Glazing is used to allow the design and construction of buildings that are well lit, spacious and have a minimum impact on vision out. A variety of glazing infill materials and glazing systems may be used, which may require expert guidance if buildings are to be designed and glazing selected to ensure satisfactory long-term safety and performance. This book provides clear, consistent information on glazing that is used on both new and existing buildings and that has a potential to fall on breakage, causing safety or other concerns.

The distinguishing feature of the construction manuals from Edition Detail and the internationally renowned journal Detail is the exceptional quality of the information it imparts. These books have set new standards and become indispensable in the daily work of planning and building. They are now being published in English for the first time. This volume shows the wide range of possibilities for using glass in construction, beginning with a historical overview of glass in architecture.

This FacadesTechnical Review is the first in a series of books from RlBA Publishing which aims to show what is current in the technical aspects of building design.

All building users should be able to enter and move around a building with the confidence that the doors, windows and balustrades they walk past or through are safe to use. Sadly, glass related accidents and injuries due to human impact with glazing products are all too common. Many of these accidents involve pain, suffering, broken bones and even death, and often occur because the glass or glazing material is either not visually apparent to the building user, is not a safety glass, or robust enough to withstand human impact.

This book is very much the result of a collaboration between the three co-authors: Professors Nakasone and Yoshimoto of Tokyo University of Science, Japan and Professor Stolarski of Brunel University, United Kingdom. This collaboration started some 10 years ago and initially covered only research topics of interest to the authors. Exchange of academic staff and research students have taken place and archive papers have been published. However, being academic does not mean research only.

This manual presents a set of simple building systems that have been analyzed using ETABS Version 8. The examples demonstrate some of the analytical capabilities of the ETABS system. For purposes of verification, key results produced by ETABS are compared to independent sources, such as hand calculated results, theoretical or published results, or results obtained from other structural/finite element programs that are verified not using ETABS. The examples cover each type of element, static and dynamic analysis and linear and nonlinear options.

SAP2000/Bridge is an analysis and design program for bridge structures. The ease with which complex bridge structures can be modeled has made the SAP2000/Bridge program the most useful bridge analysis and design program in the industry. Using SAP2000/Bridge, engineers can easily define complex bridge geometries, boundary conditions and load cases. The bridge models are defined parametrically, using terms that are familiar to bridge engineers, such as layout lines, spans, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges, and post-tensioning.
