Milo, "The Green Building Bottom Line: The Real Cost of Sustainable Building"
2008 | ISBN-10: 0071599215 | 384 Pages | PDF | 2,7 MB
As any builder knows, cost estimation and reality are often two very different things. The Green Building Bottom Line makes the case for green building by providing the insights and data that demonstrate the true costs and benefits of building green. It's a “why to” and a “how to” that explores everything from the ground up.

Mechanics of Materials and Interfaces: The Disturbed State Concept
info:
Chandrakant S. Desai, "Mechanics of Materials and Interfaces: The Disturbed State Concept"
CRC; 1 edition (December 20, 2000) | English | 084930248X | 712 pages | PDF | 16.44 MB
The disturbed state concept (DSC) is a unified, constitutive modelling approach for engineering materials that allows for elastic, plastic, and creep strains, microcracking and fracturing, stiffening or healing, all within a single, hierarchical framework. Its capabilities go well beyond other available material models yet lead to significant simplifications for practical applications. Until now, however, there has been no resource that fully describes the theory, techniques, and potential of this powerful method.
Mechanics of Materials and Interfaces: Disturbed State Concept presents a detailed theoretical treatment of the DSC and shows that it can provide a unified and simplified approach for mathematical characterization of the mechanical response of materials and interfaces. Within this comprehensive treatment, the author:
* Compares the DSC with other available modelsoIdentifies the physical meaning of the relevant parameters and presents procedures to determine them from laboratory test data
* Validates the DSC models with respect to laboratory tests used to find the parameters and independent tests not used in the calibrationoImplements the models in computer procedures
* Validates those procedures by comparing predictions with observations from simulated and field boundary value problems
* Solves problems from a variety of disciplines, including civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering
If you are involved in the mechanics of materials, you owe it to yourself to explore the disturbed state concept. Mechanics of Materials and Interfaces provides the first-and to date, the only-comprehensive means of doing so.

These proceedings are a continuation of the series of International Conferences in Germany entitled "Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils." The primary objective is to discuss and understand unsaturated soil behaviour such that engineered activities are made better with times in terms of judgement and quality. We all realise by now that in addition to the knowledge on the classical concepts, it becomes an enormous challenging task to adapt convincing new concepts and present them in such a way that it could be used in engineering practices.
The experimental studies reported primarily focus on the role of microstructure and fabric for the complex coupled hydro-mechanical behaviour of cohesive frictional materials. Several papers consider the relevance of temperature affecting the constitutive behaviour of clays. Common features of state of the art theoretical and numerical approaches, including theory of porous media and mixture theory, intend to describe the complex multi-field problems of fully coupled thermo-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical initial - boundary value problems. Applications include highly toxic waste disposals, slope stability problems and contaminants transport in porous media.
These proceedings would have been not possible without financial support by the German Research Foundation (DFG). We gratefully acknowledge the support of ISSMGE, especially TC6 "Unsaturated Soils."
