  • Best Practices for Commercial Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System Installation

    by Sara Royle, Kristin Steranka, James A. Milke, Rosalie Wills ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    This SpringerBrief presents information on a wide variety of hazards and the damage potential caused by installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system. The current installation practices for PV systems on roofs create electrical, fire, structural, and weather-related hazards that do not comply to current codes, standards and guidance documents. Potential dangers include structural loading, wind loads, ... Read more

  • Reducing the Impacts of Development on Wildlife

    by James Gleeson, Deborah Gleeson ...
    The rapidly increasing number of threatened flora and fauna species worldwide is one of the chief problems confronting environmental professionals today. This problem is largely due to the impact humans have had on land use through development (e.g. agricultural, residential, industrial, infrastructure and mining developments). The requirement for developers to implement measures to reduce the ... Read more

  • Earthquake Resistant Buildings

    Dynamic Analyses, Numerical Computations, Codified Methods, Case Studies and Examples

    by M.Y.H. Bangash ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Much of the material presented in this book examines building structures. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it ... Read more

  • Deformation Compatibility Control for Engineering Structures

    Methods and Applications

    by Mengchong Chen, Zhihui Zhou, Hanhua Zhu, Jianliang Deng ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book presents essential methods of deformation compatibility control, and explicitly addresses the implied conditions on the methods’ deformation compatibility. Consequently, these conditions can be considered in engineering structure design, while the conditions on stable equilibrium can be taken into account in the design method. Thus, the designed deformation and the actual deformation of ... Read more

  • Breakdown in Traffic Networks

    Fundamentals of Transportation Science

    by Boris S. Kerner ...
    This book offers a detailed investigation of breakdowns in traffic and transportation networks. It shows empirically that transitions from free flow to so-called synchronized flow, initiated by local disturbances at network bottlenecks, display a nucleation-type behavior: while small disturbances in free flow decay, larger ones grow further and lead to breakdowns at the bottlenecks. Further, it ... Read more

  • Towards a Territorial Multi-Disaster Buildings’ Resistance Certification

    by Daniele Fabrizio Bignami ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Disaster risk is increasing, not only in number of events, but also in incurred losses. Such increases are being driven also by the growing exposure of assets, due to the rapid urban growth, because vulnerability decreases as countries develop, but not enough to compensate. The situation will be more and more critical, due to the growth of the amount of the building stock. Thus we need new ... Read more
