TASCHEN's new architecture series brings a unique perspective to world architecture, highlighting architectural trends by country. Each book features 15 to 20 architects—from the firmly established to the up-and-coming—with the focus on how they have contributed to very recent architecture in the chosen nation. Entries include contact information and short biographies in addition to copiously illustrated descriptions of the architects' or firms' most significant recent projects. Crossing the globe from country to country, this new series celebrates the richly hued architectural personality of each nation featured.

2008-09-04
ISBN: 1420047744
PDF 10 MB
A comprehensive and accessible primer, this tutorial immerses engineers and engineering students in the essential technical skills that will allow them to put Matlab® to immediate use. The book covers concepts such as: functions, algebra, geometry, arrays, vectors, matrices, trigonometry, graphs, pre-calculus and calculus. It then delves into the Matlab language, covering syntax rules, notation, operations, computational programming, and general problem solving in the areas of applied mathematics and general physics. This knowledge can be used to explore the basic applications that are detailed in Misza Kalechman’s companion volume, Practical Matlab Applications for Engineers (cat no. 47760). .

Fluid Physics in Geology. An Introduction to Fluid Motions
info:
Fluid Physics in Geology. An Introduction to Fluid Motions
on Earth's Surface and within Its Crus
by David Jon Furbish
Oxford University Press
1996
ISBN: 0195077016
498 pages
PDF 25 Mb
The book is aimed at those interested in understanding fluid behavior and motion in the context of a wide variety of geological problems. Helpful example problems following each chapter illustrate applications of the material to realistic problems involving groundwater flows, magma dynamics, open-channel flows, and thermal convection.
Fluid Physics in Geology provides an introductory treatment of the physical and dynamical behavior of fluids, considering first how fluids behave in a general way, then looking more specifically at how they are involved in certain geological processes.

Geological and Soil Evidence. Forensic Applications
info:
Geological and Soil Evidence. Forensic Applications
by Kenneth Pye
CRC
2007
ISBN: 0849331463
362 pages
PDF 9 Mb
This book provides an authoritative introduction to the nature and properties of geological and soil materials that may be used as trace evidence and the techniques used to analyze and evaluate them. It emphasizes the use of geoscience in forensic analyses, including geophysical, meteorological, and geomorphological data.
This inclusive book covers material types and analytical strategies used in examining both the common components of geological evidence, such as rocks, dusts, minerals, spores, and microfossils, as well as anthropogenic particles like pottery and brick.
It instructs on particle characterization based on physical, chemical, and mineralogical traits such as color, shape, density, and elemental and isotopic composition. It also explains sampling and handling procedures particular to criminalistics and introduces analysis, evaluation, and decision-making practices based on statistical significance and the weighing of different types of evidence.
The forensic potential of geological and soil evidence has been recognized for more than a century, but recently these types of evidence are used much more widely as an investigative intelligence tool and as evidence in court. There is, however, still a poor understanding of the potential value and the limitations of geological and soil evidence among the forensic science and wider legal communities.
Discussions of basic principles are supported and enhanced with numerous case studies that tie methods of analysis to specific forensic applications. Examples are drawn from the author's own experience as well as the wider scientific literature. Accessible enough for readers with limited scientific knowledge and informative enough for scientists interested in forensic applications, Geological and Soil Evidence: Forensic Applications is a comprehensive reference for the current knowledge of forensic geology and soil science.

Frequency-Domain Approach for Calculating
Wind-Induced Vibration and Aeroelastic Stability Characteristics
of Long-Span Bridges
info:
Risto Kiviluoma: Frequency-Domain Approach for Calculating Wind-Induced Vibration and Aeroelastic Stability Characteristics of Long-Span Bridges
Doctoral dissertation at Helsinki University of Technology
The frequency-domain approach is applied to the aerodynamic and aeroelastic analysis of long-span bridges. Numerical models are deduced for the simultaneous buffeting and flutter analysis and for the vortex and signature turbulence induced response calculation.
The goal, considered to be achieved, is to develop numerical models capable to reliable parametric studies of detailed three-dimensional structural models of bridges. For the models, semi-empirical approach based on aerodynamic data obtained through section model tests in a wind tunnel, is employed. The data consists of the steady aerodynamic coefficients and flutter derivatives of a deck
segment to be used in the buffeting and flutter analysis. A complemental data is suggested to be extracted for the
vortex and signature turbulence induced response calculation.
The simultaneous analysis model for buffeting and flutter uses theoretically complete coupled-mode approach in which most of the unintentional simplifications of earlier models are removed. It has merits for the non-iterative calculation of flutter characteristics and feasibility to efficient computer implementation. The vortex-induced response calculation is based on the band-limited white-noise excitation model while the signature-turbulence model employs approach typical in simplified buffeting analysis of bridge girders. The
vortex-induced vibration calculation model facilitates imperfect spanwise correlation and turbulence reduction effects through mutually simple mathematical formulation. To obtain aerodynamic input parameters for the verification study, wind tunnel tests for the spring supported section model are carried out in a smooth flow. The Instrumental variable method is formulated for acceleration signals and used on evaluating flutter derivatives through coupled-motion experiments. To verify the numerical models, the calculated responses of the Raippaluoto and Kärkinen Bridges, two cable-stayed bridges in Finland involving double I-girder steel-concrete composite deck, are compared with the on-site measurements. Here, the responses and the wind turbulence data are measured on three occasions during storm and strong winds in 1999-2000.

NIED has been constructing 3-D Full-Scale Earthquake Testing Facility, nicknamed "E-Defense" in the city of Miki, to the north of Kobe. Construction of this facility began in 1999 and will be completed in 2005. Therefore, this facility will begin to make its contribution ten years after the Hyogoken Nanbu (Kobe)Earthquake.
The world's largest shaking table, which can simulate high level ground motions, is taking shape in Japan. The opportunities and challenges provided through this facility are great. It will be a focus of full-scale testing of structures due to high-intensity earthquakes. It is a vehicle through which hope and optimism for improving the behavior of urban regions due to earthquakes will get an added boost.
