The Deck Access Housing Design Guide A Return to Streets in the Sky

The Deck Access Housing Design Guide A Return to Streets in the Sky

The Deck Access Housing Design Guide is the first practical design guide to deck access housing. It focuses on the contemporary use of deck access housing sharing practical guidance and providing in-depth case studies while also presenting historical context about this flexible and evolving housing type. Despite a chequered history that saw it linked with urban decay and social malaise in the 1970s and 80s deck access housing today after a 40-year hiatus is fast becoming the default solution for mid-rise housing in the UK and London in particular. This is in part down to architects’ renewed interest in post-war Modernist typologies but also due to specific planning standards that favour the qualities – dual-aspect plans ‘public’ front doors – of deck access design. This comprehensive professional guide spotlights the best contemporary deck access housing in the UK and throughout mainland Europe explaining and analysing exemplars in detail. Illustrated in full colour throughout with plans elevations photographs project data and annotations case studies include both new build and retrofit projects in public housing co-housing and Third Age residential projects. Good architectural practice flows from an informed understanding of cultural and design history coupled with practical guidance and clear analysis of case studies. That is what this book provides for anyone interested in or involved in the design and delivery of deck access housing.

Bridge Deck Analysis

Bridge Deck Analysis

Captures Current Developments in Bridge Design and MaintenanceRecent research in bridge design and maintenance has focused on the serviceability problems of older bridges with aging joints. The favored solution of integral construction and design has produced bridges with fewer joints and bearings that require less maintenance and deliver increased durability. Bridge Deck Analysis Second Edition outlines this growing development and covers the structural analysis of most common bridge forms. It introduces reliability analysis an emergent method that allows bridge engineers to determine risk when maintaining older or damaged bridges. Explains the Background Theory along with Practical ToolsThis book includes practical examples of everyday problems in bridge engineering and presents real-life examples of the application of reliability analysis. The authors show how reliability analysis can determine structural safety even for bridges which have failed a deterministic assessment. They also update other chapters to reflect the most current advancements towards more sophisticated analysis and the more widespread use of finite element software. What’s New in this Edition:Incorporates new research on soil-structure interactionA new section with examples of how to analyze for the effects of creepGreatly expands the sections on 3-D brick finite elementsNow consistent with both Eurocodes and AASHTO standards An appropriate resource for senior undergraduates taking an advanced course on bridge engineering Bridge Deck Analysis is also suitable for practicing engineers and other professionals involved in the development of bridge design.

Coping with Computers in the Cockpit

Coping with Computers in the Cockpit

First published in 1999 this volume examined how increasing cockpit automation in commercial fleets across the world has had a profound impact on the cognitive work that is carried out on the flight deck. Pilots have largely been transformed into supervisory controllers managing a suite of human and automated resources. Operational and training requirements have changed and the potential for human error and system breakdown has shifted. This compelling book critically examines how airlines regulators educators and manufacturers cope with these and other consequences of advanced aircraft automation. | Coping with Computers in the Cockpit

Grey Funnel Lines Traditional Song & Verse of the Royal Navy 1900-1970

Grey Funnel Lines Traditional Song & Verse of the Royal Navy 1900-1970

Originally published in 1987. In this book we find songs reflecting every aspect of life in the twentieth-century Royal Navy both upper and lower deck: war ship’s routine aviation submarines the antics of dockyard personnel not to mention the matelot’s shore-going adventures both amorous and bibulous. The compiler was well-known as a folk-singer though he began his career in the Royal Navy. Based on his personal collection of Navy songs this book proves that the sailor’s muse did not desert him with the passing of the sailing ship. It also dispels the notion that the modern Jack Tar when he produces any songs at all confines himself to the pornographic. With the songs Cyril Tawney interweaves a commentary on the Royal Navy setting providing a backdrop to the sailor’s own words. This book is of enduring appeal to all who have served as well as to students of twentieth-century oral tradition. | Grey Funnel Lines Traditional Song & Verse of the Royal Navy 1900-1970

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

These documents were selected by Rear-Admiral Thursfield for the light they throw on life afloat in the Navy of the Napoleonic era rather than for their contribution to the history of the operations in which their authors took part. They comprise four ‘Journals’ based mainly on dairies kept at the time and written up at a later date for enjoyment by the author’s friends and family. The fifth document is not a journal at all but the Order Book of a frigate captain. In addition eleven letters are included written by men from the lower deck. Each journal is headed by an Introduction which puts it in its historical context. The journal of the Rev Edward Mangin is a lively record of life aboard a 74-gun battleship in 1812 written by a clergyman who was deeply shocked by the events and deaths he witnessed. Four of the paintings he made on the Gloucester are reproduced. Peter Cullen’s journal covers the period 1789-1802 starting from the time he joined the Navy as an assistant surgeon. He gives a long account of the mutiny at the Nore and was present at Nelson’s battle at Copenhagen. Robert Wilson was a pressed man an able seaman promoted to be signalman on the smart frigate Unité from 1805 to 1809. His journal is packed with details of the many varied duties she undertook in the Mediterranean in the post-Trafalgar period and how these affected her officers and crew. Charles Abbot was a midshipman on the Alceste when she carried Lord Amherst to China as ambassador in 1816 and sank off Borneo on her return voyage. | Five Naval Journals 1789-1817
