The recent introduction of active and passive structural control methods has given structural designers powerful tools for performance-based design. However, structural engineers often lack the tools for the optimal selection and placement of such systems. In Building Control with Passive Dampers , Takewaki brings together most the reliable, state-of-the-art methods in practice around the world, arming readers with a real sense of how to address optimal selection and placement of passive control systems.
The first book on optimal design, sizing, and location selection of passive dampers
Combines theory and practical applications
Describes step-by-step how to obtain optimal damper size and placement
Covers the state-of-the-art in optimal design of passive control
Integrates the most reliable techniques in the top literature and used in practice worldwide
Written by a recognized expert in the area
MATLAB code examples available from the book’s Companion Website
This book is essential for post-graduate students, researchers, and design consultants involved in building control. Professional engineers and advanced undergraduates interested in seismic design, as well as mechanical engineers looking for vibration damping techniques, will also find this book a helpful reference.

Minitab software package is the statistical processing. It was developed in the University of Pennsylvania as a lightweight version OMNITAB , tatistical analysis program developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology . Today Minitab is often used in combination with the use of techniques of Six Sigma , CMMI and other statistical procedures, based on the methods of development.

Offshore Structures: Design, Construction and Maintenance
Author:Mohamed A. El-Reedy
Hardcover: 664 pages
Publisher: Gulf Professional Publishing; 1 edition (July 31, 2012)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 012385475X
ISBN-13: 978-0123854759
With most of the easy gas and oil reserves discovered and prices rebounding, companies are now drilling far offshore in extreme weather condition environments. As deepwater wells are drilled to greater depths, engineers and designers are confronted with new problems such as water depth, weather conditions, ocean currents, equipment reliability, and well accessibility. Offshore Structure Design, Construction and Maintenance covers all types of offshore structures and platforms employed worldwide.
The ultimate reference for selecting, operating and maintaining offshore structures, this book provides a road map for designing structures which will stand up even in the harshest environments. The selection of the proper type of offshore structure is discussed from a technical and economic point of view. The design procedure for the fixed offshore structure will be presented and how to review the design to reach the optimum solution. Nonlinear analysis (Push over) analysis will be presented as a new technique to design and assess the existing structure. Pile design and tubular joint with the effect of fatigue loading will be presented also from a theoretical and a practical point of view.
With this book in hand, engineers receive the most up-to-date methods for performing a structural life cycle analysis; implement maintenance plans for topsides and jackets, using non destructive testing. Under water inspection is discussed for hundreds of platforms in detail. Advanced repair methodology for scour, marine growth and damaged or deteriorating members are discussed. Risk based under water inspection techniques are covered from a practical pint of view. In addition, the book will be supported by an online modeling and simulation program with will allow designers to save time and money by verifying assumptions online.
One stop guide to offshore structure design and analysis
Easy to understand methods for structural life cycle analysis
Expert advice for designing offshore platforms for all types of environments
Save time and money by verifying designs online

Provides a number of useful methods and a unique practical perspective on settlement calculation of high-rise buildings
Includes detailed settlement data research results for more than 30 tall buildings (100m-420m high)
Useful design and construction resource for scientists and engineers, as well as for professionals in structural mechanics and geotechnical engineering
"Settlement Calculation on High-Rise Buildings: Theory and Application" discusses, for the first time, the latest developments in settlement calculation theory and case studies including analysis and research results for more than thirty high-rise buildings with a height of 100m-420m. Rigorously reviewed, this book provides a number of useful methods and a unique practical perspective on settlement calculation of high-rise buildings. It covers soft soil constitutive model and computation parameters, the theory of soil stress and strain, and new methods of settlement calculation in super long pile and space-varying rigidity group piles, box(raft), pile-box(raft), diaphragm wall-pile-box(raft) and rock foundation on high-rise buildings. This book is a useful design and construction resource for scientists and engineers, as well as for professionals in structural mechanics and geotechnical engineering.

Architects, urban planners, and urban designers, as well as water resources engineers and landscape architects will discover that Design for Flooding presents the best practices and lessons to create buildings and communities that are more resilient in the face of severe weather, climate change, and the prospect of rising sea level.
Design for Flooding covers technical and institutional issues—along with new design and business opportunities—built upon:
Fundamentals of climate and weather, stormwater and floodplain management
Best practices of flood-resistant design and adaption to sea level rise
Multidisciplinary design that integrates sound ecological and engineering principles
Innovative design and construction to protect and improve water security
"Design for Flooding defines the need and opportunity for planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, and conservation biologists to work together to develop the mix of inland and coastal flooding solutions required for a comprehensive response to climate change."
—From the Foreword by Daniel Williams, FAIA, author of Sustainable Design: Ecology, Architecture, and Planning
"Design for Flooding should be a major tool for the design professions, for public agencies, and for civic activists, indeed for everyone who wishes to bring a genuinely 'intelligent' design for water to their communities. It is a call to action and demonstrates that we have the knowledge, the tools, and the capability to better manage the water system on which we depend."
—From the Foreword by Carol Franklin, FASLA
A portfolio of award-winning designs illustrates practical and visionary projects to prepare for a resilient future, including:
A case study of Climate's Long-term Impacts on Metro Boston (CLIMB) analyzes four alternatives to prepare for climate change
A design charrette sponsored by The Regional Plan Association of New York illustrates creative concepts for waterfront revitalization and flood protection
Lessons from the Netherlands, Japan, and the United States indicate the effectiveness of long-term preparedness planning combined with phased mitigation and renewal projects
Examples include renovations and small buildings, showing how every project at any scale is a design opportunity to increase the sustainability and resilience of our communities, water, and ecosystem services
