Taylor & Francis Ltd Fire Safety Design for Tall Buildings
Book SynopsisFire Safety Design for Tall Buildings provides structural engineers, architects, and students with a systematic introduction to fire safety design for tall buildings based on current analysis methods, design guidelines, and codes. It covers almost all aspects of fire safety design that an engineer or an architect might encounterâsuch as performance-based design and the basic principles of fire development and heat transfer.It also sets out an effective way of preventing the progressive collapse of a building in fire, and it demonstrates 3D modeling techniques to perform structural fire analysis with examples that replicate real fire incidents such as the Twin Towers and WTC7. This helps readers to understand the design of structures and analyze their behavior in fire.Table of Contents1 Introduction 2 Regulatory requirements and basic fire safety design principles 3 Fundamentals of fire and fire safety design 4 Structural fire design principles for tall buildings 5 Typical fire safety design strategy for tall buildings 6 Fire analysis and modeling 7 Preventing fire-induced collapse of tall buildings 8 New technologies and machine learning in fire safety design 9 Post-fire damage assessment

Taylor & Francis Preventing Industrial Accidents
Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today â for better and worse. Heinrichâs work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay, secondary sources, or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrichâs work has been out of print for decades: it is notoriously hard to find, and quality biographical information is hard to get.Based on some serious safety archaeology, which provided access to many of Heinrichâs original papers, books, and rather rich biographical information, this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich, the context he worked in, and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrichâs work and discusses them, paying attention to their ori

Taylor & Francis Ltd Solar Textiles
Book SynopsisMost photovoltaic (PV) installations utilise heavy conventional glass or polycarbonate panels, and even newly developed thin plastic or metal films for PV cell use may fracture during both construction and application. Textile fabrics, the most widespread flexible materials in everyday use, offer a solution to the need for lightweight, flexible solar PV generators. Solar Textiles: The Flexible Solution for Solar Power is about the incorporation and operation of solar cells on textile fabrics. The combination of textile manufacturing and solar PV cell technology opens up further avenues for both the textile and semiconductor industries. Thus, this book reflects the progressively increasing commercial interest in PV cell technology and the versatility that their integration in textiles provides. Discusses textiles as electrical substrates Explains the photovoltaic effect and associated parameters Offers special consideration of solar cells on textiles Compares fibres and fabrics and how to implement PV activity on a textile Describes manufacturing methods outside of semiconductor technology Includes applications open only to textiles This work is aimed at textile technologists, electronic engineers, solar technologists, civil engineers and designers in building fabrics and architecture.Table of Contents1. The Versatility of Textile Fabrics, 2. The Photovoltaic Effect and How It Is Used, 3. Constructions of Textile Fabrics, 4. Strategies for Achieving Electrically Conducting Textile Fabrics, 5. Enabling Textile Fabrics to Become Photovoltaically Active, 6. Technological and Design Specifications, 7. Manufacturing: Moving from Laboratory to Production, 8. Applications of Solar Textile Fabrics, 9. The Outlook for Solar Textiles

Taylor & Francis Ltd Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture
Book SynopsisIn the contemporary practice of architecture, digital design and fabrication are emergent technologies in transforming how architects present a design and form a material strategy that is responsible, equitable, sustainable, resilient, and forward-looking. This book exposes dialogue between history, theory, design, construction, technology, and sensory experience by means of digital simulations that enhance the assessment and values of our material choices. It offers a critical look to the past to inspire the future. This new edition looks to Alvar Aalto as the primary protagonist for channeling discussions related to these topics. Architects like ALA, Shigeru Ban, 3XN, Peter Zumthor, and others also play the role of contemporary guides in this review. The work of Aalto and selected contemporary architects, along with computer modeling software, showcase the importance of comprehensive design. Organized by the five Ts of contemporary architectural discourseTypology, TopoTable of ContentsIntroduction—Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture 1. Topology–Design in Light of Place 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Aeroform
Book SynopsisAeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement provides a comprehensive introduction to applying aerodynamic principles to architectural design. It presents a challenge to architects and architectural engineers to give shape to the wind and express its influence on architectural form. The wind pushes and pulls on our buildings, infiltrates and exfiltrates through cracks and openings, and lifts roofs during storm events. It can also offer opportunities for resource conservation through natural ventilation or a biophilic connection between indoors and out. This book provides basic concepts in fluid mechanics such as materials, forces, equilibrium, pressure, and hydrostatics; introduces the reader to the concept of airflow; and provides strategies for designing for wind resistance, especially in preventing uplift. Natural ventilation and forced airflow are explored using examples such as Thomas Herzogâs Hall 26 in Hanover, RWE Ag building in Essen Germany, and the KimbelTable of Contents1. Introduction 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Microbiology of Green Fuels
Book SynopsisThe replacement of fossil-derived compounds by bio-based fuels and chemicals is crucial for the implementation of a sustainable bioeconomy. In this context, microorganisms are key players for biofuels' production from renewable sources.Biotechnological biofuel production processes require conversion microorganisms capable of both efficiently assimilating renewable low-cost carbon sources and diverting their metabolisms towards the specific biofuel. Exploring the wide diversity of microorganisms available on Earth will surely aid to make the production of green fuels a reality.This book gives a wide overview of different microbial-based processes for green fuels production. The book also includes techno-economic analysis and highlights strategic, commercial and environmental interests in promoting green fuels. All these facts make this book very valuable not only for the scientific community but also for biofuel companies and policy makers.Table of Contents1.
