There are many types of wells in use, and the type that is chosen by a builder, home owner, or architect is often determined by local conditions.
shallow wells are not always an option. And when they are,they may not be the best choice. Drilled wells can be used in all building plans, but they are expensive.
This book includes 12 chapters :
Chapter 1 TYPES OF WELLS
Chapter 2 TYPES OF WELL PUMPS
Chapter 3 PUMP SELECTION
Chapter 4 WELL PRESSURE TANKS
Chapter 5 WELL PIPING CHOICES
Chapter 6 WELL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Chapter 7 ELECTRICAL FACTS AND FIGURES
Chapter 8 JET PUMP INSTALLATIONS
Chapter 9 SUBMERSIBLE PUMP INSTALLATION
Chapter 10 BOOSTER PUMPS
Chapter 11 WATER QUALITY
Chapter 12 TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIRS

Ground bearing concrete floors, industrial concrete hardstandings and concrete highway pavements have not, in the past, been perceived as a single type of structural element and their construction has taken place independently of each other. This is in spite of their obvious commonality in the areas of design, materials, geotechnical appreciation and construction.
Ground Bearing Concrete Slabs has been specifically written to break down the walls that have arisen between these three areas and focus on the issues that are common to them all.
This book attempts to integrate the three crucial phases in the development of ground bearing concrete slabs: design, specification and construction.
Much existing guidance majors on one of these phases.
New design methods, which are based upon an ultimate limit state analytical approach, are being introduced into ground floor slab design and these methods are described in this book.

Robotic fabrication in architecture, art, and design is a relatively young discipline, whose focus is on applied research, performed on the one hand by young designers, artists and researchers from the “digital generation” and on the other by innovative firms and startups, researching applications that go beyond typical industry solutions. This
is reflected in the structure of this book, which does not consist solely of full-length scientific papers but has four distinct sections: workshop papers, research papers, project papers, and industry papers.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Thomas Leslie | Size: 192 MB | Format:PDF full colour | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: University of Illinois Press | Year: 2013 | pages: 265 | ISBN: 0252037545
For more than a century, Chicago's skyline has included some of the world's most distinctive and inspiring buildings. This history of the Windy City's skyscrapers begins in the key period of reconstruction after the Great Fire of 1871 and concludes in 1934 with the onset of the Great Depression, which brought architectural progress to a standstill. During this time, such iconic landmarks as the Chicago Tribune Tower, the Wrigley Building, the Marshall Field and Company Building, the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Palmolive Building, the Masonic Temple, the City Opera, Merchandise Mart, and many others rose to impressive new heights, thanks to innovations in building methods and materials. Solid, earthbound edifices of iron, brick, and stone made way for towers of steel and plate glass, imparting a striking new look to Chicago's growing urban landscape.
Thomas Leslie reveals the daily struggles, technical breakthroughs, and negotiations that produced these magnificent buildings. He also considers how the city's infamous political climate contributed to its architecture, as building and zoning codes were often disputed by shifting networks of rivals, labor unions, professional organizations, and municipal bodies.
Featuring more than a hundred photographs and illustrations of the city's physically impressive and beautifully diverse architecture, Chicago Skyscrapers, 1871–1934 highlights an exceptionally dynamic, energetic period of architectural progress in Chicago.

The discipline of architecture has gone through something of a metamorphosis in recent years. There is evidence of a clear shift both in the nature of debates within architecture and in its relationship with other academic This invaluable reader brings together the core writings on architecture by key philosophers and cultural theorists of the Twentieth Century.
This careful selection of the very best theoretical writings offers a refreshing take on the question of architecture and provocatively rethinks many of the accepted tenets of architectural theory from a broader cultural perspective.

Specification for Aluminum Structures: The 2010 Specification for Aluminum Structures is the first unified allowable strength design and load and resistance factor design aluminum Specification. It provides rules for determining the strength of aluminum structural components and minimum strengths for wrought, cast, and welded aluminum alloys and aluminum fasteners. Commentary: discusses the provisions in the Specification for Aluminum Structures and provides references. Material Properties: includes alloy and temper designation systems for wrought and cast aluminum alloys; comparative characteristics of wrought alloys; foreign alloy designations correlated with US alloy designations; and typical mechanical and physical properties, including thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, and density (all in US and SI units) Design Guide: addresses structural design issues not included in the Specification for Aluminum Structures, including diaphragms, adhesive bonded joints, aluminum composite material, extrusion design, corrosion prevention, fire protection, sustainability, and design references for aluminum structural components in automobiles, bridges, rail cars, ships, pressure vessels, pipe, and storage tanks. Section Properties: lists dimensions and section properties for aluminum channels, I-beams, angles, tees, zees, square and rectangular tube, round tube, pipe, and roofing and siding, as well as sheet metal and wire gauges Design Aids: provides buckling constants, allowable stress tables for various alloys, allowable load tables for channels and I-beams in bending, tread plate, roofing and siding; fastener strengths, minimum bend radii for aluminum sheet and plate, wire, and rod, design stresses for groove and fillet welds, and beam formulas Illustrative Design Examples: includes structural design calculation examples based on the Specification for Aluminum Structures.
