Marine Structures Engineering is designed to help engineers meet the growing worldwide demand for construction of new ports and the modernization of existing ports and terminals. It provides an authoritative guide to the design, construction, rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance of port and harbor structures. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing readers to access specific information. The Author draws on his extensive experience in offshore structure and port engineering to demonstrate evaluation, rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance of in-service marine structures. Also covered in detail are state-of-the-art approaches to: *marine structures in cold regions, with special attention to the role of ice loads, permafrost, and other ice effects *shiplifts, marine railways, shipways, and dry docks *offshore moorings *floating breakwaters *marinas *structures that protect bridge piers from ship impact. Offering practical information on all aspects of marine structures, this book serves as an indispensable resource to all engineers and professionals involved in design, construction, maintenance, and modernization of ports and harbors.

Handbook of Port and Harbor Engineering: Geotechnical and Structural Aspects
Author(s)/Editor(s): Gregory P. Tsinker, Ph.D., P.E. | Size: 144 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Springer-Science+Business Media, B.V. | Year: 1997 | pages: 1054 | ISBN: ISBN 9781475708653 | ISBN 9781475708639 (eBook) | DOI 10.1007/9781475708639
In past 10 years or so several excellent books and handbooks on "Port and Harbors Engineering" and "Coastal and Ocean Engineering" have been published in Europe and in North America. Reference to these works is made elsewhere in this book.
The authors of the aforementioned works offer a shrewd and comprehensive discussion on the marine environment and its effects on port design, port operation, port hydraulics, coastal geomorphology, littoral drift and sedimentation, port and shipping technology and economics, design and construction of a floating port related structures, and others. However, proportionally the geotechnical and structural aspects of port construction have been given very little attention. This happens, perhaps, because the subject of marine structures engineering is very broad by itself; it is a blend that encompasses the array of engineering disciplines, e.g., civil, structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, strength of materials, corrosion, naval architecture and others knowledge of which is required to produce a sound and economical design of a modern port or marine terminal.

In risk studies, engineers often have to consider the consequences of an accident leading to a shock on a construction. This can concern the impact of a ground vehicle or aircraft, or the effects of an explosion on an industrial site.
This book presents a didactic approach starting with the theoretical elements of the mechanics of materials and structures, in order to develop their applications in the cases of shocks and impacts. The latter are studied on a local scale at first. They lead to stresses and strains in the form of waves propagating through the material, this movement then extending to the whole of the structure.
The first part of the book is devoted to the study of solid dynamics where nonlinear behaviors come into play. The second part covers structural dynamics and the evaluation of the transient response introduced at the global scale of a construction. Practical methods, simplified methods and methods that are in current use by engineers are also proposed throughout the book.
The aim of this book is to present theoretical elements regarding solids and structures, as well as modeling tools in order to study the vulnerability of a structure to a short duration action, generally of accidental nature. The book takes the point of view of an engineer seeking for the modeling of the physics at stake to relevantly carry out his study. The book originality is that it gathers elements from various fields of engineering sciences, for the purpose of a practical objective.

Could anyone please give me a MATLAB or R code for the selection of significant input variables for neural network modelling. It would be highly appreciated. I have total 69 input and 1 output. So, I need to select the most significant input variables from 69 inputs to develop a neural network model. Since I will develop model in neural network platform, so MATLAB (or R) code in the same platform would be a great support to my work.
Shanghai Tower will anchor the city’s Lujiazui district, which has emerged as one of East Asia’s leading financial centers. Designed by a local team of Gensler architects to embody Shanghai’s rich culture, the 632-meter-high mixed-use building will complete the city’s super-highrise precinct. It is the most forward-looking of the three towers symbolizing Shanghai’s past, present, and future. The new tower takes inspiration from Shanghai’s tradition of parks and neighborhoods. Its curved façade and spiraling form symbolize the dynamic emergence of modern China. By incorporating sustainable best practices, Shanghai Tower is at the forefront of a new generation of super-highrise towers, achieving the highest level of performance and offering unprecedented community access.

The Urban Climatic Map: A Methodology for Sustainable Urban Planning
Author(s)/Editor(s): Edward Ng and Chao | Size: 84.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Routledge | Year: 2014 | pages: 528 | ISBN: 1849713766
Rapid urbanization, higher density and more compact cities have brought about a new science of urban climatology. An understanding of the mapping of this phenomenon is crucial for urban planners. The book brings together experts in the field of Urban Climatic Mapping to provide the state of the art understanding on how urban climatic knowledge can be made available and utilized by urban planners. The book contains the technology, methodology, and various focuses and approaches of urban climatic map making. It illustrates this understanding with examples and case studies from around the world, and it explains how urban climatic information can be analysed, interpreted and applied in urban planning. The book attempts to bridge the gap between the science of urban climatology and the practice of urban planning. It provides a useful one-stop reference for postgraduates, academics and urban climatologists wishing to better understand the needs for urban climatic knowledge in city planning; and urban planners and policy makers interested in applying the knowledge to design future sustainable cities and quality urban spaces.
