A unique approach to green, healthy and innovative building design and the sustainable interconnection between buildings and their surroundings
Explains the interconnections between nature and technology in building design and their impact on the environment, health, and occupants behavior
Illustrates innovative, smart technologies for buildings and cities and how they can be even smarter with the integration of nature
Incorporates knowledge derived from the latest research on smart applications into engineering building systems and the entire urban fabric
This book is a resumption of the work “Integrated M/E Design: Building Systems Engineering” published by Anil Ahuja in 1997. Together with an international group of authors from the engineering, urban planning, and architecture fields, Mr. Ahuja discussed new trends and paradigms in the smart buildings and smart city sectors and extended the topic of the previous publication from the building to the entire city. A smart, sustainable building is not just about the building itself. There are things happening in the inside of the building and on the outside. A smart building connects the inside with the outside, provides efficiencies on both sides, synchronizes the outside infrastructure with its inside systems, and integrates nature and its occupants in its design. A smart building doesn’t just provide technology solutions. It is about constant exchange between the inside and the outside of the building, the contribution of the building to the quality of the entire neighborhood and the rest of the city, how the smart building can connect people in a sharing community, and how technology can be the key to make it happen.

Represents the State of the Art in Urban Lifeline Engineering
Urban lifelines are buried or aboveground network systems used for water, sewerage, gas, power, and telecommunications. Dedicated to preserving the functions of lifeline systems against natural disasters, the Critical Urban Infrastructure Handbook is a vital compilation of urban utility management. This text utilizes the input of leading experts who have extensive experience with natural disasters, and provides a better understanding of the technical and legal framework of infrastructure construction and operation.
Examine the Damage Data of Urban Lifelines Suffered by Seismic Disasters
The book addresses water supply and sewerage, power, gas, telecommunications joint utility corridor lifeline facilities, and other critical civil infrastructure lifelines. It emphasizes the importance of the resilience of lifeline systems against natural disasters in protecting human lives and supporting survivors of disasters as well as in promptly recovering and reconstructing the affected areas. In addition, it also describes the structural damage of nodes and links, as well as the functional damage of the lifeline system from the viewpoint of disaster prevention and mitigation measures.
This valuable work consists of 24 chapters in four sections covering:
Design and construction of various lifeline facilities
Maintenance
Disaster management
Environmental protection
Disaster and emergency recovery measures
Urban planning
Life cycle costing
GIS analysis of lifeline systems
Computerized integrated management systems
New materials and technologies
The Critical Urban Infrastructure Handbook comprehensively describes common issues of lifeline systems, and provides practical information to engineers and industry professionals involved in the planning, construction, and maintenance of lifeline systems.

Elements of Architecture explores new ways of engaging architecture in archaeology. It conceives of architecture both as the physical evidence of past societies and as existing beyond the physical environment. The book engages with the meeting point between these two perspectives, for although archaeologists must deal with the presence and absence of physicality as a discipline that studies humans through things, to understand humans they must also address the performances, as well as temporal and affective impacts, of these material remains. The contributions in this volume investigate the way time, performance and movement, both physically and emotionally, are central aspects of understanding architectural assemblages. It is a book about the constellations of people, places and things that emerge and dissolve as affective, mobile, performative and temporal engagements.

I'm not requesting this program, although it might be helpful to have it, instead I would just like to discuss it with someone who have used it. Also, if someone could post a manual for this program that would be great, but please post it in the forum section related to program manuals.
Also, please if someone used the program, could you share your experiences about it? What for did you use the program? Did you compare your results with other programs or maybe with experiments? What are the possibilities of the program regarding modeling of soil (nonlinear, elastic, springs, gapping,...), what are the possibilities of modeling soil-structure interaction problems (dynamic, substructure, direct analysis)...?
I would add here the program's web site and some more information if I could find those, but I know only about the name of the program and that it may be used for soil-structure interaction problems.
Any information about the program is more than welcome.

The book provides a state-of-the-art review from leading experts in the field on the developments which have appeared over the last decade or so, on the use of textile fiber composites in structural engineering, with a focus on both new and existing concrete and masonry structures. The book reviews materials, production technologies, fundamental properties, testing, design aspects, applications, and directions for future research and developments.
The book provides broad coverage of a wide range of topics and includes 18 contributions from leading experts in the field. The material is divided into four parts:
Part1 covers materials, production technologies, and manufacturing of textile fiber composites for structural engineering.
Part2 moves on to review testing, mechanical behavior, and durability aspects of textile fiber composites.
Part3 analyzes the structural behavior and design of textile reinforced concrete
part4 details the strengthening and seismic retrofitting of existing structures with textilebased composites.
