As a construction material, the versatility of concrete and its intrinsic benefits mean it is still well placed to meet challenges of the construction industry. Indeed, concrete has kept evolving to satisfy ever more stringent, as well as demanding design requirements and calls to improve the performance. This has been achieved through the introduction of new constituent materials, technologies and construction methods.</p><br /><p>The current challenges faced by <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">concrete construction</span> may not necessarily be the same as those in the future. However, an ongoing programme of innovation and product development means that concrete should continue to provide cost effective sustainable solutions that are able to turn a challenge into an opportunity.</p><br /><p>This book is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation (Kingston-upon-Thames, UK, 9–10 September 2008). Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation deals with recent innovation in concrete science, technology and practice, and discusses challenges from new materials, technologies,<br />environmental concerns and <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">economic</span> factors in maintaining concrete construction excellence. The book will be of interest to engineers, designers, researchers and scientists.</p> <br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/275665628/0415475929_Concrete_Construction.rar">http://rapidshare.com/files/275665628/0415475929_Concrete_Construction.rar</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027103131535282544.post-50215375704555881702009-12-27T01:08:00.000-08:002009-12-27T07:18:54.192-08:00Золотая книга приусадебного участка<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkURmkwXBa10wqNlCGwn8f70nZ_RvS1RKLphJ7WSJmbO3U79aMGsl1ZV7Ww14gxPZ6_EkkqNkKM6uiRFTk6LI1sKEp1qOIb64-7ho_7zQlI298UCTCwAv8HzEhO7e75tQf9Gcs5VOLrLo/s1600-h/1252093693-000f4bfbmedium.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkURmkwXBa10wqNlCGwn8f70nZ_RvS1RKLphJ7WSJmbO3U79aMGsl1ZV7Ww14gxPZ6_EkkqNkKM6uiRFTk6LI1sKEp1qOIb64-7ho_7zQlI298UCTCwAv8HzEhO7e75tQf9Gcs5VOLrLo/s200/1252093693-000f4bfbmedium.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419840409764435778" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="summary"><h2>Золотая книга приусадебного участка Summary:</h2></div> <div><br /><div> Вече | ISBN: 5953301480 | 2008 год | PDF | 6,2 mb | 337 стр</div><br />Данная книга предназначена для широкого круга читателей, уже владеющих дачами или только планирующих их приобрести.

Комплект взаимосвязанных чертежей, выполненных разнообразными графическими приемами, дает такую информацию. Графика — основной специфический язык инженера-строителя и архитектора. Современная архитектурно-строительная графика весьма многообразна, так как охватывает все виды средств, с помощью которых пространственные формы изображаются на плоскости.<br />В этой связи графика опирается на начертательную геометрию — науку о методах изображения пространственных форм на плоскости.<br />В зависимости от назначения чертежа и замысла исполнителя могут быть применены различные приемы повышения художественной выразительности изображения.<br />Учебные чертежи включают в себя все основные элементы иллюстративных, основных и рабочих чертежей, которые имеют свои особенности, связанные со спецификой учебного процесса. Во время обучения учебные проекты на той или иной стадии проектирования выполняются иногда без соблюдения ГОСТов как иллюстративные (или демонстрационные) чертежи.<br />Учебный проект — это комплект чертежей, выполненных на разных стадиях (учебный чертеж может объединять в себе качества иллюстративного и рабочего чертежа одновременно). Такое совмещение дает возможность обучать студентов различным графическим приемам и правилам выполнения архитектурно-строительных чертежей. Конкретные знания, необходимые для выполнения чертежей, и навыки их художественной разработки расширяют кругозор студентов и стимулируют творческий подход к решению графических задач.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LYP1S56L">http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LYP1S56L</a><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027103131535282544.post-48254311240309823102009-12-27T01:05:00.000-08:002010-01-01T07:03:47.977-08:00Renaturierung von Oekosystemen in Mitteleuropa<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwijhFWzeJjs4gzmd1VtkDAhA0l49cNVAs-SWTnIlUOMWCv_2JrBfaJSoE6J8WWSHJsnBoTnWF4tgqVGqeg5OQKKdAuDihaxmNeXkSrzUry5C3Nexmn2aLihuZZLFePGnt9d0Iy1gNRMM/s1600-h/Renaturierung+von+Oekosystemen+in+Mitteleuropa.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwijhFWzeJjs4gzmd1VtkDAhA0l49cNVAs-SWTnIlUOMWCv_2JrBfaJSoE6J8WWSHJsnBoTnWF4tgqVGqeg5OQKKdAuDihaxmNeXkSrzUry5C3Nexmn2aLihuZZLFePGnt9d0Iy1gNRMM/s200/Renaturierung+von+Oekosystemen+in+Mitteleuropa.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419839839464812146" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="summary"><h2>Renaturierung von Oekosystemen in Mitteleuropa Summary:</h2></div> <br /><div> Spektrum Verlag | 10-2008 | ISBN-10: 3827419018 | 13 MB | PDF | Retail | 532 Seiten | German</div> Note : Weltweit sind viele natürliche Biotope (u.a.

