This book details topics fundamental to the efficient operation of modern commercial farms and highlights advanced research that will enable next-generation wind energy technologies. In addition to fundamental concepts, the reader will be exposed to comprehensive treatments of topics like wake dynamics, analysis of complex turbine blades, and power electronics in small-scale wind turbine systems.
The book is organized into three sections, Inflow and Wake Influences on Turbine Performance, Turbine Structural Response, and Power Conversion, Control and Integration.

A 'General Approach to Dam Surveillance' is presented here, for owners, managers and other non specialists.
Dam Surveillance is a basic element in Dam Safety processes within the current legal frameworks. It covers a series of complementary and redundant activities, made of visual inspections, dam documentation management, monitoring, equipment checking and testing, and assessment of dam condition and behaviour.

International Workshop on Fluid-Structure Interaction
Theory, Numerics and Applications
Author: Meister, Andreas / Hartmann, Stefan / Schäfer, Michael / Turek, Stefan (Editor) | Size: 34 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: kassel university press | Year: 2009 | pages: 280 | ISBN: 978-3-89958-666-4
The objective of this book is to reflect the state of the art in fluid-structure interaction presented by engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists. The content contributes to a subject which is mainly driven by the collaboration of scientists working in different disciplines. This interaction can be seen in the presented topics of, for example, blood-artery components, motion of largely deformed structures in flow channels, aero-dynamical behavior of planes, a tribune roof under wind excitation, or the cooling process in metal forming applications where only a few physical problems are mentioned.

Please share documents and if possible a model of a large tent.
A model in Forten2000 or/and Oasys GSA will be highly appreciated and rewarded.
Also design notes or drawings.
Here are some samples of what I'm requesting:

A sequential approach to construction project management, this text describes "pencil and paper" techniques for establishing project goals and objectives, arranging the set goals into a network and determining a time schedule for reaching the objectives. By covering the basics of preparing project schedules, a firm foundation is built for readers before they proceed into constructing task networks and developing more advanced computer applications.

As a construction project manager, achieving this while maintaining quality is the most valuable package you can offer your clients. Of course, its value derives largely from it's difficulty – if it were easy to complete jobs entirely to plan then it would happen rather more often.
Using a combination of worked examples and case studies, this book examines how projects go over-cost, what lessons can be learned from past examples and what approaches have successfully been employed. Example case studies include:
The Scottish Parliament
Wembley Stadium
Heathrow Terminal 5.
If you're studying Surveying or Construction Management, or starting out as a Construction Cost Manager and need to plan or assess construction projects then this is the book for you.

Author: Mohamed A. El-Reedy | Size: 19 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | Year: 2011 | pages: 406 | ISBN: 9780470878163
This book presents techniques for effective and successful project management across all phases of the project, covering all of the management tools and leadership skills for any industrial project. It presents advanced modern tools for use by management and engineers in decision making, and it covers the gap between project management theories of the actual project. This volume is a "one-stop shop" for project and construction management of industrial projects, for engineers, managers, owners, and anyone else working on the project.

This book presents the proceedings of an international symposium which aimed to establish at the highest level the best practice and research in three important scientific and technical themes within the domain of residentaionl builsings across the European Community: quality management and liability building economics construction management. In addition the symposium will discuss the future evolution and development of each theme.

Cost models underlie all the techniques used in construction cost and price forecasting, yet until relatively recently industry has been unfamiliar with their characteristics and properties. An understanding of the various types of cost model is vital to enable effective cost control and the development of future forecasting techniques.This volume brings together more than 20 seminal contributions to building cost modelling and introduces the major landmarks in progress and thinking in this field:* strategies and directions* explorations in cost modelling* cost-product/process modelling* dealing with uncertaintyThe strong techniques bias of this book will appeal to construction professionals involved in estimating, as well as researchers and students of building economics.
