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
