Marketing Green Building Services: Strategies for Success presents all the information key decision-makers need to respond to the fast-growing market for green buildings, design and construction services and products. Completely updated, revised and expanded from the authors previous works, this book is the one resource you need to succeed in the green building marketplace.
With a sound grounding in contemporary marketing theory and practice, the book assembles hard-to-find information to assist executives and partners in design and construction firms in crafting competitive strategies that build on their firm strengths, while shoring up their weaknesses. Since most design and construction firms specialize in particular market sectors, the book systematically examines the important market segments for green buildings. It also presents key business case justifications for green buildings that help architects, engineers and builders to understand client motivations and respond to them with appropriate marketing tactics and communications strategies.
The book examines how the green building market is adopting certain new products and design approaches, information that will help manufacturers and product sales teams to craft appropriate marketing strategies. The book also helps owners and developers understand the green building business case and to find out what other leading-edge firms and projects have learned - how to market and sell green buildings and green developments in a highly competitive marketplace.
• Find out how leading-edge firms market and sell green buildings
• Develop strategies for success in this fast growing, constantly changing and highly competitive marketplace
• Learn how to understand client motivations and respond to them with appropriate marketing tactics and communications strategies

Despite growing international awareness of the presence and significance of ruined buildings and archaeological sites, and the increasingly sophisticated technology available for the collection of data about them, these sites continue to be at risk across the globe.
Conservation of Ruins defines and describes these risks, which range from neglect, to destructive archaeology, and even well-meaning intervention in the name of tourism. The book provides detailed, practical instruction on the conservation and stabilisation of ruins by structural and non-structural means, as well as describing the procedures and conditions that need to be in place to ensure the protection of our important historic sites.
In considering aspects of architectural conservation, archaeology and ecology together for the first time, this book provides an integrated, holistic view of this international topic that will be essential reading for those working in this field
* The only book that integrates philosophy, practical conservation, archaeology and ecology of ruined buildings and their states
* Demonstrates essential principles using international case studies
* Examines the key threats to ruins, and how to protect against them

his study first presents an extensive experimental research program on the true uniaxial and triaxial compression behavior for both high strength concrete (HSC) and steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC). The experimental study mainly focuses on the octahedral shear stress ~ strain relationship of those two types of concrete, which is adopted as the basis to develop a new incremental constitutive model. Emphasis is also put on the investigation of the variation of tangent Poisson's ratio under not only uniaxial but also triaxial stress conditions. The effect of cyclic loading on this parameter is also addressed.

modular plastic hinge seismic special detail has been developed for use in steel special moment frames (SMFs). The aim of the special detail design is to dissipate seismic energy through stable yielding of a beam “link” in plastic hinge region. Reliable and repeatable energy dissipation at high ductility is assured through the elimination of weld failure modes, and the mitigation of local buckling and high multi-axis restraint. A casting process is used to configure the modular detail directly to meet these performance objectives. The primary features of the link region are an isolated flange with an integrally cast stiffener and a reduced section isolated web.
Two forms of the detail exist: a plastic hinge modular node (PH-MN) and a bolted alternative, the bolted plastic hinge connector (BPHC). The PH-MN, a “node” occupying the entire beam-to-column joint, was used to develop the concept. The PH-MN configuration removes the field weld from the critical cross-section, reduces triaxiality and eliminates through-thickness failure modes at the beam/column interface. The BPHC preserves the primary features of the PH-MN and provides performance at nearly the same efficiency, but, as a replaceable field-bolted component, is significantly more economical, improves modularity, and has certain practical advantages. A design procedure was developed to create a family of modular designs.

A plastic hinge is a type of energy dampening device allowing plastic rotation
of an otherwise rigid column connection. This device is composed of a weakened portion
of the column prevented from rotating by relatively small steel members. These small
bars are designed to yield and allow rotation before the capacity of the column is reached,
thus acting as mechanical fuses protecting the column from fatigue. After a seismic event
the fuse bars can be easily replaced, restoring the column to its original condition. To
function properly the hinge must become plastic before the column above it yields, but
limiting the deflection at the top of the column is also desirable for the stability of the
overlying structure, necessitating a hinge with some degree of strength. The
experimental setup of this study was constructed in the University at Buffalo’s Structural
Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory in 2004 and was comprised of a steel
column subjected to lateral displacement at the top with a plastic hinge fixed at the base,
simulating earthquake-induced ground motion on a bridge column. The purpose of this
research was to develop an accurate model of the column-hinge system in the elastic
range of the fuse bars, allowing consideration of the above design criteria for later testing.
Plastic behavior of the fuse bars was not tested. Experimental data was generated using a
quasi-static cyclic loading pattern. The behavior of the system was shown to be in
agreement with the analytical model.