Dieser Trend kann nur durch zielgerichtete Renaturierung umgekehrt werden, um für zukünftige Generationen lebenswerte Bedingungen zu erhalten.In diesem Lehrbuch werden die konzeptionellen Grundlagen der Ökosystemrenaturierung erarbeitet und die abiotischen und biotischen Parameter erläutert. In den Kapiteln zu den einzelnen Ökosystemtypen der mitteleuropäischen Natur- und Kulturlandschaft werden jeweilsderen typische Ausprägungen,die Beeinträchtigungen durch den Menschen,die spezifischen Renaturierungsziele und Erfahrungen undErfolge sowie Probleme der Renaturierung aus wissenschaftlicher und praktischer Perspektive beschrieben.Eigene Kapitel beschäftigen sich mit den umweltethischen Hintergründen einer Ökosystemrenaturierung, den ökonomischen Faktoren und den Akteuren in der Renaturierung. Abschließend werden die Herausforderungen für die Zukunft der Renaturierungsökologie hervorgehoben.Das Lehrbuch soll Studierenden unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen (Biologie, Ökologie, Landschaftsökologie, Geografie, Umweltplanung, <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">Naturschutz und Landschaftsplanung</span>, Landespflege sowie Umwelt- und Ressourcenschutz) ein Grundlagenwerk an die Hand geben, mit dessen Hilfe sie das vorliegende Wissen reflektieren und fachgerecht anwenden können. Außerdem soll das Buch Wissenschaftler und in der Renaturierungspraxis tätige Personen dazu anhalten, die noch bestehenden Wissenslücken gezielt durch weitergehende Forschungen zu schließen.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://upinall.com/download.php?uid=0M6PHMAQ">http://upinall.com/download.php?uid=0M6PHMAQ</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027103131535282544.post-90905150900516669142009-12-27T01:03:00.000-08:002009-12-27T09:10:21.830-08:00Performance and Durability of the Window-Wall Interface<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMS8Lf2ZDvSX7copTqkHAJsUxxJhUOgWUQsDfUhqHkpR1OqoiyVh0okfixrmbQRb01BiZy-lPOAQ9Kl6InXbO3hRhzqB7yHwleDkzDfIT-0fem0DuJuVW_yry8DwIroOibyaySdMu2LOo/s1600-h/Performance+and+Durability+of+the+Window-Wall+Interface.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 115px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMS8Lf2ZDvSX7copTqkHAJsUxxJhUOgWUQsDfUhqHkpR1OqoiyVh0okfixrmbQRb01BiZy-lPOAQ9Kl6InXbO3hRhzqB7yHwleDkzDfIT-0fem0DuJuVW_yry8DwIroOibyaySdMu2LOo/s200/Performance+and+Durability+of+the+Window-Wall+Interface.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419839389562136066" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="summary"><h2>Performance and Durability of the Window-Wall Interface (ASTM special technical publication, 1484) Summary:</h2></div> <br />By <strong>Barry G.

