Building Research: Design, Construction and Technologies brings together knowledge from civil engineering and architecture to make an interdisciplinary analysis of a recognized building/project or a building construction research. In each volume, the topic is a building or an aspect of a building that catalyzes the contributions of invited authors in their fields of specialization, with professional and academic backgrounds. To make the bridge between the scientific research and the construction site problems a parallel reading of the working development and the technological issues raised by that construction problem are presented.
Authors, architects and engineers are interviewed and analyze the different projects in distinct stages, from concept to construction drawings, following the development of the building’s design and construction process. The series treats topics such as building technology, construction management, acoustics, maintenance, prefabrication, amongst others. As a complementary objective, authors with different backgrounds: Engineers and Architects, Researchers and Designers are invited to to contribute to the understanding of specific buildings through the analysis of those issues that influenced the development of the design or that appeared during the construction or the facility management phases.
This is the first book in a new series "Building Research: Design, Construction and Technologies" which aims to bridge scientific research and professional practice to understand the Building Design problems. In each edition, one or two case studies (recognized buildings in the international design panorama) are analyzed with their authors to assess the design process and the construction development. To understand the problems involved, researchers, engineers and architects, are asked to contribute to this analysis with essays on building research issues, as building technology, construction management, acoustics, maintenance or prefabrication.

Guide to design Diaphragms Chords and collectors ICC 2009
Author(s)/Editor(s): Douglas S. Thompson,Rafael Sabelli,Timothy W. Mays | Size: 20 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: ICC | Year: 2009 | pages: 226 | ISBN: 9781580017909
Many publications on lateral design do not address the design of diaphragms, chords and collectors in much detail. This Guide fills that void by explaining the role that diaphragms, chords and collectors play in buildings and providing detailed examples of how to determine the seismic forces and design the diaphragm, chords and collectors for various types of buildings located in Seismic Design Category (SDC) B and D.
This guide is based on the 2006 International Building Code® (IBC) and the American Society of Civil Engineers Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI 7-05) standard. The book's design examples also apply to the 2009 IBC® because it references ASCE/SEI 7-05 as well. Although the 2009 IBC® references the 2008 edition of the ACI 318 standard, there are only minor changes from ACI 318-05 in regards to the design of concrete diaphragms, chords and collectors. The design examples presented in this publication are based on seismic load effects. However, lateral forces due to wind loads also produce loads in the diaphragms, chords and collectors, and the basic principles involved in the design of these elements are essentially the same.
Detailed design examples are provided for the following:
Four-story concrete office building with concrete diaphragms
Three-story office building with CMU walls, glue-laminated beams on steel columns and wood-frame roof and floor diaphragms
Four-story steel-braced frame building with steel beams and columns and steel deck roof diaphragm
Four-story steel-braced frame building with steel beams and columns and concrete-filled steel deck floor diaphragms
Each design example includes analysis and design of the diaphragm, determination of chord forces, determination of collector forces and design of collectors to resist combined axial and flexural loads.

Exploring Leadership Individual, Organizational, and Societal Perspectives
Author(s)/Editor(s): Richard Bolden, Beverley Hawkins, Jonathan Gosling, and Scott Taylor | Size: 1.01 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Year: 2011 | pages: 232 | ISBN: 9780199547661
Are leaders born or made? Does each society get the leaders it deserves? How-and why-is leadership 'rhetoric' different from leadership in reality? l l Leadership is one of the most talked about yet least understood concepts in current business and society. This book explores how theoretical models and views of leadership have evolved over time; how leadership can be investigated from individual, organizational, and societal perspectives; and perennial dilemmas and emerging approaches in Leadership Studies. Positioning its discussion within a multidisciplinary framework that touches on management, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, history, literature, and politics, this book examines and critiques the common assumptions that inform the ways in which leaders and leadership are recognized, rewarded, and developed. It provides a valuable and thought-provoking overview for students and academics interested in leadership and management, practising leaders, leadership development consultants, and policy makers.

This book is a comprehensive compilation of earthquake- and tsunami-related technologies and knowledge for the design and construction of nuclear facilities. As such, it covers a wide range of fields including civil engineering, architecture, geotechnical engineering, mechanical engineering, and nuclear engineering, for the development of new technologies providing greater resistance against earthquakes and tsunamis. It is crucial both for students of nuclear energy courses and for young engineers in nuclear power generation industries to understand the basics and principles of earthquake- and tsunami-resistant design of nuclear facilities. In Part I, "Seismic Design of Nuclear Power Plants", the design of nuclear power plants to withstand earthquakes and tsunamis is explained, focusing on buildings, equipment's, and civil engineering structures. In Part II, "Basics of Earthquake Engineering", fundamental knowledge of earthquakes and tsunamis as well as the dynamic response of structures and foundation ground are explained.
