Science is for those who learn; poetry for those who know. ―Joseph Roux This book is a continuation of my previous book, Dynamics and Control of Structures [44]. The expanded book includes three additional chapters and an additional appendix: Chapter 3, “Special Models”; Chapter 8, “Modal Actuators and Sensors”; and Chapter 9, “System Identification. ” Other chapters have been significantly revised and supplemented with new topics, including discrete-time models of structures, limited-time and -frequency grammians and reduction, almo- balanced modal models, simultaneous placement of sensors and actuators, and structural damage detection. The appendices have also been updated and expanded. Appendix A consists of thirteen new Matlab programs. Appendix B is a new addition and includes eleven Matlab programs that solve examples from each chapter. In Appendix C model data are given. Several books on structural dynamics and control have been published. Meirovitch’s textbook [108] covers methods of structural dynamics (virtual work, d’Alambert’s principle, Hamilton’s principle, Lagrange’s and Hamilton’s equations, and modal analysis of structures) and control (pole placement methods, LQG design, and modal control). Ewins’s book [33] presents methods of modal testing of structures. Natke’s book [111] on structural identification also contains excellent material on structural dynamics. Fuller, Elliot, and Nelson [40] cover problems of structural active control and structural acoustic control.

he Guide to Meeting the Challenges of Tall Buildings Tall buildings present unique and formidable challenges to architects and engineers because of their size, location in major urban areas, and the multiple, complex occupancies they often contain. ASHRAE Design Guide for Tall, Supertall, and Megatall Building Systems is a unique reference for owners; architects; and mechanical, structural, and electrical engineers as well as other specialized consultants involved in designing systems for these buildings. Expanded since ASHRAE's previous guide on the topic in 2004, this new design guide covers not only tall buildings (taller than 300 ft [91m]) but now also addresses supertall (taller than 984 ft [300 m]) and megatall (taller than 1968 ft [600 m]) buildings, with a broadened scope and updated content that reflects current standards and industry practices. This guide not only focuses on the efforts of designers of the HVAC systems but also addresses the importance of the design team and their collective efforts and concerns that are the critical elements in determining the ultimate solutions to the project needs of a tall building. This guide addresses design issues for tall commercial buildings, which are very often mixed use, with low-level retail, office floors, residential floors, and hotel floors. Also included are appendices with examples of stack effect and wind pressure for four representative climates, energy analysis examples, and HVAC design criteria and a systems description for a multiple-tenant office building.....
all, supertall, and megatall buildings present unique challenges because of their size, urban location and complex occupancies.
Expanded since the first edition published in 2015, ASHRAE Design Guide for Tall, Supertall and Megatall Building Systems, Second Edition has a broadened scope and updated content that reflects current standards and industry practices, including major sections on:
architectural design
indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort
vertical transportation
life safety
residential occupancy needs
intelligent buildings and controls
Each chapter refers to different parts of the building design phase, from initial concepts through specific calculations. It's ASHRAE's only reference that encompasses the entirety of tall building design.
The second edition contains all-new case studies of real-world buildings and supplemental files throughout, plus new information on stack effect, controls, Smart Grid, and high-rise residential.
It's an ideal companion text for owners, architects, engineers, and other specialized consultants involved in designing systems for these formidable projects.

The 4th International Conference on Performance-based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (PBD-IV) is held in Beijing, China. The PBD-IV Conference is organized under the auspices of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering - Technical Committee TC203 on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Associated Problems (ISSMGE-TC203). The PBD-I, PBD-II, and PBD-III events in Japan (2009), Italy (2012), and Canada (2017) respectively, were highly successful events for the international earthquake geotechnical engineering community. The PBD events have been excellent companions to the International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (ICEGE) series that TC203 has held in Japan (1995), Portugal (1999), USA (2004), Greece (2007), Chile (2011), New Zealand (2015), and Italy (2019). The goal of PBD-IV is to provide an open forum for delegates to interact with their international colleagues and advance performance-based design research and practices for earthquake geotechnical engineering.

This book critically assesses Christchurch, New Zealand as an evolving post-earthquake city. It examines the impact of the 2010–13 Canterbury earthquake sequence, employing a chronological structure to consider 'damage and displacement', 'recovery and renewal' and 'the city in transition'.
It offers a framework for understanding the multiple experiences and realities of post-earthquake recovery. It details how the rebuilding of the city has occurred and examines what has arisen in the context of an unprecedented opportunity to refashion land uses and social experience from the ground up. A recurring tension is observed between the desire and tendency of some to reproduce previous urban orthodoxies and the experimental efforts of others to fashion new cultures of progressive place-making and attention to the more-than-human city. The book offers several lessons for understanding disaster recovery in cities. It illuminates the opportunities disasters create for both the reassertion of the familiar and the emergence of the new; highlights the divergence of lived experience during recovery; and considers the extent to which a post-disaster city is prepared for likely climate futures.
The book will be valuable reading for critical disaster researchers as well as geographers, sociologists, urban planners and policy makers interested in disaster recovery.

