This is an introduction to FEM method using excell spreadsheet.The user using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet can solves FE two dimensional (2D) frame-type structural engineering problems using FEM method. The spreadsheet is simplistic in comparison to commercial software and much more limited in capabilities, but it is completely adequate for many structural building frame-type problems

Autodesk Inc., a world leader in 2D and 3D design and entertainment software for the media and entertainment markets, has released update of Dynamo Studio is a standalone programming environment that lets designers create visual logic to explore parametric conceptual designs and automate tasks. Users can solve challenges faster by designing workflows that drive the geometry and behavior of design models. Dynamo Studio lets you extend your designs into interoperable workflows for documentation, fabrication, coordination, simulation, and analysis.
Explore parametric design concepts in a lightweight environment to iterate faster and earlier than ever
- Rapidly test and iterate your designs so you can study more options in less time
- Solve complex geometric problems with visual logic even if you don't know how to program
- Automate repetitive tasks for more precision and speed
- Manage risk by exposing tradeoffs and understanding systems and connections at the conceptual phase
- Generate sophisticated designs from simple data, logic, and analysis
Visualize geometry in a standalone environment
- Access a world-class geometry library to create solids and surfaces compatible with most downstream needs
- Work live in shared collaborative environment without the need for export
- Communicate to other applications from within Dynamo Studio for further insight, including Revit, Robot, Rhinoceros, NavisWorks, SAP2000, Excel, Google Spreadsheets, Tableau, and more
Extend computational design into other professional applications smoothly to work more effectively with project teams
- Design parametric geometry that translates into Revit families
- Communicate your work easily and efficiently with project teams with shareable content
- Harness the power of BIM so you can realize design changes without remodeling and build systems, not just models

Guidelines for Laboratory Design: Health, Safety, and Environmental Considerations
Author(s)/Editor(s): Louis J. DiBerardinis, Janet S. Baum, Melvin W. First, Gari T. Gatwood, Anand K. Seth | Size: 9.1 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2013 | pages: 552 | ISBN: 0470505524
Proven and tested guidelines for designing ideal labs for scientific investigations
Now in its Fourth Edition, Guidelines for Laboratory Design continues to enable readers to design labs that make it possible to conduct scientific investigations in a safe and healthy environment. The book brings together all the professionals who are critical to a successful lab design, discussing the roles of architects, engineers, health and safety professionals, and laboratory researchers. It provides the design team with the information needed to ask the right questions and then determine the best design, while complying with current regulations and best practices.
Guidelines for Laboratory Design features concise, straightforward advice organized in an easy-to-use format that facilitates the design of safe, efficient laboratories. Divided into five sections, the book records some of the most important discoveries and achievements in:
Part IA, Common Elements of Laboratory Design, sets forth technical specifications that apply to most laboratory buildings and modules
Part IB, Common Elements of Renovations, offers general design principles for the renovation and modernization of existing labs
Part II, Design Guidelines for a Number of Commonly Used Laboratories, explains specifications, best practices, and guidelines for nineteen types of laboratories, with three new chapters covering nanotechnology, engineering, and autopsy labs
Part III, Laboratory Support Services, addresses design issues for imaging facilities, support shops, hazardous waste facilities, and laboratory storerooms
Part IV, HVAC Systems, explains how to heat, cool, and ventilate labs with an eye towards energy conservation
Part V, Administrative Procedures, deals with bidding procedures, final acceptance inspections, and sustainability
The final part of the book features five appendices filled with commonly needed data and reference materials.
This Fourth Edition is indispensable for all laboratory design teams, whether constructing a new laboratory or renovating an old facility to meet new objectives.

This book collects 5 keynote and 15 topic lectures presented at the 2nd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (2ECEES), held in Istanbul, Turkey, from August 24 to 29, 2014. The conference was organized by the Turkish Earthquake Foundation - Earthquake Engineering Committee and Prime Ministry, Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency under the auspices of the European Association for Earthquake Engineering (EAEE) and European Seismological Commission (ESC).
The book's twenty state-of-the-art papers were written by the most prominent researchers in Europe and address a comprehensive collection of topics on earthquake engineering, as well as interdisciplinary subjects such as engineering seismology and seismic risk assessment and management. Further topics include engineering seismology, geotechnical earthquake engineering, seismic performance of buildings, earthquake-resistant engineering structures, new techniques and technologies and managing risk in seismic regions. The book also presents the Third Ambraseys Distinguished Award Lecture given by Prof. Robin Spence in honor of Prof. Nicholas N. Ambraseys.
The aim of this work is to present the state-of-the art and latest practices in the fields of earthquake engineering and seismology, with Europe's most respected researchers addressing recent and ongoing developments while also proposing innovative avenues for future research and development. Given its cutting-edge content and broad spectrum of topics, the book offers a unique reference guide for researchers in these fields.
Audience:
This book is of interest to civil engineers in the fields of geotechnical and structural earthquake engineering; scientists and researchers in the fields of seismology, geology and geophysics. Not only scientists, engineers and students, but also those interested in earthquake hazard assessment and mitigation will find in this book the most recent advances.
