Download or read book Highway Noise a Design Guide for Highway Engineers written by Bolt, Beranek, and Newman and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various methods of assessing noise, loudness, and noise annoyance are reviewed and explained; sources, types, and intensities of traffic noise are noted; typical means of abatement and attenuation are described; design criteria for various land uses ranging from low-density to industrial are suggested and compared with the results of previous BBN and British systems for predicting annoyance and complaint; and a design guide for predicting traffic noise, capable of being programmed for batch and on-line computer applications, is presented in form suitable for use as a working tool. A flow diagram describes the interrelationships of elements in the traffic noise prediction methodology, and each element is discussed in detail in the text. The text is presented of a tape recording that takes the listener through a series of traffic situations, with such variables as traffic distance, flow velocity, distance, outdoors and indoors, and presence or absence of absorbers and attenuators.

Download or read book Tall Buildings written by A. Coull and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tall Buildings provides information and research on tall buildings. This book presents the advances in structural analysis, in methods of design, in methods of construction, and in the properties of materials. Organized into three sections encompassing 27 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the important features of the interaction of a tall building with the wind. This text then examines the reasons for requiring a more rational and refined approach to the wind loading of tall buildings. Other chapters consider the different solutions to the layout of plans for offices and flats using shear walls. This book discusses as well the comparisons made in respect of construction, design, and economy. The final chapter deals with the increase in the number of tall buildings, for both residential and commercial purposes, under construction throughout the world. This book is a valuable resource for civil, structural, consulting, and research engineers.
Download or read book Marine Design XIII Volume 2 written by Pentti Kujala and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is volume 2 of a 2-volume set. Marine Design XIII collects the contributions to the 13th International Marine Design Conference (IMDC 2018, Espoo, Finland, 10-14 June 2018). The aim of this IMDC series of conferences is to promote all aspects of marine design as an engineering discipline. The focus is on key design challenges and opportunities in the area of current maritime technologies and markets, with special emphasis on: • Challenges in merging ship design and marine applications of experience-based industrial design • Digitalisation as technological enabler for stronger link between efficient design, operations and maintenance in future • Emerging technologies and their impact on future designs • Cruise ship and icebreaker designs including fleet compositions to meet new market demands To reflect on the conference focus, Marine Design XIII covers the following research topic series: •State of art ship design principles - education, design methodology, structural design, hydrodynamic design; •Cutting edge ship designs and operations - ship concept design, risk and safety, arctic design, autonomous ships; •Energy efficiency and propulsions - energy efficiency, hull form design, propulsion equipment design; •Wider marine designs and practices - navy ships, offshore and wind farms and production. Marine Design XIII contains 2 state-of-the-art reports on design methodologies and cruise ships design, and 4 keynote papers on new directions for vessel design practices and tools, digital maritime traffic, naval ship designs, and new tanker design for arctic. Marine Design XIII will be of interest to academics and professionals in maritime technologies and marine design.

Download or read book A Student s Introduction to Engineering Design written by Harold A. Simon and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Student's Introduction to Engineering Design is a book purposed to present the fundamentals in engineering design in a form easily understood by first time students so that they can be familiarized early in their curriculum. The text is divided into two books. Book I describes the discipline of the engineering design, and includes design; modeling; decision theory; communication; and detailed design. Book II, on the other hand, is background material and is more suited to be read early on in the course, as it explores the human element of engineering and the engineer's role towards society. The book is recommended for beginning engineering students, especially for those who wish to acquire a broad perspective and an open mind in their approach to their profession of engineering, learn about design, and make them actively participate in design problems requiring formulation, analysis, evaluation, and decision making.