The monograph entitled “Dynamics of Structure and Foundation -– A Unified
Approach” consists of two volumes. While in Volume 1 we dealt with background theories and formulations that constitute the above subject, this second volume deals with application of these theories to various aspects of civil engineering problems constituting topics related to dynamic soil-structure interaction, machine foundation and
earthquake engineering. If we have managed to stir the wrath of the professionals in Volume 1 with mazes of tensors, differential and integral equations, it is our strong conviction that in this
present volume we will be able to considerably appease this fraternity for it constitutes of a number of applications that are innovative, easy to apply and solutions to many practical problems that puts an engineer into considerable difficulty and uncertainties in a design office. We start Volume 2 with the topic of Dynamic Soil Structure Interaction (DSSI). We
believe this topic would play a key role in future and more so with the distinct possibility of construction of Nuclear power plants (especially in India) globally. A clear concept on this topic would surely be essential for designing such plants. Though we have dealt this topic only in terms of fundamental concepts, yet we feel that we have given sufficient details to eradicate the misnomer from which many engineers suffer that “DSSI is nothing but adding some springs to the boundary of a structure and then
doing the analysis through a computer”.The geotechnical aspects that play an extremely important role in selecting the soilspring value, (that are highly influenced by the strain range) have been dealt in quite
detail. We hope that this section will do away with some of the major blunders that we make in DSSI analysis, and appreciate how the results thus obtained become unrealistic and questionable. We sincerely hope that engineers performing DSSI analysis, would start paying sufficient attention to some of the key engineering parameters as furnished in the soil report – that are being habitually ignored in design offices.
Second chapter consists of design and analysis of machine foundations (both block and frame type). In our collective experience as a consultant and academician we have seen significant confusion on this topic as to who is responsible for this hapless orphan, structural or geotechnical engineers? While people from classical soil mechanics disowns it, as it involves the evaluation of eigen-values and vectors that are far away their traditional failure theories of foundation, structural engineers on the other hand
are equally reluctant to shoulder the guardianship for their inherent apathy towards ‘what lies beneath the machine foundation’. As such, a design involving machine foundation throws the most challenging and interesting task in the domain of civil engineering that requires multi-discipline knowledge and should be equally interesting to an engineer having structural or geotechnical background. The matrix analysis
concept that we have introduced herein is quite easy to follow and we hope wouldB bridge the gap that is still prevalent in academics and practice alike. We would be looking forward to have some feedback from hardened professionals who are working in this area, as to how they feel about our representation which we believe is quite novel and has tried to answer a number of problems that often become burning issues on which they have spent significant time on clarifying either to their Clients or Project Management Consultants.
The last chapter of this volume deals with the most fearful force Mother Nature has created – “Earthquake”. Earthquake engineering as a topic is so vast, complex and diverse (and ever changing) that we concede that it did give us some uncomfortable moments as to what should justifiably constitute this chapter? Majority of the books that address this topic are far too focused on buildings and there are hardly any book
around, that has addressed other specialized structures like chimneys, dams, retaining walls, water tanks etc (except some very specialized literature). It should be realized that some of these structures are expensive, important and cannot be ignored while building an earthquake resistant infrastructure.
Buildings, we concede are the biggest casualties during an earthquake and are directly related to human life but damages to other structures as mentioned above can also create havoc especially in the post earthquake relief scenario. The major focus being still thrust on buildings, we were also quite surprised to find that there is still much room for improvement in many of these structures, where technologies which are as old as 60 years are still in use (for instance earthquake response of retaining walls). We tried to improve upon many of them and believe that we have brought about
a number of innovative solutions that can be adapted in a design office environment and can also be used as a basis for further research.
While presenting the topic no demarcation is made between geotechnical and structural earthquake engineering. For, as a seismic specialist our job is to minimize the destruction of property and save human lives. Thus doing a structural design we can perform the most sophisticated analysis and provide the most expensive detailing and our building still fails due to liquefaction killing people__“no medals for doing an excellent structural design!”, so if you do something do it in totality and not in isolation and this has been our major endeavour- that we have tried to communicate to you through this book.
