Following from the success of the first edition, written by a collection of eminent figures in the field, this new edition continues to look at the rational planning for port facilities requirements (berths, storage and cargo handling equipment), organizations, management and operations with relation to planning and design of ports and marine terminals.
Taking into account the rapid decrease in throughput due to containerization and the subsequent conversion of cargo berths for other uses, such as multi-purpose and container terminals, this book looks at data regarding natural conditions for site selection, choice of location and orientation of major port components - such as access channels, basins quays and specialized berths.
This new edition also looks in detail at breakwater design and the use of model tests, channel design and proposed methods for determining sedimentation rates in channels, and ways to optimize channel depth. This book will be an invaluable resource for practicing engineers and planners, port administrators and operators, as well as graduate engineers specializing in the field.
Contents include: A hybrid approach - including a simulation program on determining container terminal facilities; A detailed analysis of the important shipping categories of world fleets, which have been specifically acquired from Lloyds Register; High-speed ferry terminals; Dredging and disposal of contaminated sediment; Marpol; and Environmental consideration.

Ventilation and Airflow in Buildings: Methods for Diagnosis and Evaluation
Ventilation and Airflow in Buildings:
Methods for Diagnosis and Evaluation
2008 | 128 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Energy efficiency in buildings requires, among other things, that ventilation be appropriately dimensioned: too much ventilation wastes energy, and insufficient ventilation leads to poor indoor air quality and low comfort. Studies have shown that ventilation systems seldom function according to their commissioned design. They have also shown that airflow measurement results are essential in improving a ventilation system.
This key handbook explains why ventilation in buildings should be measured and describes how to measure it, giving applied examples for each measurement method. The book will help building physicists and ventilation engineers to properly commission ventilation systems and appropriately diagnose ventilation problems throughout the life of a building. Drawing on over 20 years of experience and the results of recent international research projects, this is the definitive guide to diagnosing air flow patterns within buildings.

Engineering Manual of Automatic Control for Commercial Buildings
Engineering Manual of Automatic Control for Commercial Buildings
Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning
PDF | 512 pages | 3.9 MB
The purpose of this manual is to provide the reader with a fundamental understanding of controls and how they are applied to the many parts of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems in commercial buildings.
Many aspects of control are presented including air handling units, terminal units, chillers, boilers, building airflow, water and steam distribution systems, smoke management, and indoor air quality. Control fundamentals, theory, and types of controls provide background for application of controls to heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. Discussions of pneumatic, electric, electronic, and digital controls illustrate that applications may use one or more of several different control methods. Engineering data such as equipment sizing, use of psychrometric charts, and conversion formulas supplement and support the control information. To enhance understanding, definitions of terms are provided within individual sections.
Building management systems have evolved into a major consideration for the control engineer when evaluating a total heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system design. In response to this consideration, the basics of building management systems configuration are presented.
The control recommendations in this manual are general in nature and are not the basis for any specific job or installation. Control systems are furnished according to the plans and specifications prepared by the control engineer. In many instances there is more than one control solution. Professional expertise and judgment are required for the design of a control system. This manual is not a substitute for such expertise and judgment.
Always consult a licensed engineer for advice on designing control systems.
It is hoped that the scope of information in this manual will provide the readers with the tools to expand their knowledge base and help develop sound approaches to automatic control.

Writing Testbenches: Functional Verification of HDL Models first introduces the necessary concepts and tools of verification, then describes a process for carrying out an effective functional verification of a design.
This book also presents techniques for applying a stimulus and monitoring the response of a design by abstracting the operations using bus-functional models.
The architecture of testbenches built around these bus-functional models is important for minimizing development and maintenance effort. Behavioral modeling is another important concept presented in this book.
It is used to parallelize the implementation and verification of a design and to perform more efficient simulations. For many, behavioral modeling is synonymous with synthesizeable or RTL modeling.
In this book, the term `behavioural' is used to describe any model that adequately emulates the functionality of a design, usually using non-synthesizeable constructs and coding style.

Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design
Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design
584 pages | PDF | 29,5 MB
Developments in Earthquake Engineering have focussed on the capacity and response of structures. They often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing of design. It is not enough only to understand the anatomy of the structure, you must also appreciate the nature of the likely earthquake.
Seismic design, as detailed in this book, is the bringing together of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design – analyzing various types of earthquake and how they affect structures differently. Understanding the distinction between these earthquake types and their different impacts on buildings can make the difference between whether a building stands or falls, or at least to how much it costs to repair.
Covering the basis and basics of the major international codes, this is the essential guide for professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the world.
