John Wiley and Sons Ltd Composite Structures of Steel and Concrete
Book SynopsisThis book provides an introduction to the theory and design of composite structures of steel and concrete. Material applicable to both buildings and bridges is included, with more detailed information relating to structures for buildings. Throughout, the design methods are illustrated by calculations in accordance with the Eurocode for composite structures, EN 1994, Part 1-1, General rules and rules for buildings' and Part 1-2, Structural fire design', and their cross-references to ENs 1990 to 1993. The methods are stated and explained, so that no reference to Eurocodes is needed. The use of Eurocodes has been required in the UK since 2010 for building and bridge structures that are publicly funded. Their first major revision began in 2015, with the new versions due in the early 2020s. Both authors are involved in the work on Eurocode 4. They explain the expected additions and changes, and their effect in the worked examples for a multi-storey framed structure for a building,Table of ContentsPreface xi Symbols, Terminology and Units

Book SynopsisAssessing the Microbiological A timely exploration of the coordinated functions of microbiological communities and the impacts of global climate change on microbial life Ecosystems function like interlocking puzzles and ultimately the health of an ecosystem depends upon the niche activities of its microbial communities. Assessing the Microbiological Health of Ecosystems summarizes our understanding of how microbial community processes are organized and the mechanisms by which activities of their constituent species are coordinated. The authors collectively present a basis for understanding what produces healthy microbial components of an ecosystem, thereby supplying a foundation for achieving one of the eventual future goals of environmental microbiology: to diagnose and correct the integrative nature of microbial activities when ecosystems fail. Assessing the Microbiological Health of Ecosystems will prove to be a valuable resource to environmental microbiologists, ecologists and intTable of ContentsList of Contributors ix Preface xi 1 Ecosystems Function Like Interlocking Puzzles: Visually Interpreting the Concept of Niche Space Plus a Brief Tour Through Genetic Hyperspace 1 Christon J.

Book SynopsisPlasma methods that effectively combine ultraviolet radiation, active chemicals, and high electric fields offer an alternative to conventional water treatment methods. However, knowledge of the electric breakdown of liquids has not kept pace with this increasing interest, mostly due to the complexity of phenomena related to the plasma breakdown process. Plasma Discharge in Liquid: Water Treatment and Applications provides engineers and scientists with a fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical phenomena associated with plasma discharges in liquids, particularly in water. It also examines state-of-the-art plasma-assisted water treatment technologies.The Physics & Applications of Underwater Plasma DischargesThe first part of the book describes the physical mechanism of pulsed electric breakdown in water and other liquids. It looks at how plasma is generated in liquids and discusses the electronic and bubble mechanism theories for how the electric discharge in liquid is initiated. The second part of the book focuses on various water treatment applications, including: Decontamination of volatile organic compounds and remediation of contaminated water Microorganism sterilization and other biological applications Cooling water treatment Drawing extensively on recent research, this one-stop reference combines the physics and applications of electric breakdown in liquids in a single volume. It offers a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and students interested in the topic of plasmas in liquids.Trade Review"The approach and selection of topics are relevant to the technology for effective water treatment. The book can be useful to the researchers and students in this field, and can provide practical solutions for water treatment technology. In addition this book may aid knowledge in usage of plasma technology in other liquid domain."—Rupak K.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Designing Tall Buildings
