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 …
Commonly accepted, the conventional ionic model has been used for almost one century to describe inorganic solids in terms of cation-centred anionic polyhedrons.
Unfortunately, the model is unable to either describe or understand why inorganic compounds adopt the structures they have.
In this book, the author exposes the limitations of the ionic model and proposes new concepts, like the relation between oxidation and pressure and the extended Zintl-Klemm concept combined with Hoffmann's isolobality concept, hypervalency and the equivalence between electrons pairs and anions,to obtain a much deeper understanding of the structures of inorganic.
The experimental data discussed along the text under the light …
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 …
This book serves as an introduction to solve the most common electrical circuits in domestic and industry premises. It consists of five units: association of passive elements (unit 1); introduction to single-phase and three-phase circuits (units 2 and 3) and electricity distribution circuits, both single-phase and three-phase (units 4 and 5). It also has an annex where some exercises are solved that were proposed in previous units, and a bibliography with two types of references: some basic ones, which are complementary to this text, and other more advanced ones for interested readers. The approach followed in this text is essentially …
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 …
The pragmatics of language teaching is dramatically changing getting adapted to the new language learning requirements based on acquiring the four language skills through key competencies development. Technical Focus is a distinctive practical ten-unit English dossier for adults which provides a comprehensive preparation program for B2 level, reflecting the new global language learning tendencies through motivating lessons. The dossier provides learners with professional and academic skills needed for success in the academic and professional life. The perfect balance of grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary builds confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing using thought-provoking and purposeful approach to learning English through …
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 …
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 …
