In Europe, the building sector accounts for 40% of energy consumption which has a strong influence on greenhouse gas emissions. The book deals with efficient methodologies aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector. This includes analyses of the building envelopes, the heating systems, the use of solar energy and the assessment of the environmental and energy sustainability of the proposed solutions.
After a brief introduction to the physical fundamentals involved in the study, results are presented to support cost-effective technical strategies to promote actions for energy saving, in the most critical fields and with the most economic advantage.

Intended as a textbook for courses in computational fluid dynamics at the senior undergraduate or graduate level, this book is a follow-up to the book Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics by the same authors, which was published in the series Scientific Computation in 2001. Whereas the earlier book concentrated on the analysis of numerical methods applied to model equations, this new book concentrates on algorithms for the numerical solution of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. It focuses on some classical algorithms as well as the underlying ideas based on the latest methods. A key feature of the book is the inclusion of programming exercises at the end of each chapter based on the numerical solution of the quasi-one-dimensional Euler equations and the shock-tube problem. These exercises can be included in the context of a typical course and sample solutions are provided in each chapter, so readers can confirm that they have coded the algorithms correctly.

This textbook presents the physical principles pertinent to the mathematical modeling of soft materials used in engineering practice, including both man-made materials and biological tissues. It is intended for seniors and masters-level graduate students in engineering, physics or applied mathematics. It will also be a valuable resource for researchers working in mechanics, biomechanics and other fields where the mechanical response of soft solids is relevant.
Soft Solids: A Primer to the Theoretical Mechanics of Materials is divided into two parts. Part I introduces the basic concepts needed to give both Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of the mechanical response of soft solids. Part II presents two distinct theories of elasticity and their associated theories of viscoelasticity. Seven boundary-value problems are studied over the course of the book, each pertaining to an experiment used to characterize materials. These problems are discussed at the end of each chapter, giving students the opportunity to apply what they learned in the current chapter and to build upon the material in prior chapters.

Energy Methods in Dynamics (Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics)
Author: Khanh Chau Le, Lu Trong Khiem Nguyen | Size: 9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2014 | pages: 419 | ISBN: 331905418X
Energy Methods in Dynamics is a textbook based on the lectures given by the first author at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. Its aim is to help students acquire both a good grasp of the first principles from which the governing equations can be derived, and the adequate mathematical methods for their solving. Its distinctive features, as seen from the title, lie in the systematic and intensive use of Hamilton's variational principle and its generalizations for deriving the governing equations of conservative and dissipative mechanical systems, and also in providing the direct variational-asymptotic analysis, whenever available, of the energy and dissipation for the solution of these equations. It demonstrates that many well-known methods in dynamics like those of Lindstedt-Poincare, Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky, Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM), Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB), and Whitham are derivable from this variational-asymptotic analysis.
This second edition includes the solutions to all exercises as well as some new materials concerning amplitude and slope modulations of nonlinear dispersive waves.

The Highway Capacity Manual: A Conceptual and Research History: Volume 1: Uninterrupted Flow
Author: Roger P. Roess, Elena S. Prassas | Size: 16 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2014 | pages: 470 | ISBN: 3319057855
Since 1950, the Highway Capacity Manual has been a standard used in the planning, design, analysis, and operation of virtually any highway traffic facility in the United States. It has also been widely used abroad, and has spurred the development of similar manuals in other countries.
The twin concepts of capacity and level of service have been developed in the manual, and methodologies have been presented that allow highway traffic facilities to be designed on a common basis, and allow for the analysis of operational quality under various traffic demand scenarios. The manual also addresses related pedestrian, bicycle, and transit issues.
This book details the fundamental development of the concepts of capacity and level of service, and of the specific methodologies developed to describe them over a wide range of facility types. The book is comprised of two volumes. Volume 1 (this book) focuses on the development of basic principles, and their application to uninterrupted flow facilities: freeways, multilane highways, and two-lane highways. Weaving, merging, and diverging segments on freeways and multilane highways are also discussed in detail. Volume 2
focuses on interrupted flow facilities: signalized and unsignalized intersections, urban streets and arterials. It is intended to help users of the manual understand how concepts, approaches, and specific methodologies were developed, and to understand the underlying principles that each embodies. It is also intended to act as a basic reference for current and future researchers who will continue to develop new and improved capacity analysis methodologies for many years to come.

Indian Standard SEISMIC EVALUATION AND STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS — GUIDELINES
Size: 1.3 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: B U R E A U O F I N D I A N S T A N D A R D S MANAK BHAVAN, 9 BAHADUR SHAH ZAFAR MARG NEW DELHI | Year: 2013 | pages: 25
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Earthquake
Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
This standard is intended to reduce the risk of death and injury that may result from the damaging effects of
earthquake on building which predate the current seismic codes [IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002 ‘Criteria for earthquake
resistant design of structures: Part 1 General provisions and buildings’, IS 4326 : 1993 ‘Code of practice for
earthquake resistant design and construction of buildings’ and IS 13920 : 1993 ‘Ductile detailing of reinforced
concrete structures subjected to seismic forces — Code of practice’] or have not been designed for earthquake
forces.
This standard describes a set of key steps and procedures for the assessment of the expected seismic performance
of existing building in the event of a design level earthquake and where found necessary, strengthening of existing
structural systems and elements for improved seismic performance.
Seismic forces for evaluation criteria of existing buildings are different from those meant for the design of new
buildings. Appropriate modifications are made to address the issues of reduced serviceable life and acceptable
risk for higher importance. Further, to account for uncertainty in the reliability of available information about the
existing structure and the condition of structure components, strength calculations need to be suitably modified.
For deficient buildings, a broad outline for the design seismic strengthening measures has been developed and
the interface with current design codes in general terms has been identified.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived from the following publications:
