Product Description:
* Provides practical solutions to the challenge of modeling and analyzing rock masses
* Consolidates a wealth of previously published technical papers on the subject and introduces previously unseen material
This authoritative title is a key reference for any Geo-engineer. Rock masses differ considerably from man-made materials, and their properties can vary with location, direction and time. As a result there is a critical need to capture these variations via modeling and analysis.
Zhu and Zhao provide an expert introduction to the techniques and analytical methods needed for studying underground excavations in fractured rock masses. The book brings together previously published and new material to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date reference.
* Provides practical solutions to the challenge of modeling and analyzing rock masses
* Consolidates a wealth of previously published technical papers on the subject and introduces previously unseen material

This new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to every aspect of the technology of low-rise construction. It includes sub-structure (site work, setting out and foundations) and superstructure (flooring, roofs, finishes, fittings and fixtures). The material here covers the first year course requirement of all courses on which construction technology is taught - no matter what the ultimate qualification.
It offers tried and tested solutions to a range of construction problems and is organised following the sequence of construction. It will show what has been done in the past, demonstrating good practice - what works and what doesn't - and common faults. There are summaries of the more important BSI documents and reference to the latest building regulations.
Lengthy explanations are avoided by relying heavily on hundreds of illustrations, pairing detail drawings with clear photographs to show real life construction situations.

Autodesk® ImageModeler™ image-based modeling and photogrammetry software generates 3D models from 2D digital images, giving architects, designers, and entertainment content creators a new approach to 3D modeling.
Bridging the 2D and 3D worlds, Autodesk ImageModeler enables you to capture the reality as-built, take measurements of buildings, and easily create photorealistic 3D models. Editing, modeling, and texturing tools allow you to further edit, refine, and texture your rendered objects. Your 3D objects can then be exported into different formats.
Autodesk® ImageModeler™ image-based modeling software enables architects, designers, and entertainment content creators to quickly and easily create 3D models from 2D digital images or panoramas.
Use ImageModeler to capture the reality as-built:
* * Reconstruct photorealistic objects, scenes, and cities
* Integrate CAD projects with existing environments
* Take measurements of buildings
The software’s easy-to-learn, three-step workflow—calibration, modeling, and texturing—lets you achieve, stunning, photorealistic modeling with real-world accuracy. Additionally, ImageModeler 2009 offers support for Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk® Maya®, and AutoCAD® software.
Calibration
Calibrate the software for one to many pictures by matching a few points between the images. There is no need to input information about the camera.
Modeling
The modeling tools in ImageModeler are simple. A 3D model is generated using polygonal primitives. This model can then be refined by the user and detail added.
Texturing
Photorealistic texture maps are automatically extracted from the pixel information of the source images.

Structural Engineering Documents (SED)
A SED is a document of about 100 pages that makes technical information available, which is not provided by other associations or bodies. Each volume is written by one or several specialists and presents a comprehensive study on a specific theme in structural engineering.
The SEDs provide practical information in the form of reports of high scientific and technical standards on a wide range of structural engineering topics.
The readership includes practising structural engineers, teachers and students at a university level, as well as representatives of owners, operators and builders.
The SED Editorial Board is responsible for the planning and selection of technical contributions for the Association's series 'Structural Engineering Document' (SED).

Product Description:
Steel Concrete Composite Bridges outlines the various forms that modern steel-concrete composite bridges take, from simple beam bridges through to arches and trusses and modern cable stay forms. It brings together a wide variety of steel-concrete composite bridge types, many of which have not been covered in any existing book or design guide. It outlines design rules for composite action and provides examples of their use in a wide variety of practical applications. It shows how composite bridges may be designed simply from basic concepts without the need for a clause by clause checking of codes and standards. The book uses examples of various bridges to illustrate the methods of design and construction. The book looks impartially at the construction form and compares composite bridges with other forms and places limits on their use. It outlines emerging technologies such as folded plate webs, double composite action and extradosed girders, all of which are likely to grow in importance for the future bridge designer.
