In 2008, a used house in the U.S. averaged $244,000. That is far more than the average American can afford. Jay Shafer shatters the myth that affordable housing needs to be cheap. In his book, Jay reveals the ugly truth about residential planning and the needless overbuilding that is, in part, to blame for today's mortgage crisis. Did you know that you can't build a house as tiny as the one Jay lives in? That is, unless you know the loopholes! He's done the research, and shares it with you. You'll learn why it is necessary to build on wheels, and see the process of attaching a house to a trailer with step-by-step instructions and pictures. Jay Shafer, the author, personally built a dozen tiny houses and lived in 3 different ones. He is recognized as a leader in the Small House Movement.

With many cities around the globe bursting at the seams, town planners are starting to create smaller lot sizes with which to accommodate our growing populations, while at the same time avoiding environmental impact on our rural spaces. As a result, architects and designers are pushing the boundaries to make best use of the available space. In this book, we take a look at some of these solutions and help you to think outside the square, to create a house that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical for modern living.

A highly illustrative account of what is now in British Architecture, this new publication walks the reader through some of Britain’s finest houses. Filled with the best architectural projects from around the Untied Kingdom, the reader will be instructed on how they can achieve a result that says ‘wow’ and be introduced to the firms producing the work. People within the architectural and design industry and consumers alike will love this book. Edited by Gary Takle who has an eye for finding a design that has that certain ‘best of the best’ appeal.

Author: M. Okrouhlık | Size: 4.3 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Institute of Thermomechanics, Prague 2008 | Year: 2012 | pages: 350 | ISBN: -
Introduction:
The presented publication might be of interest to students, teachers and researchers who are compelled to solve nonstandard tasks in solid and/or fluid mechanics requiring large scale computation.
The presented publication might be of interest to human problem solvers in continuum mechanics, who are not professional programmers by education, but by destiny and/or by personal inquisitiveness are compelled to resolve nonstandard tasks stemming from the field of solid and/or fluid mechanics requiring large sized computation.
It is dedicated to matrix algebra, in its broadest sense, which allows for the transparent formulations of principles of continuum mechanics as well as for effective notations of algebraic operations with large data objects frequently appearing in solution of continuum mechanics problems by methods discretizing continuum in time and space.
The publication has been prepared by eight authors.
The publication is composed of contributions of two kinds.
• First, there are contributions dealing with fundamentals and the background of numerical mathematics in computational mechanics, accompanied by templates and programs, which are explaining the standard matrix operations (chapter 2) 7
CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 8
and procedures needed for the solution of basic tasks as the solution of linear algebraic systems, generalized eigenvalue problem, solution of nonlinear task and the solution of ordinary differential equations, etc. (Chapters 3, 4, 5). We focus on nonstandard storage schemes, chapter (11), allowing to tackle large scale tasks. By a template we understand a general broad term description of the algorithm using high level metastatements like invert the matrix, or check the convergence. The
programs accompanying the text are written in Basic, Pascal, Fortran, Matlab and C#. The presented programs are rather short and trivial and are primarily intended for reading. The e-book readers (or users?) are encouraged to fiddle with these programs.
• Second, there are advanced contributions describing modern approaches to numerical algorithmization with emphasis to novelty, programming efficiency and/or to complicated mechanical tasks as the contact treatment.
The attention is devoted to
– domain decomposition methods, (Chapter 7),
– BDDC methods, and FETI-DP methods , (Chapter 8),
– the BFGS method applied to a new contact algorithm, (Chapter 9),
– frontal solution method, (Chapter 10),
– details of sparse storage modes, (Chapter 11),
– intricacies of object programming approach, (Chapter 12),
– programming the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian approach to the solid-fluid problem, (Chapter 13), etc.
Programming considerations for parallel treatment are observed. These contributions have their origin in papers that the contributing authors recently published in scientific journals and/or presented at conferences.
Personal review:
A must have, very useful book it has source code written in basic, fortran, matlab, c#, pascal, for solving system of equations. Gauss, pivot, partial pivot....
It also deals with truncation errors and other computational errors.
If you're at the beginning in writing a solvers for finite element analysis matrix method use this book, code has comments and explanation all is provided clear, clean and easy to understand.
This book although is free has helped me more than many other expensive ones.

During the ACI 318-89 and ACI 318-95 code seminars, engineers and architects asked repeatedly about when the ACI 318 Building Code would include design provisions for anchorage to concrete. For the last several years, ACI Committees 318 (Standard Building Code), 349 (Concrete Nuclear Sructures), and 355 (Anchorage to Concrete) have worked diligently on developing such provisions. As discussed in the Introduction of this publication, Committee 318 came very close to completing an Appendix D to ACI 318-99, with code provisions and commentary, for strength design of anchorage to concrete. ACI 318 Appendix D continues to be processed under the ACI consensus process. The code provisions and commentary of the proposed ACI 318 Appendix D for cast-in-Place anchors only are reproduced in Appendices A and B of this document, respectively. The contents of Appendices A and B are copyrighted material and reproduced with permission from the American Concrete Institute (ACI). These two appendices are not an official ACI document, but rather part of a document being processed as an ACI consensus standard. The document, as well as the final consensus standard, will be the copyright of ACI. With permission from ACI, the design provisions of Appendix A of this publication are incorporated, with limited amendments, into the first edition of the International Building Code (IBC 2000) as Section 1913.
The primary purpose for publishing this document is to assist the engineer and architect in the implementation of the design provisions for anchorage to concrete. Six design examples illustrate the application of the design provisions for single and group anchors; subject to tension, shear, or combined tension and shear; with or without eccentricity; and with or without edge effects.