The first comprehensive history of these world-famous monsters, The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame argues that they transformed the iconic thirteenth-century cathedral into a modern monument. Michael Camille begins his long-awaited study by recounting architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc’s ambitious restoration of the structure from 1843 to 1864, when the gargoyles were designed, sculpted by the little-known Victor Pyanet, and installed. These gargoyles, Camille contends, were not mere avatars of the Middle Ages, but rather fresh creations—symbolizing an imagined past—whose modernity lay precisely in their nostalgia. He goes on to map the critical reception and many-layered afterlives of these chimeras, notably in the works of such artists and writers as Charles Méryon, Victor Hugo, and photographer Henri Le Secq. Tracing their eventual evolution into icons of high kitsch, Camille ultimately locates the gargoyles’ place in the twentieth-century imagination, exploring interpretations by everyone from Winslow Homer to the Walt Disney Company. Lavishly illustrated with more than three hundred images of its monumental yet whimsical subjects, The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame is a must-read for historians of art and architecture and anyone whose imagination has been sparked by the lovable monsters gazing out over Paris from one of the world’s most renowned vantage points.</div> </div></div> <br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/275986023/0226092453_Gargoyles.rar">http://rapidshare.com/files/275986023/0226092453_Gargoyles.rar</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027103131535282544.post-40766955028218729522009-12-27T00:51:00.000-08:002010-01-01T12:05:06.349-08:00Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfgqe8u7jmDXSld4Z_fu3r9nWFdOM0ooWiHGDv5jEBxVNr5ShtiyHLLWOQ9cJRRRpcZFIMrYEfgYQy7B6qPnugNGOq9CWkRtgPMPrzDWJRf-3Vj5chi-Do5p_R5WrXVdpufk8fzB7ccg/s1600-h/Illumination+and+Decoration+of+Flat+Surfaces.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 138px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfgqe8u7jmDXSld4Z_fu3r9nWFdOM0ooWiHGDv5jEBxVNr5ShtiyHLLWOQ9cJRRRpcZFIMrYEfgYQy7B6qPnugNGOq9CWkRtgPMPrzDWJRf-3Vj5chi-Do5p_R5WrXVdpufk8fzB7ccg/s200/Illumination+and+Decoration+of+Flat+Surfaces.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419836164495591586" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="summary"><h2>Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces Summary:</h2></div> <br />By <strong>Bob Cameron</strong><br /><ul><li> <strong>Publisher:</strong> CSIRO Publishing </li><li> <strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 32 </li><li> <strong>Publication Date:</strong> 2009-10 </li><li> <strong>ISBN-10 / ASIN:</strong> 0643094903 </li><li> <strong>ISBN-13 / EAN:</strong> 9780643094901 </li></ul> <strong>Product Description: </strong><br /><p>It must be appreciated that no building surface is perfectly flat and that the best that can be expected is the appearance of flatness. Unfortunately, this appearance can easily be destroyed by the effect of glancing light, whether natural or artificial. Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces shows the effect of different light sources on a variety of lining materials and paints so that best effects can be achieved. Different types of building surfaces are investigated, including set plaster, fibrous plaster, hardboard and gypsum board with gloss and semi-gloss paint applied. This full-color edition also discusses new building materials such as cement sheet, polystyrene and various composite panels, as well as new building practices, low embodied energy materials and higher energy efficiency of buildings. Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces is a must-have for people involved in the building industry, both commercial and residential.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/275990683/0643094903_Flat_Surfaces.rar">http://rapidshare.com/files/275990683/0643094903_Flat_Surfaces.rar</a><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027103131535282544.post-6739188960000167992009-12-27T00:48:00.000-08:002009-12-27T11:37:12.536-08:00Chauffage, isolation et ventilation écologique<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ3SYEuS-ZEmnXsY6js7OOUJhmS9C4xOIZBoiRpJdiUW07rcVZ2hg14bBZVNhm6ahGnpAUypa1bT6njWIsmru4-X1KCMffOmY8xS_0_skfN1RmQ8Qz0v_AR4CRlcXL77PMa5XBzR78G1g/s1600-h/Chauffage,+isolation+et+ventilation+%C3%A9cologique.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 126px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ3SYEuS-ZEmnXsY6js7OOUJhmS9C4xOIZBoiRpJdiUW07rcVZ2hg14bBZVNhm6ahGnpAUypa1bT6njWIsmru4-X1KCMffOmY8xS_0_skfN1RmQ8Qz0v_AR4CRlcXL77PMa5XBzR78G1g/s200/Chauffage,+isolation+et+ventilation+%C3%A9cologique.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419835337402778418" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="summary"><h2>Chauffage, isolation et ventilation écologique Summary:</h2></div> <br />By <strong>Paul de Haut</strong><br /><ul><li> <strong>Publisher:</strong> Eyrolles </li><li> <strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 179 </li><li> <strong>Publication Date:</strong> 2007-06-21 </li><li> <strong>ISBN-10 / ASIN:</strong> 2212121059 </li><li> <strong>ISBN-13 / EAN:</strong> 9782212121056 </li></ul><br /><strong>Présentation de l'éditeur</strong><br />Réduire ses coûts de chauffage est un véritable sujet d'actualité, et il n'est pas toujours aisé d'opter pour les bonnes solutions...

