| Builder’s Foundation Handbook | | Description: | This handbook contains a worksheet for selecting insulation levels based on specific building construction, climate, HVAC equipment, insulation cost, and other economic considerations. The worksheet permits optimization of foundation insulation levels for new or retrofit applications. Construction details representing good practices for the design and installation of energy efficient basement, crawl space, and slab-on-grade foundations are the focal point of the handbook. The construction details are keyed to lists of critical design information useful for specifying structural integrity; thermal and vapor control; subsurface drainage; waterproofing; and mold, mildew, odor, decay, termite, and radon control strategies. Another useful feature are checklist chapter summaries covering major design considerations for each foundation type-- basement, crawl space, and slab-on-grade. These checklist summaries are useful during design and construction inspection. The information in this handbook is drawn heavily from the first foundation handbook from the DOE/ORNL Building Envelope Systems and Materials Program, the Building Foundation Design Handbook (Labs et al., 1988), which is an extensive technical reference manual. This book presents “what to do in foundation design” in an inviting, concise format. This handbook is intended to serve the needs of active home builders; however, the information is pertinent to anyone involved in foundation design and construction decisions including homeowners, architects, and engineers. | | | Filesize: | 1.83 MB | | Added on: | 20-Oct-2009 | | Downloads: | 9 | | Rating: | 7.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Other Engineering Related / Ebooks | | Homepage | Comments (1) | | |
| Civil Engineering:Bridge inspection, maintenance and repair. | | Description: | This manual is a guide for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of bridges for military installations. It is a source of reference for planning, estimating, and technical accomplishment of maintenance and repair work and may serve as a training manual for facilities maintenance personnel in the Army and Air Force engaged in maintenance inspection and repair of bridges. | | | Filesize: | 4.77 MB | | Added on: | 23-Sep-2009 | | Downloads: | 5 | | Category: | Other Engineering Related / Ebooks | | |
| Civil: Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Piles Under Vertical Loads | | Description: |
A full-scale experiment on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) piles, including static and dynamic load tests, was conducted at a site provided by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
at its Port of Elizabeth facility in New Jersey, with the cooperation and support of its engineering department and the New York State Department of Transportation. The engineering use of FRP-
bearing piles required field performance assessment and development and evaluation of reliable testing procedures and design methods to assess short-term composite material properties, load- settlement response and axial-bearing capacity, drivability and constructability of composite piling, soil-pile interaction and load transfer along the installed piling, and creep behavior of FRP composite piles under vertical loads. | | | Filesize: | 1.86 MB | | Added on: | 23-Sep-2009 | | Downloads: | 5 | | Category: | Other Engineering Related / Ebooks | | |

| Security Engineering Electronic Security Systems | | Description: | Description: This UFC (Unified Facilities Criteria) document provides guidance on how to design electronic security systems required by the current antiterrorism/force-protection environment. Electronic security systems consist of access control systems (card reader systems), closed-circuit television (CCTV) system, intrusion detection systems, data transmission media systems (a means to communicate information internally and externally to DoD sites), and provision of local or regional dispatch centers (also known as security command
centers). Electronic security systems are one part of an overall physical security plan. This document provides guidance to commanders, architects and engineers on how to design electronic security systems for projects to include new construction, additions, renovations, expeditionary, or temporary construction.

| Electrical:Personal protective grounding for electric power facilities and power | | Description: | This Facilities Instructions, Standards, and Techniques (FIST) Volume is to establish clear and consistent instructions and procedures for temporary grounding of deenergized and isolated high-voltage equipment (over 600 volts) for the purpose of bare hand contact. This FIST applies to those facilities of the Federal power and water systems for which the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and its contractors and agents are responsible, and includes power and pumping plants, switchyards and substations, and transmission lines. A current copy of this document shall be readily available at each Reclamation office
and facility and to each employee that works on equipment required to be protective
grounded. A quick reference guide to grounding procedure contained in this FIST is presented in flow chart format in appendix G. | | | Filesize: | 1.62 MB | | Added on: | 25-Aug-2009 | | Downloads: | 0 | | Category: | Other Engineering Related / Ebooks | | |
| Oscillator Resonator Design Tutorial | | Description: | This paper discusses the design of various types of
resonator that form the heart of any oscillator de-
sign. The first section describes the different resonator
types including lumped, coaxial, microstrip and
dielectric. The following section deals with varactor
diodes, including design equations, temperature &
loaded Q performance. In the final section the defi-
nitions of loaded and unloaded Q are described
with a worked example and design techniques on Q
transformations.

| Elcetrical:Modern signal processing | | Description: | Abstract. Underlying many of the current mathematical opportunities in
digital signal processing are unsolved analog signal processing problems. For instance, digital signals for communication or sensing must map into an analog format for transmission through a physical layer. In this layer we meet a canonical example of analog signal processing: the electrical engineer’s impedance matching problem. Impedance matching is the design of analog signal processing circuits to minimize loss and distortion as the signal moves from its source into the propagation medium. This paper works the matching problem from theory to sampled data, exploiting links between H∞ theory, hyperbolic geometry, and matching circuits. We apply J. W. Helton’s significant extensions of operator theory, convex analysis, and optimization theory to demonstrate new approaches and research opportunities in this fundamental problem.