Book SynopsisThis second edition of Designing Tall Buildings, an accessible reference to guide you through the fundamental principles of designing high-rises, features two new chapters, additional sections, 400 images, project examples, and updated US and international codes. Each chapter focuses on a theme central to tall-building design, giving a comprehensive overview of the related architecture and structural engineering concepts. Author Mark Sarkisian, PE, SE, LEED AP BD+C, provides clear definitions of technical terms and introduces important equations, gradually developing your knowledge. Projects drawn from SOM's vast portfolio of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian engineered, demonstrate these concepts.This book advises you to consider the influence of a particular site''s geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. Using this contextual knowledge and analysis, you can determine what types of structural solutions are best suited for a tower onTrade Review"Designing Tall Buildings is the best book on structures and architecture available. It appeals to both architects and engineers, capturing the "why" and the "how" of tall building construction. It explains the history of tall buildings and details the structural rationale behind the art. Mark Sarkisian is a brilliant and engaging instructor, bringing structural theory to life. This book is a must-read for all designers." - Mary Comerio, Professor of the Graduate School, UC Berkeley, USA"Designing Tall Buildings is a seminal reference guide that clearly illustrates the inseparability of architecture, structural design, and local context in the realization of tall buildings around the world. As one of SOM’s foremost structural engineering partners and a global thought leader on skyscraper design, Mark Sarkisian is the perfect author to give this message." – Antony Wood, Executive Director, Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, USA"Designing Tall Buildings: Structure as Architecture clearly discusses the roles that structural design and nature play in tall buildings. Mark Sarkisian communicates an intuitive understanding of the interrelationships between forces at play. Clear and well written, with definitions at the end of each chapter, this book serves as an excellent learning tool." - Jon Daniel Davey, AIA, Professor of Architecture, Southern Illinois University, USA"Sarkisian’s Designing Tall Buildings provides a masterful discussion of the synergy of architecture and structural engineering in landmark building designs by SOM. This book has inspired both students and faculty in design studio courses at Stanford University that aspire to combine technical rigor and creative thinking in architecture and engineering through the art of tall building design."- Greg Deierlein, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford University, USATable of Contents1.

CRC Press Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocodes
Book SynopsisThis established and popular textbook has now been extensively rewritten and expanded in line with the current Eurocodes. It presents the principles of the design of concrete elements and also the design of complete structures, and provides practical illustrations of the theory. It explains the background to the Eurocode rules and goes beyond the core topics to cover the design of foundations, retaining walls, water retaining structures.Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocodes includes more than sixty worked out design examples and over six hundred diagrams, plans and charts. The chapters are fully revised to the Eurocodes and the most commonly encountered design problems in structural concrete are covered.It is written for students on civil engineering degree courses and undergraduate level and higher levels, and is also a useful reference for practising engineers. Trade Review"The fourth edition of Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocodes is a radical rewrite of a student classic; this edition has been brought up to date by its strong link to the Eurocodes and the design processes within them. The Eurocodes are strongly based on conceptual modes and this book provides an excellent way of understanding the background and derivation, allowing a researcher to be able to see exactly how a new research topic may fit into practice. As a student text, this work is systematic and thorough, and is likely to provide a relevant and useful source of reference during the development of a design-based career. …Dr Bhatt has done great service in bringing this classic – from its first edition in 1978, now to the fourth revision – completely up to date."