The book provides a basic and clear introduction to the principles underlying finite elements and the computer based methods of the analysis of structures commonly used in industry. There can be a danger that, without such an understanding, engineers will use these computer based analysis tools as black boxes and accept results without being aware of the real significance of the information obtained.

Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning, Design and Construction.
Author(s)/Editor(s): Transportation Security Administration of the U.S. DHS. | Size: 4,42 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint Publisher: TSA | Year: 2011 | pages: 226
This document is intended to bring to the attention of the airport planning, design, and engineering community the serious security concerns that should be considered for incorporation into an airport design at the earliest possible planning stage, in order to bring the most efficient and cost-effective security solutions to bear. An undertaking as extensive and comprehensive as this requires the participation and cooperation of a wide range of aviation security professionals contributing time, experience, knowledge and insight. We hope that this document accurately captures the broad experience of the community and will help the reader anticipate future expansion needs.
To complete this fourth revision of the document, an Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC) Working Group was formed. Under the auspices of this working group, over 100 persons attended meetings, contributed to the development of various drafts and participated in document reviews. A few participants, referred to as Section Chiefs, chaired team meetings and supervised edits of specific sections of the document. These and other participants rewrote outdated material, edited drafts, and brought current practices, real-world perspectives and new Federal regulations to the table, advising the Working Group of what would, and would not, work in an operating airport environment.
This document is not intended to be the final word on airport security design; it is meant to be a primer on the security issues important to airport development and a check-list of the more important things one should consider when deciding which of the many potential security approaches may be appropriate to a particular airport’s circumstances and requirements.

The Art of Natural Building: Design, Construction, Resources
Author(s)/Editor(s): Joseph F. Kennedy | Size: 20 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: New Society Publishers | Year: 2015 | pages: 480 | ISBN: 0865717710
The popularity of natural building has grown by leaps and bounds, spurred by a grassroots desire for housing that is healthy, affordable, and environmentally responsible. While there are many books available on specific methods such as straw-bale construction, cob, or timber framing, there are few resources which introduce the reader to the entire scope of this burgeoning field.
Fully revised and updated, The Art of Natural Building is the complete and user-friendly introduction to natural building for everyone from the do-it-yourselfer to architects and designers. This collection of articles from over fifty leaders in the field is now stunningly illustrated with over two-hundred full-color photographs of natural buildings from around the world. Learn about:
The case for building with natural materials, from the perspectives of sustainability, lifestyle, and health
What you need to know to plan and design your own beautiful and efficient natural home
Explanations of thirty versatile materials and techniques, with resources on where to go for further information on each
How these techniques are being used to address housing crises around the world.
Clearly written, logically organized, and beautifully illustrated, The Art of Natural Building is the encyclopedia of natural building.
Joseph F. Kennedy is a designer, builder, writer, artist, educator, and co-founder of Builders Without Borders.
Michael G. Smith is a respected workshop instructor, consultant, and co-author of the best-selling book The Hand-Sculpted House.
Catherine Wanek is a co-founder of Builders Without Borders and author/photographer of The Hybrid House and The New Straw Bale Home.

Curtain Wall Systems compiles a basic review of the many aspects of curtain wall systems that affect their design and performance. It highlights the materials used to manufacture curtain walls for low-rise to high-rise construction and describes different types of tests, mockups, and inspections.
Methods of improving the energy performance, waterproofing, and wind loading of curtain walls are assessed. Specialized aspects of curtain wall design and analysis for extreme events, such as earthquake and bomb blast, are explored. Innovative façade design and new curtain wall and glazing systems are covered as well. MOP 126 is written for architects, structural engineers, HVAC engineers, general contractors, building owners, and building operators who are new to curtain wall systems and want to learn more about this specialized and emerging field.

The increasing use of composite materials requires a better understanding of the behavior of laminated plates and shells. Large displacements and rotations, as well as shear deformations, must be included in the analysis. Since linear theories of shells and plates are no longer adequate for the analysis and design of composite structures, more refined theories are now used for such structures.

Find Practical Solutions to Civil Engineering Design and Cost Management Problems
A guide to successfully designing, estimating, and scheduling a civil engineering project, Integrated Design and Cost Management for Civil Engineers shows how practicing professionals can design fit-for-use solutions within established time frames and reliable budgets. This text combines technical compliance with practical solutions in relation to cost planning, estimating, time, and cost control. It incorporates solutions that are technically sound as well as cost effective and time efficient. It focuses on the integration of design and construction based on solid engineering foundations contained within a code of ethics, and navigates engineers through the complete process of project design, pricing, and tendering.
Well illustrated
The book uses cases studies to illustrate principles and processes. Although they center on Australasia and Southeast Asia, the principles are internationally relevant. The material details procedures that emphasize the correct quantification and planning of works, resulting in reliable cost and time predictions. It also works toward minimizing the risk of losing business through cost blowouts or losing profits through underestimation.
This Text Details the Quest for Practical Solutions That:
Are cost effective
Can be completed within a reasonable timeline
Conform to relevant quality controls
Are framed within appropriate contract documents
Satisfy ethical professional procedures, and
Address the client’s brief through a structured approach to integrated design and cost management
Designed to help civil engineers develop and apply a multitude of skill bases, Integrated Design and Cost Management for Civil Engineers can aid them in maintaining relevancy in appropriate design justifications, guide work tasks, control costs, and structure project timelines. The book is an ideal link between a civil engineering course and practic
