This book addresses the steel structures design according to procedures and provisions set in the Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE DB-SE-A). A large collection of worked examples develop in a practical way the principles and requirements that will provide safety and serviceability to most of the steel structures for buildings Members under tension, compression and bending are studied in order of increasing complexity, including flexural buckling and lateral-torsional buckling phenomena. Finally, step by step procedures for the design of bolted and welded connections are given, including column bases design All tables and mathematical expressions needed to follow every step of …
This book, intended for students of Architecture or structural engineering, addresses the basis of structural design according to procedures and provisions set in the Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE DB-SE & CTE DB SE-AE) and in the Code for Seismic Design of buildings (NCSE-02) Provisions and requirements specified in these Standards related to structural safety and serviceability, limit state analysis, actions on buildings and earthquake resistant design are included and explained. A collection of practical examples illustrates key points and clarifies the implementation of these Standards to the structural design of buildings All tables needed to follow every step of …
This textbook reviews grammar and vocabulary at an intermediate level, and expands on them to help you to find your way about the English used in the field of computing. The textbook is organized in two sections. The first one consists of a collection of reading texts with a variety of tasks, such as comprehension, vocabulary and translation exercises. Most of the texts have been especially written for language learners, but some authentic texts have also been included. The second part focuses on work on some crucial language topics. Reading tasks provide practice of reading strategies, but also of technical …
Keys to 'An Intermediate Course in English for Computing' provides the answer key to the textbook An Intermediate Course in English for Computing, also published by Editorial Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Ref. 2006914). This booklet is aimed at students using the above mentioned textbook who wish to work on the course material on their own. It may also be used to complement classroom work, assisting students in their private study of some of the activities included in the textbook, in a more autonomous approach to learning. This booklet is organized in two sections. The first one presents the solutions to …
Infrastructures and buildings are built on a material that is heterogeneous in nature and whose properties are imposed by its origin: the ground. Soil or rock, the ground plays an important role in the cost and viability of any infrastructures and buildings during both their construction and their operation. Thus, knowing the ground and properly characterizing it, stands essential. This Book deals with the geotechnical engineering techniques and methods used to carry out a useful and successful study of the ground. Beginning by laying the foundations for a good geotechnical planning, which must be supported on the use of appropriate …
The loads on structures and infrastructures as well as their self-weight are as a set of forces that need to be always transmitted to the ground.This is achieved by means of a foundation,a system composed of a structural transitional element and the support ground, being the latter the component which frequently controls the foundation behavior.
This Book includes a series of recommendations and concepts that can be useful in the phase of finding for a suitable foundation solution, in their pre-design phase and in the own foundation designThe final selection of a foundation and its design will require the use of …
This book presents the contents of an introduction course to Computer Science for engineering disciplines where the engineer makes use of the computer not only as an "office tool" but also as an integral part of his designs. This is the case of the curricula in Industrial Automation, Telecommunication, or Aeronautics, where some engineering designs really consist of embedded systems built around a microcontroller. In all these curricula, the engineer needs a deeper insight on the computer basics that goes beyond the classical introduction to programming, which is considered to be complementary to this book. This book introduces the basics …
This book is aimed at covering the bases on random variables, random vectors and stochastic processes, necessary to be able to address the study of stochastic models based mainly on random and stochastic differential equations. The approach of the text is fundamentally practical. The theoretical results, including demonstrations of a more constructive nature, are combined with numerous examples and exercises chosen with the aim of instructing in fundamental ideas and interpretations. At the end of each chapter two appendices have been included. The first appendix contains a collection of carefully chosen problems for the reader to work on the main …
