Pressure Relief Devices
info:
Mohammad A Malek, "Pressure Relief Devices"
MgH | 2005 | ISBN: 007145537X | 475 pages | PDF | 4,2 MB
Within the boiler, piping and pressure vessel industry, pressure relief devices are considered one of the most important safety components. These Devices are literally the last line of defense against catastrophic failure or even lose of life. Written in plain language, this fifth book in the ASME Simplified series addresses the various codes and recommended standards of practice for the maintenance and continued operations of pressure relief valves as specified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Petroleum Institute. Covered in this book are: preventive maintenance procedures, methods for evaluation of mechanical components and accepted methods for cleaning, adjusting and lubricating various components to assure continued operation and speed performance as well as procedures for recording and evaluating these items.

Art and Architecture in Medieval France: Medieval Architecture, Sculpture, Stained Glass, Manuscripts, the Art of the Church Treasuries
Publisher: Harper and Row | ISBN: 0064300226 | edition 1972 | PDF | 432 pages | 78 mb
This is an English-language study on the architecture and art of medieval France of the Romanesque and Gothic periods, approximately 1000 - 1500. In addition to essays on individual monuments there are general discussions of given periods and specific problems such as: why did Gothic come into being? Whitney Stoddard explores the interrelationship between all forms of medieval ecclesiastical art and characterization of the Gothic cathedral, which he believes to have an almost metaphysical basis.

Trends in Continuum Mechanics of Porous Media
Reint de Boer
Publisher: Springer
2005-04-29
ISBN: 1402031432
PDF 2.23 MB
282 pages
In the last decade and, in particular in recent years, the macroscopic porous media theory has made decisive progress concerning the fundamentals of the theory and the development of mathematical models in various fields of engineering and biomechanics. This progress attracted some attention and therefore conferences devoted almost exlusively to the macrosopic porous media theory have been organized in order to collect all findings, to present new results, and to discuss new trends. Also in national and international journals a great number of important contributions have been published which has brought the porous media theory, in some parts, to a close. Therefore, the time seems to be ripe to review the state of the art and to show new trends in the continuum mechanical treatment of saturated and unsaturated capillary and non-capillary porous solids.
This book addresses post-graduate students, scientists, working in engineering, physics and mathematicians. It provides an outline of modern theory of porous media and shows some trends in theory and in applications.

Durability of Building and Construction Sealants and Adhesives
info:
* Publisher:ASTM International * Number Of Pages: 118 * Publication Date: 2006-01 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0803134142 * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780803134140
This publication, Durability of Building and Construction Sealants and Adhesives, contains papers presented at the second symposium of the same name held in Reno, Nevada, on 15-16 June, 2005. The symposium was sponsored by the ASTM International Committee C24 on Building Seals and Sealants. The symposium chairman was Andreas T. Wolf of Dow Coming GmbH, Wiesbaden, Germany.
Twelve peer-reviewed papers cover the latest information, gained from laboratory research and field work, on sealant and adhesive durability and the development of new products and test methods. Topics cover:
Factors Influencing the Durability of Sealed Joints and Adhesive Fixations—these factors include reducing modulus of sealants; calculating differential thermal movement in insulating glass edge seals using finite element analysis; and reducing tin and aminosilane concentration in silicon elastomeric coating
Durability Studies of Sealants and Adhesives—papers discuss the weatherability and durability of one-component sealants; durability of silane curable organic sealants; and durability of two-sided SSG curtain walls under cyclic racking displacements
Development of New Test Methods and Performance Based Specifications—standards development proposals include a practical method to evaluate the fatigue properties of structural silicone glazing adhesives; a novel testing method to study weatherability of construction sealants; the use of optical imaging and an image analysis system to assess surface changes induced in sealants by outdoor weathering; and much more.

The New York City Subway System (Building America: Then and Now)
By Ronald A. Reis
Publisher: Chelsea House Publications 2009-04
136 Pages
ISBN: 1604130466
PDF 3.5 MB
Teeming with a population of 3.5 million at the end of the 19th century, the island of Manhattan couldn't meet the city's demand for rapid transit with its horse-drawn trolleys and elevated train lines. New York City needed a subway system. After four years of digging and diverting miles of utilities and tunneling under the Harlem River, the city's residents celebrated a new era in mass transit on October 27, 1904, with the opening of a nine-mile subway route. In the century to come, the New York subway would grow and expand to a system that runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with 6,400 cars, 468 stations, a daily ridership of 4.5 million, and 842 miles of track - longer than the distance from New York to Chicago. Politics, graffiti, and unbelievable construction challenges combined to make the building and running of the New York subway system one of the America's greatest civic undertakings.
