The Code for Sustainable Homes provides an environmental assessment methodology for certifying the performance of new homes in England and Wales. It encourages a ‘step change’ in building practice that includes energy efficiency as a key element. Buildings are rated on a scale from Level 1 to Level 6,
where Level 6 is the highest.
Since May 2008 it is mandatory for all new homes to be rated (not necessarily assessed) against the Code. Buildings that are not assessed under the Code are awarded a ‘nil-rated’ certificate.

This publication provides design guidance for hot rolled steel framed buildings on the Eurocode strategies for structural robustness and designing for the avoidance of disproportionate collapse as required by the UK Building Regulations.
Guidance on recommended good practice is presented where the Eurocodes do not give requirements or where they are not specific and are open to interpretation. The scope of this publication is limited to application in the UK and reference is made to the UK National Annexes as appropriate. In addition to the design guidance, six worked examples are included to demonstrate the application of robustness strategies to different classes of building. Detailed guidance on the building classification process is also presented.

In as much as, now programming is an important item engineers must know for their researches and other fields of work, Let me kindly suggest you that in case it is possible, make a subsection to include issues on programming languages such as MATLAB, FORTRAN, C and etc.
This text deals systematically with the mathematical theory of plane elasto-statics by using complex variable methods, together with many results originated by the author. The problems considered are reduced to integral equations, Fredholem or singular, which are proved to be uniquely solvable. Particular attention is paid to the subjects of crack problems in the quite general case, especially those of composite media, which are solved by a unified method. The methods used in this book are constructive so that they may be used in practice.

While there are a growing number of high-resolution space-based systems for measuring precipitation, instances of the use of these products for surface hydrology are rare. This book, which covers both scientific and practical matters, aims to change that. With contributions from a panel of researchers from a wide range of fields, the chapters focus on evaluating the potential, utility and application of high resolution satellite precipitation products in relation to surface hydrology. Focusing on the way the algorithms for the precipitation products evolved, the accuracy assessment of those products in different regions of the world, and the application of the precipitation products to various decision support systems, the book is at the interface between satellite rainfall and surface hydrologic applications. It dwells on issues that are of concern at hydrologic scales of application. In doing so, it provides very useful information to practitioners, researchers and graduate students who need to explore the latest on satellite precipitation products for various hydrological purposes. Crucially, the book provides examples of real-world applications of satellite rainfall products in operational hydrology and real-time decision-making. This enables readers to understand the potential of satellite rainfall products for practical applications ranging from agricultural/crop monitoring to flood and landslide detection in developing countries.

This volume contains 25 review articles by experts which provide up-to-date information about the recent progress in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Due to the multidisciplinary nature of CFD, it is difficult to keep up with all the important developments in related areas. CFD Review 2010 would therefore be useful to researchers by covering the state-of-the-art in this fast-developing field.

After users post their threads, they only have limited time to edit them.
Why not allow user to edit them anytime they want?
What's the purpose to limit the edit time?

Steel beams with large web openings of various shapes and sizes
Author: Chung, K. F., Liu, C, H. & Ko, A. C. H. | Size: 625 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint
| Publisher: Journal of Constructional Research 59 | Year: 2003 | pages: 24
Vierendeel mechanism is always critical in steel beams with single large web openings.
While the depth of web openings controls both the shear and the flexural failures of the perfor-ated sections, it is the length of the web openings that governs the ‘Vierendeel’ mechanism which in turn depends on the local shear and moment apacities of the tee sections above and below the web opening. A comprehensive finite element investigation on steel beams with web openings of various shapes and sizes was reported in a complementary paper, and the primary structural characteristics of those steel beams were presented in detail.
