Design and Construction of Tunnels














By Pietro Lunardi
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 576
Publication Date: 2008-04-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540738746
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540738749

Book Description:
This work illustrates how the Analysis of Controlled Deformation
in Rocks and Soils (ADECO-RS) is used in the design and the
construction of tunnels.
The ADECO-RS approach makes a clear distinction between the design
and the construction stages and allows reliable forecasts of
construction times and costs to be made. It uses the advance core
(the core of ground ahead of the face) as a structural tool for
the long and short term stabilisation of tunnels, after its
rigidity has first been regulated using conservation techniques.
Tunnels can consequently be driven in difficult stress-strain
conditions to predetermined safety standards with operations
industrialised and scheduled precisely.

Planning the Good Community














By Jill Grant
Publisher: Routledge
Number Of Pages: 269
Publication Date: 2006-01-24
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415700752
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415700757

Book Description:
People either love new urbanism or hate it. Some find
compact new neighborhoods of brownstone row houses,
elegant Victorian mansions, or country cottages delightful:
places that celebrate the city and its history, and offer
hope for a sustainable future. Others see these 'urban
villages' as up-graded suburbs mired in the aesthetics of
another time and place: cloyingly nostalgic anachronisms
for affluent elites. This book examines new urban approaches
both in theory and practice. Taking a critical look at how
new urbanism lives up to its theory in its practice, it asks
whether new urban approaches offer a viable path to the good
community.
With examples drawn principally from the United States, Canada,
Britain, Germany, Belgium, Norway, and Japan, this book explores
new urban approaches in a wide range of settings. It considers
the relationship between the movement for urban villages and an
urban renaissance that has spread in the UK and Europe with the
'New Urbanism' movement in the United States and Canada and asks
whether the concerns that drive contemporary planning theory -
issues like power, democracy, spatial patterns, and globalization
- receive adequate attention in new urban approaches. Does new
urbanism offer a persuasive normative theory of urban development
that will shape planning practice for years to come, or a design
paradigm that cannot transcend its cultural origins in a particular
time and place?
The work of new urbanists has resulted in beautiful urban districts
that reveal the potential of planning to create more attractive
and meaningful urban landscapes. New urbanists have developed and
propagated a formula for planning the good community, and have
gained international attention in the process. Beauty is arguably
a necessary condition for the good community, but is it sufficient?

Building Ecology - First Principles For A Sustainable Built Environment














Paperback: 304 pages
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell (December 20, 2002)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0632064137
ISBN-13: 978-0632064137

Book Description
Buildings consume 40% of our planet’s materials and 30% of its
energy. Their construction uses up to three million tonnes of
raw materials a year and generates 20% of the soild waste stream.
If we want to survive our urban future, there is no option but to
build in ways which improve the health of ecosystems.
Understanding the concept of ecological sustainability and
translating it into practice as sustainable development is a key
challenge for today’s built environment professionals. The skill
and vision of those who shape our cities and homes is vital to
achieving sustainable solutions to the many environmental, economic
and social problems we face on a local, national and global scale.
Peter Graham offers here a holistic view of ecologically sustainable
building by drawing on established areas of knowledge, demonstrating
their relevance to the environmentally-conscious building
professional and putting the process, product and impact of building
into context.
Case studies illustrate how sustainable principles have been applied
successfully and discussion topics are offered to stimulate thought.
Building Ecology will help planners, surveyors, designers and
builders to incorporate sustainability into their everyday practice
by:
· showing which styles of building are ecologically sustainable
· providing fundamental knowledge for making decisions using the
principles of ecologically sustainable building
· explaining a complex subject in a clear, balanced way.
Building Ecology sets out the current scientific view of how nature
works and how buildings link with and affect nature. It provides
fundamental knowledge for building in harmony with nature and keeping
Earth’s life-supporting ecosystems healthy.

Computing in Architectural Practice














By C. Woodward
Publisher: Spon Press
Number Of Pages: 192
Publication Date: 1998-04-21
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0419213104
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780419213109
Binding: Paperback

Book Description:
Personal computers have proven useful in architectural practice
for almost two decades, at first for helping in secretarial and
clerical tasks, and then in replacing the apparatus of manual
drawing by computer-aided draughting (CAD). However, most
smaller architectural firms still utilize only the
word-processing functions of their computers. This book provides
a concise introducing for small and medium sized architectural
practices considering introducing computers or using them to
enhance the way in which information is originated by and
communicated between members of the building team. This book
covers the three main areas of architectural practice in which
computers have been most useful: office management, scheme and
production drawing, and project management. Necessary technical
terms are clearly explained, and key ideas illustrated with
figures and diagrams.

Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change (Repost)














By Sue Roaf, David Crichton, Fergus Nicol,
Publisher: Architectural Press
Number Of Pages: 384
Publication Date: 2004-12-30
ISBN / ASIN: 0750659114
EAN: 9780750659116
Binding: Paperback
Manufacturer: Architectural Press
Studio: Architectural Press

Book Description:
From the author of the bestseller 'Ecohouse' this challenging and
exciting text gives you an insight into the real changes that are
necessary to give our modern day built environment both
'sustainability' and 'survivability'.
The book is based on the premise that climate change is going to
happen and its impacts on our lives are going to be far worse than
generally expected. Sue Roaf argues that many modern buildings are
not only 'unsustainable' in themselves but are also having a
catastrophic effect on the global climate. In a unique argument,
she illustrates that the only way we can hope to survive the
following century in tact is if we not only begin to radically
reduce CO2 emissions from our buildings and stop building
climatically disastrous building types but also build only the
buildings that can survive in the changed climates of the future.
Throughout the book, traditional and modern building types are used
to: explain the history and impacts of climates past, present and
future on buildings; set the scene in terms of the history of
building development of where we are now and where we are going in
terms of sustainability and survivability of buildings; develop two
main scenarios of future building development with the 'business as
usual' model and the 'survival plan' model, and to make a list of
recommendations based on the two scenarios of what actions should
be taken by architects, planners and engineers as well as local and
national governments, businesses and ordinary people in ensuring
the true sustainable nature of the built environment.
· A unique text that reassesses the fundamentals of sustainable
design
· A discussion and design guide providing you with the full picture
of true sustainability
· Includes case studies
