Author(s)/Editor(s): Elmer E. Botsai, Charles Kaneshiro, Phil Cuccia and Hiram Pajo | Size: 5.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2010 | pages: 240 | ISBN: 0470401656
The Complete Guide to Preventing Architectural Water Infiltration Issues
This insightful guide illustrates how to fortify buildings to withstand the onslaught of nature, primarily against wind and rain, with a back-to-basics look at water infiltration prevention techniques.
This guide for architects and builders:
β’ Includes an overview of general guidelines as well as coverage of applications such as those used in below-grade conditions, sealants, and membranes
β’ Covers massing, orientation, seismic issues, wind loads, and discussion of building systems
β’ Examines the key factors causing water infiltration in buildings: exposure, thermal loads, structural movement, and building configuration
With solid advice from experts in the field, The Architect's Guide to Preventing Water Infiltration shows how innovations in today's construction techniques simply won't hold water if they don't follow the fundamental ground rules necessary to keep water out.

Building Physics - Heat, Air and Moisture: Fundamentals and Engineering Methods with Examples and Exercise
Author(s)/Editor(s): Hugo S. L. C. Hens | Size: 16 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Ernst & Sohn | Year: 2012 | pages: 330 | ISBN: 3433030278
Bad experiences with construction quality, the energy crises of 1973 and 1979, complaints about 'sick buildings', thermal, acoustical, visual and olfactory discomfort, the need for good air quality, the move towards more sustainability, all have accelerated the development of a field, which until some 40 years ago was hardly more than an academic exercise: building physics.
Building physics combines several knowledge domains such as heat and mass transfer, building acoustics, lighting, indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency. In some countries, also fire safety is included. Through the application of existing physical knowledge and the combination with information coming from other disciplines, the field helps to understand the physical phenomena governing assembly, building envelope, whole building and built environment performance, although for the last the wording `urban physics? is used. Building physics has a true impact on performance based building design.
This volume focuses on heat, air, moisture transfer and its usage in building engineering applications.

Architectural technology is the realisation of architecture through the application of building science, forming the constructive link between the abstract and the physical.
Architectural Technology: research and practice demonstrates the importance of research in architectural technology and aims to stimulate further research and debate by enlightening, informing and challenging readers.
Chapter authors address the interplay between research and practice in the field of architectural technology, examining the influence of political, economic, social, environmental and technological issues. The focus throughout is on creating sustainable buildings that are constructed economically and function effectively and efficiently within their service life cycle.
The bookβs mix of chapters and case studies bring together a number of different themes and provides invaluable insights into the world of research from the perspective of those working within the architectural technology field - practitioners, academics and students. The underlying message is that architectural technology is not just a profession; it is a way of thinking and a way of acting. This is highlighted by contributions from architects and architectural technologists passionate about architectural technology as a field of knowledge. Contributions range from the theoretical and polemic to the pragmatic and applied, further helping to demonstrate the richness of the field.
About the Editor Stephen Emmitt is Professor of Architectural Technology at Loughborough University UK and Visiting Professor of Innovation Sciences at Halmstad University, Sweden and a member of CIATβs Research Group.

Mechanical Engineering is defined nowadays as a discipline βwhich involves the application of principles of physics, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systemsβ.
Recently, mechanical engineering has also focused on some cutting-edge subjects such as nanomechanics and nanotechnology, mechatronics and robotics, computational mechanics, biomechanics, alternative energies, as well as aspects related to sustainable mechanical engineering.
This book covers mechanical engineering higher education with a particular emphasis on quality assurance and the improvement of academic institutions, mechatronics education and the transfer of knowledge between university and industry.

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
