Arup’s Tall Buildings in Asia
Through a series of detailed case studies from East Asia, Arup, one of the global leaders in tall building design, presents the latest developments in the field to inspire more innovative and sustainable ideas in tall building design and engineering. This book exhibits the key design aspects of tall buildings in 20 case studies, from China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Japan. Chapters cover design and construction, safety concerns, sustainability strategies, BIM and optimisation solutions, and include contributions from the actual project engineers. The projects chosen are not the tallest buildings, but all of them have been selected for their significant engineering insights and values...
Guide to Natural Ventilation in High Rise Office Buildings
This guide sets out recommendations for every phase of the planning, construction and operation of natural ventilation systems in these buildings, including local climatic factors that need to be taken into account, how to plan for seasonal variations in weather, and the risks in adopting different implementation strategies. All of the recommendations are based on analysis of the research findings from richly-illustrated international case studies. This is the first technical guide from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat's Tall Buildings & Sustainability Working Group looking in depth at a key element in the creation of tall buildings with a much-reduced environmental impact, while taking the industry closer to an appreciation of what constitutes a sustainable tall building, and what factors affect the sustainability threshold for tall.

Advances in Steel Structures ICASS '96
These two volumes of proceedings contain 11 invited keynote papers and 172 contributed papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Steel Structures held on 11-14 December 1996 in Hong Kong. The papers cover a wide spectrum of topics and have been contributed from over 20 countries around the world. The conference, the first ever of its kind in Hong Kong, provided a forum for discussion and dissemination by researchers and designers of recent advances in the analysis, behaviour, design and construction of steel structures.The papers in the proceedings report the current state-of-the-art and point to the future directions of structural steel research. Volume I contains 93 papers on the analysis, behaviour, design and construction of framed structures and bridges, with 90 papers in Volume II dealing with plates, shells, analysis, optimization and computer applications, dynamics and seismic design, fatigue, and soil-structure interaction.
The Engineering Index Annual
Since its creation in 1884, Engineering Index has covered virtually every major engineering innovation from around the world. It serves as the historical record of virtually every major engineering innovation of the 20th century. Recent content is a vital resource for current awareness, new production information, technological forecasting and competitive intelligence. The world?s most comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering database, Engineering Index contains over 10.7 million records. Each year, over 500,000 new abstracts are added from over 5,000 scholarly journals, trade magazines, and conference proceedings. Coverage spans over 175 engineering disciplines from over 80 countries. Updated weekly.
Progettazione strutturale antincendio - Come sviluppare analisi strutturali e verifiche di sicurezza in caso di incendio - Include esempi svolti con il codice di calcolo Straus7
Questo libro espone i concetti fondamentali per la progettazione strutturale in caso di incendio e presenta la metodologia per lo sviluppo delle analisi strutturali che ne sono alla base. Attraverso tali analisi si simula realisticamente il comportamento di una costruzione, se ne valuta la effettiva capacità portante con una impostazione prestazionale e se ne giudica la robustezza contro un’azione estrema come l’incendio. L’attenzione è rivolta particolarmente alle costruzioni in acciaio che, per la suscettibilità di questo materiale alle alte temperature, risultano in generale delicate in caso di incendio: in questo caso però, una oculata organizzazione degli elementi strutturali può condurre ad un idoneo sistema strutturale e proprio una corretta analisi può efficacemente supportare una progettazione economicamente vantaggiosa. Il testo riassume circa quindici anni di insegnamento, ricerca, consulenza e partecipazione a comitati normativi dei tre autori nel campo della progettazione strutturale antincendio e presenta precisi esempi sviluppati con il codice di calcolo commerciale Straus7.
