This volume in the Greenwood Technographies series covers urban mass transit - that is, the technologies that allow cities to move large numbers of people around. Just a few hundred years ago, the size of cities was limited by the time it took people to move from one part of the city to another. The development of successive technologies has forever altered the urban landscape. From horse-drawn omnibuses to subways to current light-rail, this volume highlights the technological and social struggles that have accompanied urbanization and the need for an efficient and cost-effective means of transportation in cities. Urban Mass Transit: The Life Story of a Technology follows the story of transportation in cities through all stages of its history:
Urbanization and transit by horsepower The introduction of mechanical power to run cable railways Electrification and the ascendance of the trolley The Rise of the motor vehicle and the decline of the trolley Rapid transit and the revival of mass transportation The volume includes a timeline, a glossary, and a bibliography of resources useful for further research.

Computational Geomechanics with Special Reference to Earthquake Engineering
By O. C. Zienkiewicz, A. H. C. Chan, M. Pastor, B. A. Schrefler, T. Shiomi
Publisher: Wiley
Number Of Pages: 398
Publication Date: 1999-05-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0471982857
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780471982852
Computational Geomechanics: introduces the full theory of dynamic and static behaviour of porous media and shows how computation can predict the deformations of a structure, subject to an earthquake or consolidation.
introduces the use of numerical, finite element procedures for soil and rock mechanics problems which has increased rapidly throughout the last decade.
provides a comprehensive survey of major, constitutive models, which can simulate soil behaviour rationally.
explains practical procedures based on computational experience for real projects with particular emphasis on earthquake engineering.
Static problems which occupy a particular area of dynamics can also be solved by identical methods, making the book relevant to all researchers and engineers concerned with geomechanics. Earthquake Engineering is stressed throughout as it is in this field that the most difficult examples arise; however, other applications are also noted

IBC 2009, IRC 2009 and IFC 2009 - International Code Council, Inc.
General Description :
Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date building code addressing the design and installation of
building systems through requirements emphasizing performance.
This comprehensive building code establishes minimum regulations for building systems using prescriptive and performance-
related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new building
designs.
This 2009 edition is fully compatible with all the International Codes® (I-Codes®) published by the International Code
Council (ICC)®, including the ICC Electrical Code®, International Energy Conservation Code®, International Existing Building
Code®, International Fire Code®, International Fuel Gas Code®, International Mechanical Code®, ICC Performance Code®, International
Plumbing Code®, International Private Sewage Disposal Code®, International Property Maintenance Code®, International
Residential Code®, International Wildland-Urban Interface Code™ and International Zoning Code®.

Expansive Soils: Advances in Characterization and Treatment
By Amer Ali Al-Rawas, Mattheus F. A. Goosen
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Number Of Pages: 550
Publication Date: 2006-06-02
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415396816
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415396813
With their ability to swell and shrink in relation to the environment’s water content, expansive soils are considered as geonatural hazards and form a challenge to geotechnical and construction engineers. Addressing the problems associated with these soils, this book provides expert contributions on the recent advances in the characteristics and treatment of expansive soils. Beginning with an overview on the nature, identification, and classification of expansive soils, it confronts current issues including volume change characteristics; site characterization; the measurement and assessment of soil swelling potential; suction; lime and cement stabilization and other stabilization methods.

Structural Vibration, Analysis and Damping
By C. Beards
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
Number Of Pages: 276
Publication Date: 1996-05-31
ISBN / ASIN: 0340645806
Many structures suffer from unwanted vibrations and, although careful analysis at the design stage can minimise these, the vibration levels of many structures are excessive. In this book the entire range of methods of control, both by damping and by excitation, is described in a single volume.
Clear and concise descriptions are given of the techniques for mathematically modelling real structures so that the equations which describe the motion of such structures can be derived. This approach leads to a comprehensive discussion of the analysis of typical models of vibrating structures excited by a range of periodic and random inputs. Careful consideration is also given to the sources of excitation, both internal and external, and the effects of isolation and transmissability. A major part of the book is devoted to damping of structures and many sources of damping are considered, as are the ways of changing damping using both active and passive methods. The numerous worked examples liberally distributed throughout the text, amplify and clarify the theoretical analysis presented. Particular attention is paid to the meaning and interpretation of results, further enhancing the scope and applications of analysis. Over 80 problems are included with answers and worked solutions to most. This book provides engineering students, designers and professional engineers with a detailed insight into the principles involved in the analysis and damping of structural vibration while presenting a sound theoretical basis for further study