—Magazine of Concrete Research"The main strengths of this publication are the illustration of key concepts and approaches with numerous worked examples. … The contents deal with the fundamental material required for students of structural design. Additionally, more in-depth coverage of structure-specific design is presented which will be of benefit to practicing engineers. … This book presents the fundamentals of reinforced concrete behavior and design to the Eurocodes in a clear and concise manner. All the key concepts and design procedures are well illustrated with worked examples and as such the content will be invaluable to students of structural design. The in-depth coverage of specific applications such as water retaining structures, make this book a useful reference for practicing engineers. …" ––Dr Lee Cunningham, Lecturer, University of Manchester School of Mechanical, Aerospace & Civil Engineering, University of Manchester, UK"I do not know of an equivalent textbook that has the scope of this one. …The list of topics is very comprehensive. …This would be a very good book to recommend for a course in the structural design of concrete. …This book is a one stop shop for the structural design of concrete structures - the book for structural concrete designers to have 'at their elbow' and students to have to when learning about the design of concrete structure. I know of no other book that covers such a range of topics including: water retaining structures, comprehensive treatment of the Strut-tie method with a link to finite element output. Proper background to design of statically indeterminate structures with a proper treatment of joint rotation capacity, comprehensive treatment of: yieldline method, Hillerborg's strip method, design using elastic stress fields, etc and the design of whole structure as opposed to individual elements only. …The explanations of the theory are clearly expressed and there are lots of good examples. Of special importance are the examples that cover complete systems and components rather than just single topics." ––Iain MacLeod, Emeritus Professor, University of Strathclyde, UKTable of Contents1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG An Inquiry-Based Introduction to Engineering
Book SynopsisThe text introduces engineering to first-year undergraduate students using Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL). It draws on several different inquiry-based instruction types such as confirmation inquiry, structured inquiry, guided inquiry, and open inquiry, and all of their common elements. Professor Blum’s approach emphasizes the student’s role in the learning process, empowering them in the classroom to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas, instead of the instructor lecturing to passive learners about what they need to know. Beginning with a preface to IBL, the book is organized into three parts, each consisting of four to ten chapters. Each chapter has a dedicated topic where an initial few paragraphs of introductory or fundamental material are provided. This is followed by a series of focused questions that guide the students’ learning about the concept(s) being taught. Featuring multiple inquiry-based strategies, each most appropriate to the topic, An Inquiry-Based Approach to Introduction to Engineering stands as an easy to use textbook that quickly allows students to actively engage with the content during every class period.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Angewandte Baudynamik: Grundlagen und
Book SynopsisObwohl Schwingungsprobleme in der Praxis zunehmend auftreten, werden sie von Tragwerkplanern gern umgangen. Statische Ersatzlasten, Stoßfaktoren oder Schwingbeiwerte werden angewendet, ohne sich der Anwendungsgrenzen bewusst zu sein. Dieses Buch weckt das Grundverständnis für die den Theorien zugrunde liegenden Modellvorstellungen und die Begrifflichkeiten der Dynamik. Die wichtigsten Kenngrößen werden beschrieben und mit Beispielen verdeutlicht. Darauf baut der anwendungsbezogene Teil mit den Problemen der Baudynamik – Stoßvorgänge, freie und erzwungene Schwingungen, Amplitudenreduktion durch Schwingungsdämpfer, menscheninduzierte Schwingungen, Einführung in die Baugrunddynamik und Maßnahmen des Erschütterungsschutzes – anhand von Beispielen auf. Mit diesem Rüstzeug kann sich der Nutzer in spezielle Fälle wie Glockentürme, dynamische Windlasten oder erdbebensicheres Bauen einarbeiten. Dem Bedarf der Praxis folgend wurde die 2. Auflage korrigiert, erweitert und um folgende Abschnitte ergänzt: - Eigenfrequenzen von Pfahlgründungen, - Diskretisierung homogener Systeme infolge „stehender Wellen“, - Ermüdung bei schwingungsanfälligen Stahlbrücken, - konstruktiver Explosionsschutz, - dynamische Kräfte bei Kurbeltrieb, - Abschirmung von Bodenwellen durch vertikale Schlitzkonstruktionen.Table of ContentsVorwort

