Pearson Education (US) Structural Analysis
Book SynopsisAbout our author For over 20 years, Dr. James Hanson has blended his two greatest passions: engineering and teaching. His undergraduate and graduate degrees come from Cornell University where his engineering and teaching skills started developing. He further developed those skills as a structural engineer for a large chemical company and as an engineer officer in the US Army. As a result, he is a licensed professional engineer in New York and Indiana. Now he is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology which means he gets to focus on developing pedagogies and testing their effectiveness. His specialty is speeding up the novice-to-expert transition in the area of evaluating the reasonableness of analysis and design results. Jim's passion for blending engineering and teaching have led to awards from the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Society of Civil Engineers and the AmerTable of ContentsTable of Contents Loads and Structure Idealization 1.1 Loads 1.2 Load Combinations 1.3 Structure Idealization 1.4 Application of Gravity Loads 1.5 Application of Lateral Loads 1.6 Distribution of Lateral Loads by Flexible Diaphragm Predicting Results 2.1 Qualitative Truss Analysis 2.2 Principle of Superposition 2.3 Principle of Superposition 2.4 Approximating Loading Conditions Cables and Arches 3.1 Cables with Point Loads 3.2 Cables with Uniform Loads 3.3 Arches Internal Force Diagrams 4.1 Internal Forces by Integration 4.2 Constructing Diagrams by Deduction 4.3 Diagrams for Frames Deformations 5.1 Double Integration Method 5.2 Conjugate Beam Method 5.3 Virtual Work Method Influence Lines 6.1 Table-of-Points Method 6.2 Müller-Breslau Method 6.3 Using Influence Lines Introduction to Computer Aided Analysis 7.1 Why Computer Results are Always Wrong 7.2 Checking Fundamental Principles 7.3 Checking Features of the Solution Approximate Analysis of Indeterminate Trusses and Braced Frames 8.1 Indeterminate Trusses 8.2 Braced Frames with Lateral Loads 8.3 Braced Frames with Gravity Loads Approximate Analysis of Rigid Frames 9.1 Gravity Load Method 9.2 Portal Method for Lateral Loads 9.3 Cantilever Method for Lateral Loads 9.4 Combined Gravity and Lateral Loads Approximate Lateral Displacements 10.1 Braced Frames — Story Drift Method 10.2 Braced Frames — Virtual Work Method 10.3 Rigid Frames — Stiff Beam Method 10.4 Rigid Frames — Virtual Work Method 10.5 Solid Walls — Single Story 10.6 Solid Walls — Multistory Diaphragms 11.1 Distribution of Lateral Loads by Rigid Diaphragm 11.2 In Plane Shear: Collector Beams 11.3 In Plane Moment: Diaphragm Chords Force Method 12.1 One Degree Indeterminate Beams 12.2 Multi-Degree Indeterminate Beams 12.3 Indeterminate Trusses Moment Distribution Method 13.1 Overview of Method 13.2 Fixed End Moments and Distribution Factors 13.3 Beams and Sidesway Inhibited Frames 13.4 Sidesway Frames Direct Stiffness Method for Trusses 14.1 Overview of Method 14.2 Transformation and Element Stiffness Matrices 14.3 Compiling the System of Equations 14.4 Finding Deformations, Reactions and Internal Forces 14.5 Additional Loadings Direct Stiffness Method for Frames 15.1 Element Stiffness Matrix 15.2 Transformation Matrix 15.3 Global Stiffness Matrix 15.4 Loads Between Nodes 15.5 Direct Stiffness Method 15.6 Internal Forces

Columbia University Press Ethics in Action for Sustainable Development
Book SynopsisThis book presents an in-depth and deeply engaged conversation among interfaith religious leaders and interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners in pursuit of an ethical consensus that could ground sustainable development efforts.Trade ReviewIn Ethics in Action for Sustainable Development, religious leaders of many faiths and scholars of many disciplines address the ethics of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Their message is timely and hopeful: the world’s great religious and ethical traditions share the common commitment to end poverty, assure social justice, and achieve environmental sustainability. The world can indeed come together to build the Future We Want. -- Ban Ki-moon, former secretary-general of the United NationsI came away from this book with a lot of new information and ideas but also a sense of relief: maybe it isn't too late; maybe humanity and much of the other life on the planet is not irrevocably lost and without hope. Ethics in Action for Sustainable Development brings together a broad coalition of authors from disparate disciplines and shows how all of their work is connected to the pressing need to address environmental degradation. -- Philip J.

CRC Press Guide to Highway Law for Architects Engineers
Book SynopsisFirst Published in 2004. As a consequence of so much construction work being carried out on or near highways, contractors ignore at the peril the law of highways and the influence it has, or should have, on their working methods and practices.
