A bare and an infilled four-storey plane RC frame have been studied. The buildings had been designed to reproduce the design practice in European and Mediterranean countries about forty to fifty years ago (Carvalho 8c Coelho 2001). The elevation, the plan and the typical reinforcement in columns are presented in Figure 2. The structure was tested in full scale at ELSA Laboratory in the JRC in Ispra. Detailed description of buildings and results of the experiments can be found in ECOEST2-ICONS Report No.2 (Carvalho Sc Coelho 2001). 

The numerical model used to interpret cylinder wall expansion experiments must include a realistic description of build-up of detonation, Forest Fire burn and resulting detonation wave curvature. A problem in numerical simulation of long cylinders of explosive confined by thin metal walls is to obtain sufficient numerical resolution to describe the explosive burn properly and also to follow the simulation of long cylinders. The NOBEL code includes the necessary physics and will numerically model cylinder tests as described in Chapter 6. 

In practice, each CSF is a Slater determinant of molecular orbitals, which are divided into three types inactive (doubly occupied), virtual (unoccupied), and active (variable occupancy). The active orbitals are used to build up the various CSFs, and so introduce flexibility into the wave function by including configurations that can describe different situations. Approximate electronic-state wave functions are then provided by the eigenfunctions of the electronic Flamiltonian in the CSF basis. This contrasts to standard FIF theory in which only a single determinant is used, without active orbitals. The use of CSFs, gives the MCSCF wave function a structure that can be interpreted using chemical pictures of electronic configurations [229]. An interpretation in terms of valence bond sti uctures has also been developed, which is very useful for description of a chemical process (see the appendix in [230] and references cited therein). 

ChemSketch has some special-purpose building functions. The peptide builder creates a line structure from the protein sequence defined with the typical three-letter abbreviations. The carbohydrate builder creates a structure from a text string description of the molecule. The nucleic acid builder creates a structure from the typical one-letter abbreviations. There is a function to clean up the shape of the structure (i.e., make bond lengths equivalent). There is also a three-dimensional optimization routine, which uses a proprietary modification of the CHARMM force field. It is possible to set the molecule line drawing mode to obey the conventions of several different publishers. 

In a similar vein, mean seawater temperatures can be estimated from the ratio of 0 to 0 in limestone. The latter rock is composed of calcium carbonate, laid down from shells of countless small sea creatures as they die and fall to the bottom of the ocean. The ratio of the oxygen isotopes locked up as carbon dioxide varies with the temperature of sea water. Any organisms building shells will fix the ratio in the calcium carbonate of their shells. As the limestone deposits form, the layers represent a chronological description of the mean sea temperature. To assess mean sea temperatures from thousands or millions of years ago, it is necessary only to measure accurately the ratio and use a precalibrated graph that relates temperatures to isotope ratios in sea water. 

The assessment of the contribution of a product to the fire severity and the resulting hazard to people and property combines appropriate product flammabihty data, descriptions of the building and occupants, and computer software that includes the dynamics and chemistry of fires. This type of assessment offers benefits not available from stand-alone test methods quantitative appraisal of the incremental impact on fire safety of changes in a product appraisal of the use of a given material in a number of products and appraisal of the differing impacts of a product in different buildings and occupancies. One method, HAZARD I (11), has been used to determine that several commonly used fire-retardant—polymer systems reduced the overall fire hazard compared to similar nonfire retarded formulations (12). 

The Phoenicians were building water ducts and pipelines of clay, stone, or bronze about 1000 B.c. and the construction of long-distance water pipelines flourished in imperial Roman times. The water supply lines of Rome had a total length of about 450 km, and consisted mainly of open or covered water ducts. The Roman writer Vitruvius gives a fairly accurate description of the manufacture of lead pipes [8]. The pipes were above ground and were often laid beside the roadway or in ducts inside houses [9]. 

The fluid mechanics origins of shock-compression science are reflected in the early literature, which builds upon fluid mechanics concepts and is more concerned with basic issues of wave propagation than solid state materials properties. Indeed, mechanical wave measurements, upon which much of shock-compression science is built, give no direct information on defects. This fluids bias has led to a situation in which there appears to be no published terse description of shock-compressed solids comparable to Kormer s for the perfect lattice. Davison and Graham described the situation as an elastic fluid approximation. A description of shock-compressed solids in terms of the benign shock paradigm might perhaps be stated as ...

In the molecular orbital description of homonuclear diatomic molecules, we first build all possible molecular orbitals from the available valence-shell atomic orbitals. Then we accommodate the valence electrons in molecular orbitals by using the same procedure we used in the building-up principle for atoms (Section 1.13). That is,... 

The amino acids, basic building blocks of proteins, all share this dual acid-base character. See Chapter 13 for a description of the amino acids and their biological chemistry. Organic bases also have a long and varied history as painkillers and narcotics, as our Chemishy and Life Box on the next page describes.

The Hartree-Fock description of the hydrogen molecule requires two spinorbitals, which are used to build the single-determinant two-electron wave function. In the Restricted Hartree-Fock method (RHF) these two spinorbitals are created from the same spatial... 

This section presents a brief description of the methods for determining the building response to explosions and how to interpret that response in terms of consequences to the building. Appendix B contains a general discussion on the principles of building design and evaluation for explosion effects. 

Short descriptions of some building related technologies are given. Application of these technologies will make a significant contribution to mitigation efforts.