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Handbook of Tunnel Engineering II: Basics and
Book SynopsisTunnel engineering is one of the oldest, most interesting but also challenging engineering disciplines and demands not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience in geology, geomechanics, structural design, concrete construction, machine technology, construction process technology and construction management. The two-volume "Handbuch des Tunnel- und Stollenbaus" has been the standard reference work for German-speaking tunnellers in theory and practice for 30 years.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Bentonithandbuch: Ringspaltschmierung für den Rohrvortrieb
Book SynopsisDer Rohrvortrieb ist ein Bauverfahren zur grabenloser Verlegung von Leitungen. Ein erfolgreicher Vortrieb erfordert eine geringe Mantelreibung zwischen Baugrund und Vortriebsrohr. Dies wird über eine Bentonitschmierung erreicht. Das im Ringspalt eingebrachte Bentonit erfüllt hierbei mehrere Aufgaben. Zunächst stabilisiert es den Ringspalt durch Stützung des Untergrunds und soll damit den direkten Kontakt Untergrund zu Vortriebsrohr vermeiden. Zusätzlich verringert es als Schmiermittel die Reibung zwischen Untergrund und Rohrstrang. Dieses Handbuch behandelt nahezu alle Aspekte der Ringraumschmierung. Angefangen von den für die Schmierung maßgeblichen Untergrundbedingungen, über die Eigenschaften des Bentonits bis hin zu den technischen Aspekten. Dabei sind zu nennen die Handhabung des Messequipments, der richtige Einsatz der Mischausrüstung und der Quelltanks, Details über den Einsatz des automatischen Bentonitschmiersystems sowie Berechnungen und Vorschlagswerte über Bentonitverbrauchsmengen in Abhängigkeit von Untergrund und Vortriebsmaschinengröße.Table of ContentsListe der verwendeten Symbole XV I.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Bauphysik-Kalender 2023: Schwerpunkt:
Book SynopsisDie aktuelle Ausgabe des Bauphysik-Kalenders behandelt das gesamte Themenspektrum rund um Nachhaltigkeit bei der Errichtung von Gebäuden. Die Bauindustrie ist der Sektor, der in der Wirtschaft für die höchsten Umweltbelastungen verantwortlich ist. Integrierte Maßnahmen für mehr Klimaschutz und Ressourceneffizienz im Bausektor sind daher ein zentrales Thema der Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitspolitik. Die Regulierung zur Energieeinsparung hat bereits dazu geführt, dass der Primärenergiebedarf in der Nutzungsphase von Gebäuden immer weiter reduziert wurde. Es ist nun unabdingbar, die Bewertung von Gebäuden auf die Umweltwirkung und die Auswirkung auf das Klima auszuweiten. In diesem Buch werden die Lebenszyklusanalyse, die Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierung sowie die kreislaufgerechte Verwendung von Bauelementen, Baustoffen und Anlagenteilen umfassend erläutert. Konkretes Hintergrundwissen für klimagerechtes Bauen, für die Ermittlung der Ressourceneffizienz, das Recycling von Dämmstoffen, die Ökobilanzierung und die Zertifizierung werden anhand von Praxisbeispielen aufgezeigt, um Planenden das nötige Rüstzeug für die aktuellen Aufgaben an die Hand zu geben. Auch die Betrachtung von Klima-Fußabdruck und Ressourcen-Fußabdruck mithilfe eines digitalen Gebäudemodells bereits in der Planungsphase ist enthalten. Der Bauphysik-Kalender 2023 bietet eine solide Arbeitsgrundlage und ein verlässliches aktuelles Nachschlagewerk für die Planung in Neubau und Bestand, alle Kapitel bewegen sich nahe an der Ingenieurpraxis. Das Buch enthält Planungshinweise, Konzepte und Praxisbeispiele für nachhaltiges Bauen.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Recommendations of the Committee for Waterfront
Book SynopsisThe recommendations have been completely restructured in this 12th (2020) edition of the EAU (10th English edition), the aim being to provide readers with a better, clearer arrangement of the chapters. In addition, the information published in the annual technical reports of the Waterfront Structures Committee since the publication of the 11th German edition have been incorporated in this new edition. The recommendations also take into account the new generation of standards consisting of Eurocode 7, the associated National Application Documents and supplementary national publications (DIN 1054:2010). In isolated instances, partial safety factors differing from those in the