Book Description
The design of structural steel members has developed over
the past century from a simple approach involving a few basic
properties of steel and elementary mathematics to a more
sophisticated treatment demanding a thorough knowledge of
structural and material behavior. Steel Structures:Design
and Behavior, 5/e strives to present in a logical manner the
theoretical background needed for developing and explaining
design requirements. Beginning with coverage of background
material, including references to pertinent research, the
development of specific formulas used in the AISC
Specifications is followed by a generous number of design
examples explaining in detail the process of selecting minimum
weight members to satisfy given conditions.

Book Description:
This complete guide to the evaluation, selection, and use of
sustainable materials in the landscape features strategies to
minimize environmental and human health impacts of conventional
site construction materials as well as green materials.
Providing detailed current information on construction materials
for sustainable sites, the book introduces tools, techniques,
ideologies and resources for evaluating, sourcing, and specifying
sustainable site materials. Chapters cover types of materials,
both conventional and emerging green materials, environmental
and human health impacts of the material, and detailed strategies
to minimize these impacts. Case studies share cost and performance
information and lessons learned.

Book Description:
Defective construction work, whether the result of inadequate
design, faulty workmanship or poor materials – or some
combination of these failings – is a frequent cause of legal
disputes. Someone is usually to blame, either the builder or
one or more of the professional consultants, or even the entire
project team. It is important therefore that the project team
should possess a good working knowledge of their responsibilities
and liabilities.
Written by a solicitor with over twenty years of experience of
building disputes, this book examines the responsibilities and
liabilities of the project team when defects occur. It sets out
the background role of the common law and statute and includes
detailed discussion of important case law affecting the
construction process from inception through to completion,
together with a consideration of the impact of letters of
intent, ‘no contract’ situations, and specific provisions of
model conditions of contract.

Book Description:
Polymodeling is a modeling technique used in 3d modeling. Unlike box modeling, or other forms of modeling where you start out with a basic form or primitive object that determines the mass of an object, artists can use the polygon (the basic building block of all of the primitives available in 3ds Max). This approach allows for more control over the flow, placement and detail of the meshes that are built. Placement of vertices/points, edges and all other sub-elements that build our models is determined by the user, rather than pre-determined by a computer generated primitive.
This book is a collection of tips, tricks and techniques on how to create professional models for advertising on T.V and the web. The author has tons of industry experience using Max toward this end, and he shares the secrets of his trade. As Production Modeler for some of today's hottest studios (including GuerillaFx, Coke Zero, MTV, Old Navy, Nike, Target, HP) Todd Daniele brings real-world experience to the book. Daniele teaches the technical aspects of polymodeling, while showing how to ultimately create content in a dynamic, efficient manner.
Associated web site offers instructional files that show the models in progressive stages of development; plus a supporting internet forum: readers can log-on to this forum to ask questions or comment on anything covered in the book.

Book Description:
Certified by Autodesk, Darren Brooker's new edition teaches the production techniques behind real-world work. The tutorials take you from the fundamentals of lighting, right through to advanced techniques.
* Everything you need to learn the art of CG lighting in one easy-to-use volume
* Free trial software and detailed tutorials take you through every step of the CG lighting process
* Learn the art and science of lighting CG environments the Autodesk-certified way
In order to explore what we call the city adrift, certain positions of scholars of the city are analysed, using the utopia as an analytical category and referring to three kinds the conservative utopia, liquidatory utopia and resistant utopia which can perhaps significantly distinguish the different positions on current spatial trends of the city and, more generally, the phenomena emerging in the urban world.
This book investigates how the city can be re-established as the space of dialogue and communication, how the spatial conditions of the public sphere can be created and the city retrieved, and what the features might be of a city retrieved and restored to its citizens.
The author adopts the concept of externity as an innovative element for the project for the city, a constituent feature of all those situations traditionally considered non-functional, therefore external, to our contemporary post-cities, which are consigned to us adrift through decomposition, genericity and segregation.
