Detail Practice: Building with Steel is a handbook for quick, goal-oriented reading and implementation. Case study projects exemplify common norm details using large-scale drawings. The fundamentals of planning load-bearing structures provide design and planning help. This is supplemented by explanations of common load-bearing structures using examples of residential, office, hall and industrial buildings. Issues of fire safety and building physics particularly relevant to steel construction are treated alongside the use of steel as a material for cladding facades. Detail Practice: Building with Steel ist ein Handbuch für das schnelle, zielgerichtete Nachlesen und Umsetzen. Beispielprojekte erläutern gebräuchliche Regeldetails anhand großmaßstäblicher Detailzeichnungen. Grundlagen zur Tragwerksplanung helfen bei Entwurf und Planung. Ergänzend sind gängige Tragwerke an Beispielen wie Wohnungs-, Verwaltungs- und Hallenbau erläutert. Die im Stahlbau besonders relevanten Fragen zu Brandschutz und Bauphysik sind ebenso behandelt wie der Einsatz von Stahl als Material für Fassadenbekleidungen.

The trade in precious metals and stones has been linked to illicit financial flows, corruption, smuggling, drug trafficking, illicit arms trafficking, and the financing of terrorism. In addition, the extraction of precious minerals and the subsequent trade in these resources, if properly managed, present significant revenue opportunities, particularly for countries facing development needs. Building on staff expertise in anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) and technical support and analytical advice on the management of natural resources, this note is a reference guide to aid countries in using the AML/CFT framework to help combat crime related to and affecting the precious minerals sector while raising revenue.

We examine the relationship between South African Rand and gold price volatility using monthly data for the period 1980-2010. Our main findings is that prior to capital account liberalization the causality runs from South African Rand to gold price volatility but the causality runs the other way around for the post-liberalization period. These findings suggest that gold price volatility plays a key role in explaining both the excessive exchange rate volatility and current disproportionate share of speculative (short-run) inflows that South Africa has been coping with since the opening up of its capital account.

This book edited by Michael Mussa, James M. Boughton, and Peter Isard, records the proceedings of a seminar held at the IMF in March 1996 on the future of the special drawing right (SDR), given changes in the international monetary system since the inception of the SDR. The seminar focuses on the differences in opinion in the international community on the desirability or feasibility of an additional allocation of SDRs.