codes are specified on the basis of practical experience. Safety standards for ports, harbours and marine structures are therefore upheld. The recommendations satisfy the need for international acceptance in the planning, design, tendering, award of contract, construction, site supervision, acceptance and settlement of accounts for port, harbour and waterway facilities based on uniform approaches.Table of ContentsPreface xv 1 Safety and verification concept 1 1.1 Principles of the safety and verification concept for waterfront structures 1 1.1.1 General 1 1.1.2 Normative regulations for waterfront structures 1 1.1.3 Geotechnical categories 3 1.1.4 Design situations 3 1.2 Verification for waterfront structures 4 1.2.1 Principles for verification 4 1.2.2 Design approaches 4 1.2.3 Analysis of the serviceability limit state 5 1.2.4 Analysis of the ultimate limit state 6 References 10 2 Ship dimensions 11 2.1 Sea-going ships 11 2.1.1 Passenger ships and cruise liners 12 2.1.2 Bulk carriers 12 2.1.3 General cargo ships 12 2.1.4 Container ships 13 2.1.5 Ferries 13 2.1.6 RoRo/ConRo vessels 13 2.1.7 Oil tankers 14 2.1.8 Gas tankers 15 2.2 Inland waterway vessels 15 2.3 Offshore installation vessels 19 3 Geotechnical principles 21 3.1 Geotechnical report 21 3.2 Subsoil 21 3.2.1 Mean characteristic values of soil parameters 21 3.2.2 Layout and depths of boreholes and penetrometer tests 27 3.2.3 Determining the shear strength cu of saturated, undrained cohesive soils 28 3.2.4 Assessing the subsoil for the installation of piles and sheet piles and for selecting the installation method 31 3.2.5 Classifying the subsoil in homogeneous zones 34 3.3 Water pressure 35 3.3.1 General 35 3.3.2 Resultant water pressure in the direction of the water side 36 3.3.3 Resultant water pressure on quay walls in front of embankments with elevated platforms in tidal areas 38 3.3.4 Taking account of groundwater flow 39 3.4 Hydraulic heave failure 45 3.5 Earth pressure 49 3.5.1 General 49 3.5.2 Considering the cohesion in cohesive soils 49 3.5.3 Considering the apparent cohesion (capillary cohesion) in sand 49 3.5.4 Determining active earth pressure for a steep, paved embankment in a partially sloping waterfront structure 49 3.5.5 Determining the active earth pressure shielding on a wall below a relieving platform with average ground surcharges 50 3.5.6 Earth pressure distribution under limited loads 52 3.5.7 Determining active earth pressure in saturated, non-consolidated or partially consolidated, soft cohesive soils 53 3.5.8 Effect of water pressure difference beneath beds of watercourses 56 3.5.9 Considering active earth pressure and resultant water pressure, and construction guidance for waterfront structures with soil replacement and a contaminated or disturbed base of excavation 57 3.5.10 Effect of groundwater flow on resultant water pressure and active and passive earth pressures 60 3.5.11 Determining the amount of displacement required to mobilise passive earth pressure in non-cohesive soils 62 3.5.12 Measures for increasing the passive earth pressure in front of waterfront structures 63 3.5.13 Passive earth pressure in front of abrupt changes in ground level in soft cohesive soils with rapid load application on the land side 65 3.5.14 Waterfront structures in seismic regions 65 References 69 4 Loads on waterfront structures 73 4.1 Vessel berthing velocities and pressures 73 4.1.1 Guide values 73 4.1.2 Loads on waterfront structures due to fender reaction forces 74 4.2 Vertical imposed loads 74 4.2.1 General 74 4.2.2 Basic situation 1 76 4.2.3 Basic situation 2 76 4.2.4 Basic situation 3 76 4.2.5 Loading assumptions for quay surfaces 76 4.3 Sea state and wave pressure 77 4.3.1 General 77 4.3.2 Description of the sea state 77 4.3.3 Determining the sea state parameters 78 4.3.4 Design concepts and specification of design parameters 82 4.3.5 Conversion of the sea state 83 4.3.6 Wave pressure on vertical quay walls in coastal areas 85 4.4 Effects of waves due to ship movements 90 4.4.1 General 90 4.4.2 Wave heights 91 4.5 Choosing a greater design depth (allowance for scouring) 94 4.6 Loads arising from surging and receding waves due to the inflow or outflow of water 94 4.6.1 General 94 4.6.2 Determining wave values 94 4.6.3 Loading assumptions 95 4.7 Wave pressure on piled structures 96 4.7.1 General 96 4.7.2 Method of calculation according to Morison et al.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Applied Building Physics: Ambient Conditions,