C'est pourtant le cas de ce guide : - il lie ENFIN les problèmes d'isolation, de chauffage et de ventilation, - il explique clairement les mécanismes et les enjeux croisés de ces thèmes et ne se contente pas de faire l'apologie de telle ou telle technique ou matériaux écolo à la mode ! - il ne s'adresse pas seulement aux spécialistes mais permet au débutant de se créer une réelle culture éconologique sur l'amélioration de son habitat, - il sait se démarquer et être critique sur certains procédés à la mode qui ne présentent pas que des avantages (Puits canadien ou VMC double-flux par exemple) ; il s'intéresse autant aux principes qu'aux produits, - Enfin, c'est un des moins cher de son secteur ce qui le rend accessible à tous. En tant que professionnel en Eco-habitat sain, je ne peux que le recommander à tous ceux qui s'intéressent au sujet. Il vaut en effet largement quelques-autres qui sont plus des catalogues de produits souvent très onéreux.

This volume is an absolute feast, beautifully illustrated, and with its unusual organization into two well-linked sections, remarkably usable. It can be read cover-to-cover for the fasinating long essays that place each author's point-of-view within the broader academic debates and for the entertaining but informative shorter entries. But it's also a terrific encyclopedia-style reference manual which I refer to often, with rich further references on most topics. A model of imaginative clarity.</p> <strong>Summary: </strong>A Real Feast of a Book<br /><strong>Rating: </strong>5<br /><p>This Oxford Companion is one of the most engrossing of all reference works. The book is divided into two hefty sections. The first contains 41 substantial essays on general themes of the era, such as "Revolution," "Industrialization," and "Empire." The essays are written by leading scholars including Jerome McGann, and each essay is concluded with a brief bibliography, which is a great aid to research. Moreover, the essays are fully indexed. This in itself would be a great read, but it's only half the book. The second section of the Companion is a 375-page encyclopedia containing short articles on a whole range of significant contributors to European romanticism, as well as longer articles on the period's various genres, movements, events, and minor themes. What's more, the two sections of the book are fully cross-referenced, and the book is well illustrated throughout. This Companion should be on the "Recommended Reading" list for every undergraduate Romantic-era history or literature course. Not only that, it should be read, as well!

The state of Washington uses semi-integral bridges almost exclusively, while, depending on subfoundation characteristics, the state of Ohio and others use a mix of these two bridge types. </p> <p> </p> <p> Integral and Semi-Integral Bridges has been written by a practicing bridge design engineer who has spent his entire career involved in the origination, evaluation and design of suchbridges in the USA, where they have been in use since the late 1930’s. This work shows how the analytical complexity due to the elimination of movable joints can be minimized to negligible levels so that most moderate lengthbridges can be easily and quickly modified or replaced with either integral or semi-integral bridges. </p> <p> </p> <p> Bridge design, construction, and maintenance engineers; bridge design administrators; graduate level engineering students and structural research professionals will all find this book exceptionally informative for a wide range of highway bridge applications. </p> <br /><a href="http://upinall.com/download.php?uid=0KXMFIQL">http://upinall.com/download.php?uid=0KXMFIQL<br /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027103131535282544.post-32846352671073470372009-12-27T00:45:00.001-08:002010-01-01T07:17:16.304-08:00Partnerships in Property Development<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ98uymCnBSjt5bkthOXO2z2bMnhZz-XXinW6B8SuavYyXsP9mB4BADcmQOzbUF7KofTmlfFlF4VsdBiwxPiKFewnidAQp7Gyv9gy1RpExMdXSxC_ukkx09_-bCJkszUbudKeI7uusLh4/s1600-h/Partnerships+in+Property+Development.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ98uymCnBSjt5bkthOXO2z2bMnhZz-XXinW6B8SuavYyXsP9mB4BADcmQOzbUF7KofTmlfFlF4VsdBiwxPiKFewnidAQp7Gyv9gy1RpExMdXSxC_ukkx09_-bCJkszUbudKeI7uusLh4/s200/Partnerships+in+Property+Development.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419834523812908130" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="summary"><h2>Partnerships in Property Development Summary:</h2></div> <br />By <strong>Nigel Dubben, Brendan Williams</strong><br /><ul><li> <strong>Publisher:</strong> Wiley-Blackwell </li><li> <strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 272 </li><li> <strong>Publication Date:</strong> 2009-06-29 </li><li> <strong>ISBN-10 / ASIN:</strong> 1405111798 </li><li> <strong>ISBN-13 / EAN:</strong> 9781405111799 </li></ul> <strong>Product Description: </strong><br /><p>This book covers partnerships in the broadest sense, presenting a critical account of the whole range of partnerships in <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">property development</span>. </p> <p> The emphasis is on the relationship between developers and landowners, developers and funders, and the provision of public services through the use of <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">private finance</span>. </p> <p> The authors draw on their own professional experience of running property partnerships and, with carefully researched case studies, present the 'insider' view, making a potentially dry and complex subject accessible and lively. </p> <p> The book moves beyond a theoretical overview and, by illuminating the reality of property partnerships shows for example, exactly how the government is procuring schools, hospitals and roads. </p> <p> This clear and objective analysis sets property partnerships in their economic and political contexts and will be of topical interest to surveyors and developers - in both private practice and local authorities - as well as to funders.

