Qatar 2022 and AS&P release proposals for five stadiums in bid for FIFA World Cup 2022
2022 may seem a long way off, but that hasn’t stopped Qatar 2022 from releasing the concept designs for its proposed stadiums, should the country win the bid to host the FIFA World Cup at this time. Designed by Albert Speer & Partner GmbH, the stadiums display striking and dramatic facades and incorporate state-of-the-art technology in an effort to stand out from the crowd bidding to host this popular tournament.

P-delta design in seismic regions
MacRae, Gregory A.; Priestley, M. J. N.; Tao, Jian
SSRP-93/05, Dept. of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences, University of California, San Diego, Structural Systems Research Project, 1993-06, PDF (5.4 MB) (500/S778/93/05)
Rational and simple design recommendations concerning the design of structures in seismic regions are made based on the response of single-degree of freedom oscillators and an understanding of dynamic response. The recommendations relate to when the P-delta effect can be ignored, how to conduct design for P-delta when it cannot be ignored, and the effect of P-delta acting along the member length. As a background to these recommendations, a literature summary is provided and the inelastic behavior of oscillators is described.

SBIC’s Green Buildilng Guildelines was the first national green home building resource written by builders for builders. While it is still primarily a builder’s
guide, the information will be valuable to anyone who wants to learn more about the various aspects that make up green home design. For example,
homeowners may find it a valuable resource when working with a builder.
The Table of Contents is organized by the Sustainability Principles (optimize site design, save energy and water, improve indoor environmental quality,
use green products and systems, and optimize O&M). You will also find a Builder’s Matrix, organized by the stages of a project (land development,
construction waste management, foundations, framing, exterior finishing, HVAC, interior finishing, landscaping, etc.).
The text has been organized to acquaint the reader with basic concepts and provides resources that offer more detailed information. At the end of each
section, you will find “Interactions,” which are references to other sections of the book describing design strategies, systems, components, or materials
that may interact in important ways with the topic of the chapter.

Author: Patrick L. Abbott | Size: 142 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | pages: 512 | ISBN: 0073369373
Natural Disasters, 8th edition, is marked by major changes in organization and expanded coverage of weather and climate. The discussion of natural disasters is based on 4 main energy flows: 1) Earth's internal energy flow underlies earthquakes and volcanoes, 2) the external energy flow from the Sun fuels weather and climate including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, 3) gravity acts to pull down mass movements of earth and snow, and 4) impacts with asteroids and comets can have major effects on life. The book focuses on the Earth's natural processes and the disasters that occur when the Earth concentrates its energy and releases it to causing death and destruction. Throughout the book, certain themes are maintained:
energy sources underlying disasters
plate tectonics and climate change;
earth processes operating in rock, water, and atmosphere;
significance of geologic time;
complexities of multiple variables operating simultaneously;
detailed and readable case studies.

At the dawn of the 21st century, computational stochastic dynamics is an emerging research frontier. This book focuses on advanced computational methods and software tools which can highly assist in tackling complex problems in stochastic dynamic/seismic analysis and design of structures. The book is primarily intended for researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of computational mechanics and stochastic structural dynamics. Nevertheless, practice engineers as well could benefit from it as most code provisions tend to incorporate probabilistic concepts in the analysis and design of structures. The book addresses mathematical and numerical issues in stochastic structural dynamics and connects them to real-world applications. It consists of 16 chapters dealing with recent advances in a wide range of related topics (dynamic response variability and reliability of stochastic systems, risk assessment, stochastic simulation of earthquake ground motions, efficient solvers for the analysis of stochastic systems, dynamic stability, stochastic modelling of heterogeneous materials). Numerical examples demonstrating the significance of the proposed methods are presented in each chapter.

This fully revised fourth edition of Max Lay’s well-established reference work covers all aspects of the technology of roads and road transport, and urban and rural road technology. It forms a comprehensive but accessible reference for all professionals and students interested in roads, road transport and the wide range of disciplines involved with roads.
International in scope, it begins with the preliminary construction procedures; from road planning policies and design considerations to the selection of materials and the building of roads and bridges. It then explores road operating environments that include driver behaviour, traffic flow, lighting and maintenance, and assesses the cost, economics, transport implications and environmental impact of road use.
It draws on Max Lay’s unparalleled consulting and operational experience in the financing, planning, design, construction, operation and management of roads in various countries. It forms an indispensable resource for transport planning, engineering, operations and economics.
