSDM was then extended to the case of multiple-bent bridges and bridges with different abutment models
