This collection of essays is concerned with the experiences children have within the supervised worlds they inhabit, as well as with architecture and landscape architecture.
International examples of innovative childcare practice are illustrated together with the design processes which informed their development. The emphasis here is on new and experimental childcare projects which set-out to reassert the rights of children to participate in a complex multi-faceted world, which is no longer available to them, unless under adult supervision. Research supports in depth recommendations regarding the ideal children's environment, across a range of contexts and dimensions.

This book reports on the physical and mechanical characterization of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC), produced through a partial-to-total replacement of ordinary aggregates with what have been dubbed Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCAs). It proposes a theoretical framework for understanding the relationships between RCAs and RCA, and for predicting the resulting behavior of RAC. The book demonstrates that in the case of RAC two additional parameters have to be taken into account than with ordinary aggregates, due to the composite nature and higher porosity of RCAs. By extending Abrams' Law for Recycled Aggregate Concrete, it represents a first step in the formulation of a general model for predicting the properties of RAC. The theoretical approach presented here addresses an important gap in the literature and is expected to stimulate new research on the use of this more sustainable form of concrete in structural applications.

Provides design wind speeds for East Asian, S.E. Asian and Western Pacific regions. These are based on existing data that have been revised to provide values in a format suitable for use with the Standards AS/NZS 1170.0 and AS/NZS 1170.2 or with other Standards. The wind speeds cover a range of annual probabilities of exceedance. These wind speeds can be used to compare performance requirements for different countries, to perform preliminary designs or where wind speed information for a locality is not known.

Tall buildings are subjected to extreme wind events during their lives. Standard code often neglects the special conditions that affect tall buildings, such as crosswind excitation and aerodynamic instability. Wind tunnel tests are the most accurate way to account for these conditions. The CTBUH Wind Tunnel Testing Guide sets forth general guidelines for wind tunnel tests, as they apply to tall buildings, in a format that is useful to building professionals and regulatory authorities involved in tall buildings, as well as wind specialists. It is not intended to be a detailed manual of practice. Instead, it describes best practices and make it easier to compare results from different wind consultants.

Wind Tunnel Studies of Buildings and Structures provides guidelines to assist architects and engineers involved with wind tunnel model testing of buildings and structures. Wind tunnel testing of the final structure and of the structure during construction is desirable to improve the reliability of structural performance and to achieve cost effectiveness. This revised edition includes procedures that can provide representative information on wind effects during certain wind conditions and also methods for using this information to develop statistical predictions of full-scale behavior. New developments are presented in the wind engineering field and wind tunnel studies of the dispersion of pollutants around buildings and in urban environments.
