sectors including offices, retail and manufacturing. It explains the facilities manager’s role in incorporating sustainability into the whole life-cycle of a building – from initial briefing to final disposal. The book takes a structured approach: • masterplanning and real estate (acquisitions and disposals) • design • construction and commissioning • refurbishment, fit-out and project management …
This book – a companion to Peter Barnes’ book on the sub-contract for the JCT 2005 Standard Building Contract, The JCT 05 Standard Building Sub-Contract – covers the other eight current JCT sub-contracts: · the Design and Build Sub-Contract · the Major Project Sub-Contract · the Intermediate Sub-Contract · the Intermediate Sub-Contract with sub-contractor’s design · the Intermediate Named Sub-Cont…
Liquidated damages and extensions of time are complex subjects, frequently forming the basis of contract claims made under the standard building and civil engineering contracts. Previous editions of Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time are highly regarded as a guide for both construction industry professionals and lawyers to this complex area. The law on time and damages continues to develop …
Synthetic aperture radar provides broad-area imaging at high resolutions, which is used in applications such as environmental monitoring, earth-resource mapping, and military systems. This book presents the tools required for the digital processing of synthetic aperture radar images. They are of three types: (a) the elements of physics, (b) mathematical models and (c) image processing methods adap…

Секция 1 В работе приведены примеры процесса образования и развития областей пластических деформаций в однородном основании заглубленного гибкого ленточного фундамента при его нагружении в рамках модели смешанной задачи теории упругости и теории пластичности грунта. Приведено сопоставление полученных результатов с результатами, получаемыми тривиальным способом – при выполнении условия пластичност…
In recent years, there has been a growing debate, particularly in the UK and Europe, over the merits of using discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD); there are now instances where both methodologies were employed on the same problem. This book details each method, comparing each in terms of both theory and their application to various problem situations. It also provides a seamle…
Последние достижения в науке привели к созданию новых материалов с уникальными свойствами, главным образом вследствие целенаправленных изменений структуры на атомном уровне. Для описания состояния и формы материи на этом уровне требуются разнообразные математические понятия. Эта книга дает представление о геометрических идеях, которые развиваются и внедряются в науку о материалах с целью обеспечен…

From the Foreword by Rob Smith, Director of Estates and Facilities (NHS England), Department of Health ‘The built environment for the delivery of Healthcare will continue to change as it responds to new technologies and modalities of care, different expectations and requirements of providers and consumers of care. It is vital that built environment students and practitioners alike avail themselves…
Industrial energy systems channel fuels and power into a variety of energy types such as steam, direct heat, hot fluids and gases, and shaft power for compressors, fans, pumps, and other machine-driven equipment. All of these processes impact the environment and are impacted by external energy and environmental policies and regulations. Therefore many environmental management issues are closely re…

Today’s scientific and engineering community has a good grasp on how to model fluid flows at macro and molecular scales, with well-developed theory and supporting technologies. Between these two extremes lies the nano/meso scale (i.e. in the range of 50nm-500nm) where fluid flow models continue to be problematic. Continuum models used at macro scales assume a negligible influence from molecular in…