Book SynopsisWhile the first volume on building physics deals with the physical principles of heat, air and moisture behaviour of buildings, building structures and components, this second volume on applied building physics focuses on the question of what the desired performance of buildings consists of. To achieve this, knowledge of the external environmental effects and the internal live loads to which buildings are subjected is a necessary first step. Subsequently, the performance requirements and the physical correspondences are deepened with the determination of their physical parameters, at the levels of buildings, building structures and building components. Compared to the second edition, the discussion of criteria is not limited to thermal comfort, but also includes acoustic, visual and olfactory aspects. Likewise, the indoor air quality is considered in a broader way. Analyses and calculations result in sustainable buildings with a comfortable indoor climate from functional and durable building constructions. Compared to the second edition, the text for the third edition has been reorganised, corrected, revised and expanded where appropriate. A useful appendix for quick reference contains standard values of material properties for a wide range of building materials. The analyses and calculations described in this book result in sustainable buildings made of functional and durable building constructions, with comfortable and healthy indoor climate and air quality. Compared to the second edition the text in this third edition has been reshuffled, corrected, reworked and extended where appropriate.Table of ContentsPreface Units and Symbols Introduction, Historical Review 1 Ambient Conditions Out- and Indoors 1.1 Overview 1.2 Outdoors 1.3 Indoors Further Reading 2 Performance Metrics and Arrays 2.1 Definitions 2.2 Functional Demands 2.3 Performance Requirements 2.4 A short history 2.5 Performance arrays Further Reading 3 Functional Demands at the Whole Building Level 3.1 In brief 3.2 Thermal, acoustical, visual and olfactory comfort 3.3 Health and Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) 3.4 Energy Efficiency 3.5 Durability 3.6 Economics 3.7 Sustainability 3.8 High performance buildings Further Reading 4 Heat, Air, Moisture Metrics at the Building Assembly Level 4.1 Introduction 4.2 Air-tightness 4.3 Thermal transmittance 4.4 Transient thermal response 4.5 Moisture tolerance 4.6 Thermal bridging 4.7 Contact coefficient 4.8 Hygrothermal stress and strain 4.9 Transparent parts: solar transmittance Further Reading 5 The Envelope Parts HAM Performances Applied to Timber-Frame 5.1 In general 5.2 Assembly 5.3 Performance evaluation Further Reading Appendix: Heat, Air, Moisture Material Properties Index

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH PerformanceBased Building Design
Book SynopsisThis third book in a series of three dealing with building physics and its application, looks to the impact a performance requirements linked approach has on building design and construction. It starts with a resumption of what''s expected from buildings, followed by discussing a range of materials needed to guarantee a correct heat, air, moisture response. Then, looked is to preparing the building site, the excavations needed, the foundations, the below-grade parts and spaces, the structural systems commonly used, the floors, different types of outer walls, different types of roof assemblies, inside walls, the glazing, windows, outer doors, glass façades, balconies, all kind of shafts, chimneys, stairs, timber-frame construction, wall, floor and ceiling finishes. Each time again, not only the heat, air, moisture related metrics but also structural integrity, durability, fire safety, acoustics, maintenance, sustainability and buildability are discussed. The whole ends with looking to the risks deficiencies may cause. To do so, beside years of teaching, research and curing damage cases due to failing performance, a bunch of national and international sources and literature has been consulted, which is why each chapter ends with an extended has read list. Mayor changes compared to the first edition is that the two volumes form one now, whereby combining, reshuffling, extending and redrafting was done where appropriate and necessary, so reducing the number of chapters from 28 to 20. Excavations and foundations now form a joint chapter, while the requirements for outer walls and roofs are considered uniformly and are now available in eight chapters on the building envelope, five of which are on outer walls and three on roof structures. Then come the inside walls and other specific parts, followed by one chapter on windows, outer doors and glass facades. The last three chapters deal with timber-frame construction, finishings, and risk assessment. The content of all chapters has been critically reviewed, actualized and gifted with additional figures where needed, so incorporating the experiences gained during 38 years of teaching to architectural and building engineering students, 36 years of research and 53 years of consultancy.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater
Book SynopsisMetal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal Discover a groundbreaking new wastewater decontamination technology The removal of wastewater contaminants is a key aspect of the water cycle, allowing water to be fed safely back into circulation within a given ecosystem. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous materials which can reversibly bind and sequester both metal ions and potentially harmful organic substances, giving them a potentially crucial role in the targeted removal of wastewater contaminants. They may also enable significant cost and energy savings over now-conventional ion exchangers in water treatment plants. Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal provides an accessible, practical guide to the development, evaluation, and potential applications of MOFs in maintaining the water cycle. It begins with an overview of the major metallic and non-metallic contaminants found in wastewater and their interactions with major MOF-based materials, before moving to the challenges and opportunities provided by MOFs in the pursuit of a sustainable, energy-efficient water cycle. The result is a groundbreaking resource in the ever-expanding global fight to keep water clean and safe. Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal readers will also find: MOF technology and its water treatment applications discussed in depth for the first time in a major publication Comparison with existing decontamination technologies and environmental risk assessment Applications for environmental as well as industrial toxicants based on recent research and on case studies Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal is indispensable for water chemists, chemical engineers, environmental chemists, and for any researchers or industry professionals working with water decontamination technologies.Table of ContentsPreface xiii 1 Application of MOFs on Removal of Emerging Water Contaminants 1 Nguyen Minh Viet, Tran Thi Viet Ha, and Nguyen Le Minh Tri Abbreviated list 1 1.1 Introduction 1 1.1.1 Sources of Emerging Water Contaminants 1 1.1.2 Emerging Water Contaminants Treatment Methods 2 1.1.3 MOFs as Exceptional Materials for Water Remediation 7 1.2 MOFs Strategies in Water Remediation 7 1.2.1 Adsorption 8 1.2.2 Catalyst 10 1.2.3 Synergistic Effect of Adsorption and Photocatalyst 12 1.3 Emerging Water Contaminants by MOFs 12 1.3.1 Organic Dyes 12 1.3.2 Adsorption 12 1.3.3 Photocatalytic and Electrostatic Activities 13 1.3.4 PPCPs 13 1.3.5 Adsorption 14 1.3.6 Photocatalytic Activities 14 1.3.7 Herbicides and Pesticides 15 1.3.8 Adsorption 15 1.3.9 Photocatalytic Activities 16 1.3.10 Industrial Compounds/By-products 17 1.3.11 Adsorption 17 1.3.12 Photocatalytic Activities 17 1.4 Challenges and Perspective in Using MOFs for the Removal of Emerging Water Contaminants 17 1.5 Conclusion 18 2 Metal-Organic Frameworks and Their Stepwise Preparatory Methods (Synthesis) for Water Treatment 27 Debarati Chakraborty and Prof. Siddhartha S.

Taylor & Francis Funicular Structures
Funicular structures are structural skeletons designed using methodologies that analyze the flow and direction of forces, which can be categorized as compression, tension, or a combination of both. They are not only elegant, resembling naturally occurring forms, but are highly efficient and can be built with minimal use of relatively low-strength materials, thus minimising their negative environmental impact. This book presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical foundations and practical methods of designing funicular structures for maximum efficiency.Beginning with a foundation and introduction to funicular structures for those new to the subject, the book then provides in-depth coverage of cables, arches, shells and vaults, domes, and spatial structures. Chapters explain the theory behind funicular structures in 2D, spatial funicular structures in 3D and examine their structural behaviour. Historical and recent famous structures from around the globe are analysed, and