Ten peer-reviewed papers cover: A thorough review of the chemistry involved in floor polishes and associated coatings. Coatingmaintenance and static coefficient of friction (COF) includes papers that clearly define COF and how it is measured correctly in accordance withASTM standards. There is also a general review of polish maintenance techniques and a critical paper encompassing the relationship between the static COF of newly applied floor polish and that same finish, which has been subjected to various industry standard maintenance techniques over time. Legal and regulatory issues discusses the legal aspects associated with a slip incidence, as well as the tools to prevent slip incidents. It also includes an actual case history, which provides a meticulous investigative outline for those involved in the discovery phase of a slip claim; and closes with a review of those regulatory issues that currently effect floor polishes. STP 1448 will help facilities better manage their floor care <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">program</span>, saving them time and money, while improving the overall appearance and safety. It has a broad base of appeal from the formulation chemist developing polishes to the facilities manager who is looking to better manage their floor careprogram. </p><br />Table of Contents Overview It's What's on the Inside that Counts - The Chemistry of Floor Polishes<br />Owens J.

Unfortunately for archaeologists, the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">architecture</span> being studied is not always visible and must be inferred from soil inconsistencies or charred remains. This study deals with research into roughly a millennium of Native Americanarchitecture in the Southeast and includes research on the variation of <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">construction techniques</span> employed both above and below ground. Most of the architecture discussed is that of domestic houses with some emphasis on large public buildings and sweat lodges. The authors use an array of methods and techniques in examining nativearchitecture including experimental archaeology, ethnohistory, ethnography, multi-variant analysis, structural engineering, and wood science technology. A major portion of the work, and probably the most important in terms of overall significance, is that it addresses the debate of early Mississippian houses and what they looked like above ground and the changes that occurred both before and after the arrival of Europeans. <div> <div>Contributors: <div>Dennis B.

La norme européenne est composée de trois parties : les règles générales, le <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">calcul des</span> structures au feu pour les bâtiments et le calcul des ponts et des passerelles. Chaque document est accompagné d'une Annexe nationale. Comprendre les changements par rapport aux Règles CB 71. L'application de l'eurocode 5 doit passer par une période de recouvrement avec les Règles CB 71 - qui a débuté mi 2007 pour une durée de 1 à 3 ans. Cette échéance proche souligne l'urgence de la formation des professionnels pour comprendre les fondements et les principes de la norme. Les conséquences opérationnelles du passage à l'eurocode 5 sont complexes et impliquent, pour les acteurs de la <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">filière bois</span>, l'appropriation approfondie de ces nouvelles règles pour appliquer correctement <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">les nouvelles</span> méthodes de calcul des structures en bois. L'objectif de la conception des structures est d'atteindre une faible probabilité de rupture de la matière. Appliquer les nouvelles méthodes de calcul. Le principe de justification d'une structure soumise à des charges repose sur deux critères : la vérification de la résistance (ELU) et la vérification de la déformation (ELS). Les états limites ultimes sont associés aux différentes formes de défaillance structurale, et visent à assurer la <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">sécurité des personnes</span> et des biens. Les états limites de service correspondent à des conditions de fonctionnement des ouvrages et de confort des usagers au-delà desquelles les exigences d'aptitude au service ne sont plus satisfaites. L'objectif est donc d'assurer le confort des personnes