Description Internal-combustion engine, any of a group of devices in which the reactants of combustion (oxidizer and fuel) and the products of combustion serve as the working fluids of the engine. Such an engine gains its energy from heat released during the combustion of the nonreacted working fluids, the oxidizer-fuel mixture.

Description Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a novel approach to design, construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the building product and process is used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information in digital format. BIM is beginning to change the way buildings look, the way they function, and the ways
Description Blast Mitigation: Experimental and Numerical Studies covers both experimental and numerical aspects of material and structural response to dynamic blast loads and its mitigation. The authors present the most up-to-date understanding from laboratory studies and computational analysis for researchers working in the field of blast loadings and their effect on material and structural failure,
Description Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially “prestressed” (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service.[1][2]: 3–5 [3] This compression is produced by the tensioning of high-strength “tendons” located within or adjacent to the concrete and is done to improve

Description This book discusses the way to design and plan for regenerative cities and landscapes. Where sustainability aims to safeguard the resources for future generations, and the resilience concept focuses on dealing with shocks to keep the system functioning, regeneration aims to give back more than it takes from the system. This principle is often

Description Provides results of a small, but representative, questionnaire survey of typical project managers, architects and building contractors concerning their views and experiences on a range of ethical issues surrounding construction industry activities. Most (90 per cent) subscribed to a professional code of ethics and many (45 per cent) had an ethical code of conduct

Description Concrete has excellent sustainability qualities, and the industry has made significant progress in reducing its CO2 emissions from cement manufacture. The cement industry has reduced its carbon emissions by 19% since 1990 (GCCA in Numbers, 2020). Sustainability is important to the well-being of our planet, continued growth of a society, and human development. Concrete

Description The book series Design of timber structure Volume 1-3 fills a long-standing gap within the Swedish field of timber engineering. The books are mainly produced for active structural engineers and for students at technical universities and institutes of higher education in Sweden. Researchers, architects, students of lower technical education and people with a general
