Paperback. Condition: New. 'Sustainable design' asks; How we can design while aiming to do no harm? Unfortunately, when we don't reach that aim, we end up doing harm. 'Regenerative design' asks a different question; How can we design in a way that increases biodiversity, reduces carbon and leads to flourishing communities? In short how can we design so that people (and the ecosystems that support them) thrive. In this book the authors explore how, as structural engineers, we can bring about change. Using creative metaphors and case studies they:* Explain how engineers can change their practice now - to create a regenerative future* Explore the different levels of change - from individual projects to the culture of our industry* Illustrate how we can learn from living systems* Show how, by considering not just our site but the whole supply and waste chain, we can reimagine our impact - both positive and negativeThe book is a creative call for radical change; encouraging engineers, and anyone else involved in the built environment, to think and design differently - to do more good.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The world is changing, fast. In this new thought leadership title, the authors try to answer the question "What is the future of structural design?"Central to their response is an examination of the role of uncertainty in the design process. This book is a "What if?" rather than a "How to" - founded in the theory of reliability and risk-based design.Specifically, the book explores:Why we should be confident in designing to the codes, and not to more than the codesEmergent materials in response to regenerative designDesign considerations for the reuse of existing buildings as we transition to a circular economyThe ethical basis for this approachWhat the future of design might look likeThe book includes a number of conceptual case studies that explore what the work of an engineer might look like in the future. Above all else it challenges structural designers to reimagine their work in the face of new global challenges and provides an optimistic way forward. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Subsidence can affect many types of structure and cause a range of faults, from minor cracking to total collapse. In 2000, the Institutions Subsidence of low-rise buildings (2nd edition) was created to provide an all-embracing guide to the subject of subsidence rectification. This new guidance draws on the significant developments of the last 23 years in areas such as data capture and trending analysis, improvements in diagnostic and investigative methods, and additional rectification processes and benefits from a wide-ranging team of specialists to provide world-leading, in-depth guidance that has been supported by the UKs Forestry Commission.The result is a superlative publication which covers the entire subject of subsidence, from the discovery of a crack to the sign-off of a completed rectification project Comprehensive guidance on the identification and rectification of subsidence damage caused by foundation and subsoil movement Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As the starting point for any engineering project, mastering conceptual design means you'll understand how to work from a client brief, produce viable structural solutions, and test the feasibility of your ideas. You'll identify and solve major problems before you embark on a detailed design, and learn the skills to work with clients and colleagues from all disciplines.Drawing on the expertise of seven engineering/teaching professionals, and led by the University of Bristol's Dr James Norman, this book sets out to develop students' and graduates' understanding of the process - providing inspiration for the Institution's IPD core objective on conceptual design.Topics covered include: generating and communicating ideas through sketching and writing, preparing the brief, the concept design process itself, consideration of site constraints and ground conditions, developing a structural scheme, understanding robustness and stability, sizing of elements, and what to produce at the end of the process. It also includes worked examples. This book is designed to help structural engineering students and graduates navigate (and make the most of) the conceptual design process; from idea generation and communicating and developing those initial ideas through drawing, to the development of a design brief.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We are on the verge of a new generation of technology and innovation. Finite Element Analysis is being linked parametrically with CAD; artificial intelligence and machine learning are being applied to everyday engineering tasks. What does today's graduate (and those with more experience too) need to know about these 'engineering assistants' in order to harness their full potential? Peter Debney takes the reader on a practical, theoretical, and philosophical journey; balancing a complex subject with a fresh, engaging, and often humorous style. Forewords from Chris Wise, Tristram Carfrae, and Jon Leach precede chapters that discuss:Design (including parametric design)Modelling (and its problems)Analysis (basics and methods/linear, nonlinear, and dynamic)OptimisationAI and machine learningThe future of engineering softwareAn extensive reference list supports the text. The time has come for a fresh look at computing for structural engineers in this age of machine learning and automation. This book is an introduction to computational aspects of designing for the built environment; bringing those aspects together to look at the whole design process, with minimal maths but plenty of of explanation and context.