et de limiter les déformations du bâtiment. L'état limite de service n'est plus respecté lorsque les déformations maximales sont dépassées. Chapitre 1 - Aborder l'eurocode 5 présente les éléments des eurocodes 0 et 1 nécessaires à l'application des règles de l'eurocode 5, et précise les nouvelles valeurs des résistances du bois. Des graphiques aident à visualiser les principales différences entre une justification du critère sécurité des Règles CB 71 (charpentes bois) et des états limites ultimes de l'eurocode 5. Chapitre 2 - Vérifier les sections étudie l'ensemble des sollicitations de la plus simple à la plus complexe, c'est-à-dire de la traction à la flexion déviée avec compression et risque de flambage. Ces sollicitations sont exposées pour les poutres droites, mais également pour les poutres courbes et à inertie variable. Les différents critères d'instabilité -flambement et déversement - y sont largement décrits. Chapitre 3 -Vérifier les assemblages constitue le chapitre le plus détaillé de l'ouvrage. La méthode de justification des embrèvements et des tenons-mortaises est décrite dans le détail avant d'aborder les assemblages par tiges, tels que les pointes, agrafes, boulons, broches et tire-fond, avec les possibilités de renforts, crampons et anneaux. Ce chapitre explique clairement un changement important par rapport aux Règles CB 71 : le calcul des risques de rupture de bloc et de rupture par fendage. Chapitre 4 - Composant et assembleur propose la justification de sous-ensembles comme un mur à ossature bois de type plate-forme et une couronne de boulons. Chapitre 5 - Tableaux de synthèse constitue un dossier technique qui rassemble l'ensemble des données nécessaires à la justification à l'eurocode 5. Il est enrichi de nombreuses courbes facilitant le calcul des différents coefficients (hauteur, flambage, déversement, entaillage, etc.) pour prédimensionner les ouvrages. Tous les points définis dans cet ouvrage sont illustrés par de nombreuses applications résolues. Plus de 40 propositions d'exemples résolus et justifiés sont présentées pour faciliter l'acquisition de l'eurocode 5. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux techniciens, ingénieurs, projeteurs, vérificateurs, formateurs, enseignants et étudiants... chargés de la conception, du calcul, du dimensionnement et de la justification des structures de bâtiment comprenant du bois. </div> </div> Détails sur le produit <ul><li> <strong>Broché:</strong> 443 pages</li><li> <strong>Editeur :</strong> Eyrolles (21 février 2007)</li><li> <strong>Collection :</strong> Eurocode</li><li> <strong>Langue :</strong> Français</li><li> <strong>ISBN-10:</strong> 2212120427</li><li> <strong>ISBN-13:</strong> 978-2212120424</li></ul><br /> <br />http://rapidshare.com/files/287392239/2212120427_Calcul_des_structures_en_bois.pdfUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027103131535282544.post-72992022868060553952009-12-27T00:35:00.001-08:002009-12-27T03:13:03.835-08:00Architecture for the New Global Culture<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfaJDYbg5ykEyn0cQ6QhFCc-6BqBsocdCdfSmvFRoVUuMM_8LBpUo266NotkJHFBo83eE6XS7Z0VQdYXflw9NhnjimLAMlu9JGT4jIq26oG4kyo8nGLX5_J7fYY54jS8uFWANv4fPzYw4/s1600-h/Architecture+for+the+New+Global+Culture.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfaJDYbg5ykEyn0cQ6QhFCc-6BqBsocdCdfSmvFRoVUuMM_8LBpUo266NotkJHFBo83eE6XS7Z0VQdYXflw9NhnjimLAMlu9JGT4jIq26oG4kyo8nGLX5_J7fYY54jS8uFWANv4fPzYw4/s200/Architecture+for+the+New+Global+Culture.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419831901474858834" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="summary"><h2>The Stadium: Architecture for the New Global Culture Summary:</h2></div> <div><br /><div> Periplus Editions | ISBN: 0794603351 | 2005-07-15 | PDF | 208 pages | 360 Mb </div><br />Get into <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">the center</span> of the action with The <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">Stadium</span>, a book that takes you to some of the finest event centers across the globe.<br />Sports fans in the United States can revisit their own home fields such as the Reliant Stadium in Houston, SBC Park in San Francisco, Oriole Park in Baltimore, and experience international attractions such as the MillenniumStadium in Cardiff, Wembley in London, Arsenal in London, and the Olympic Stadium in Sydney.
