It explores the civil engineering project process, starting with the generation of an existing surface Digital Terrain Model. PowerCivil’s unique, object-orientated Modeler surface modeling module is employed to guide users through the surface design component of the project. Scenarios include alignment and roadway design, parking lot and pond grading, and intersection grading made easy. 

Dostępność: na zamówienie RFID for Materials Management and Productivity Improvement is the first comprehensive reference book available to guide users in the capital projects industry through the process of using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in the supply chain to achieve financial benefits. It is a concise resource to access the requirements, implementation, and usage of RFID on a construction job-site, specifically as it relates to pipe spools and marked metal pieces.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Schedule for Sale is a guidebook for applying WorkFace Planning to optimize construction productivity through preparation and planning. The basic concept of WorkFace Planning – an industry best practice – is that construction schedules can be reduced by improving the coordination of information, tools, and materials at the work face, where work is performed. The process improves quality and reduces construction costs by minimizing schedules through improved productivity. This is accomplished by developing detailed, achievable plans that are based upon reality and experience.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Space Craft is a snapshot of the rapidly developing subject of architectural 3-D computer modeling. Increasingly important in contemporary architecture, many of today’s iconic free-form structures simply couldn’t be made without the advanced digital techniques described here. Packed with cutting-edge case studies by acknowledged leaders in the field, the book explores the contemporary state of the art and hints at its monumental potential, a potential that is within reach of very small practices – even sole practitioners.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Architectural Geometry is the first book to introduce a revolutionary new approach to design. Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the actual construction. Modern constructive geometry provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes. This results in new challenges for architecture. However, the architectural application also poses new problems to geometry. Architectural geometry is therefore an entire research area, currently emerging at the border between applied geometry and architecture.

Dostępność: na zamówienie MEANDER – Variegating Architecture features the research and teaching of Ferda Kolatan and Jenny Sabin – work that exemplifies a new generation of research-based practices. These practices are enriching the ways in which architecture can be made, employed, and enjoyed. Their research builds on the shared platforms and networks that have evolved over the past two decades to focus on the production of variegated organizations. It tests the social, cultural, and aesthetic potential of such architectures at different scales and in different materials.

Dostępność: na zamówienie New computer and digital fabrication tools are driving architectural designs to push the boundaries of form, customization, and construction. Driven by practices wanting and needing to produce novelty, computer-aided design systems are becoming increasingly parametric -- they represent designs that change with their input data. These systems give more control and capability to designers, but require much more comprehensive understanding if they are to be used effectively.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Discovering Bentley Architecture is based on the award-winning MicroStation Platform with the benefit of a uniform interface throughout the entire Bentley Building product line. With the ability to create a BIM (Building Information Model) in either 2D or 3D, Bentley Architecture speeds up the creation of Construction Documentation while creating useful BIM data.

Dostępność: na zamówienie This book provides the last word on feature-by-feature comparisons of AutoCAD and MicroStation from the user's perspective. Each chapter presents a quick summary of a specific feature in AutoCAD, followed by the related feature in MicroStation. The AutoCAD software users will find the book to be a great asset in transitioning from the AutoCAD environment to the MicroStation design environment. Conversely, the book is equally valuable for the MicroStation product user who needs to make the transition to AutoCAD.
