timber web thickness and the steel flanges are totally encapsulated within the timber web. The three beam styles are shown in Figure 1. The physical properties of steel beams with timber webs structures are expected to be highly influenced by the nature of the connection between steel and timber. However, the knowledge of the macro-mechanical properties of glued steel-timber joints is still limited. The work to be performed intends to increase the body of knowledge on this subject. This research
business district were forced to be demolished, leaving it with brownfield developments –the redevelopment of an area of land that has been previously used; the land has consequently either become vacant, deserted or contaminated. The Buildwise Properties are interested in redeveloping a previously factory premises on the outskirts of Christchurch. This report covers the client’s requirements –in terms of time, cost and quality; factors that have a significant impact on design solution and project
Natural gas transmission pipeline network system. Introduction One of the most widely used source of energy in world is natural gas (NG) and is due to its environment friendly characteristics. The distance between the resources and the place where it is needed is usually far apart. It is more economical to transport natural gas by pipeline compared to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for short distance. In transmission pipeline network system (TPNS), gas flow through various devices such as regulators

Ethanol has been the most widely used biofuel currently. However, when it is used in ignition cars, butanol contains more energy and has lower hygroscopic property and vapour pressure than ethanol when the volumes are same, by the way, soot emissions can be reduced for diesel fuel when butanol is added in. (Schwarz, 2007) In addition, butanol plays an important role in several fields, such as cosmetics,
“Buildings consume more resources than necessary, negatively impact the environment, and generate a large amount of waste.” U.S. Department of Energy, 2003 The challenge, today, is to build intelligently, so that buildings use a minimum of non-renewable resources and produce a minimum of pollution and wastes, while increasing the well-being of the occupants. This paper is an effort to understand the importance of building materials’ selection in sustainable design and the place of traditional
Hospitality Management 18 (1999) 427}442 Operational issues and trends in the hospitality industry Peter Jones School of Management Studies for the Service Sector, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, UK Abstract This article makes some predictions about the future by considering operational issues in the "rst part of the next century. Hospitality operations management is considered at two levels * the "rm level at which strategic operations management takes place; and the unit level
which it can spread out from its original source, its potential to change direction unexpectedly, and its ability to jump gaps such as roads, rivers and fire breaks.[3] Forest fires are characterized in terms of the cause of ignition, their physical properties such as speed of propagation, the combustible
An invasive species has entered Maryland’s waters and threatens to dramatically alter the balance of the aquatic ecosystem. The Northern Snakehead fish, native to Asia and Africa, is a voracious predator, competing with native fish at all stages of its life. The juveniles will consume zooplankton, insect larvae, small crustaceans and other fry fish. Adults eat fish, crustaceans, frogs, small reptiles and even birds and mammals. Snakeheads aggressively protect their young. They are also air-breathers
