Abstract

Depuis le simple nid d'une hirondelle jusqu'à la halle d'un marché couvert, les objets qui nous entourent ne cessent de nous interroger sur les liens étroits et parfois mystérieux qui unissent formes, forces et matières. Mais la science des structures, indispensable à l'architecte qui les dessine tout comme à l'amateur qui cherche à les comprendre, peut s'avérer d'un abord intimidant. Ne requérant aucune connaissance préalable outre les quatre opérations mathématiques de base, cet ouvrage vise justement à instruire n'importe quel lecteur sur les principes simples qui sous-tendent les structures les plus complexes. Écrit sur le mode d'un dialogue entre un jeune élève et son maître, il introduit pas à pas aux notions fondamentales de l'art de bâtir : qu'est-ce qu'une force? Comment les charges se répartissent dans les éléments d'une structure? À quelles conditions celle-ci est-elle à l'équilibre? Jusqu'à quel point la matière résiste-t-elle aux efforts ? Qu'est-ce qu'un arc, une voûte, un porte-à-faux ou une membrane sous-tendue? Tous ces sujets sont traités à partir d'exemples précis, anciens ou contemporains, monumentaux ou ordinaires et sont accompagnés d'une riche iconographie. Chaque chapitre se termine par une fiche synthétique et une application pratique. Car il n'y a qu'un pas entre comprendre les structures et imaginer de nouvelles architectures.

Abstract

"Experimental Vibration Analysis for Civil Structures: Testing, Sensing, Monitoring, and Control covers a wide range of topics in the areas of vibration testing, instrumentation, and analysis of civil engineering and critical infrastructure. It explains how recent research, development, and applications in experimental vibration analysis of civil engineering structures have progressed significantly due to advancements in the fields of sensor and testing technologies, instrumentation, data acquisition systems, computer technology, computational modeling and simulation of large and complex civil infrastructure systems. The book also examines how cutting-edge artificial intelligence and data analytics can be applied to infrastructure systems. Features: Explains how recent technological developments have resulted in addressing the challenge of designing more resilient infrastructure ; Examines numerous research studies conducted by leading scholars in the field of infrastructure systems and civil engineering ; Presents the most emergent fields of civil engineering design, such as data analytics and Artificial Intelligence for the analysis and performance assessment of infrastructure systems and their resilience ; Emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to develop the modeling, analysis, and experimental tools for designing more resilient and intelligent infrastructures. Appropriate for practicing engineers and upper-level students, Experimental Vibration Analysis for Civil Structures: Testing, Sensing, Monitoring, and Control serves as a strategic roadmap for further research in the field of vibration testing and instrumentation of infrastructure systems."

Abstract

Explores the nature of relaxation phenomena in polymers on the basis of time-temperature equivalence. Its role in the physical and mechanical behavior of polymers materials and fundamentals of thermoplastics processing are discussed. Four appendixes detail thermo-mechanical methods to study relaxation in polymers, structure of both amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers, and unified approach to describe deformation of polymeric materials.

Abstract

Earth, in common use for architectural construction for thousands of years, has in the past thirty years attracted renewed attention as a healthy, environment-friendly and economical building material. What needs to be considered in this context? The manual Building with Earth, which has been translated into many languages, describes the building technology of this material. The physical properties and characteristic values are explained in a hands-on manner: With proper moisture protection, earth buildings are very durable, and in particular the combination with wood or straw allows a wide spectrum of design options. Numerous built examples demonstrate the range of applications for this fully recyclable material. Fourth and revised edition of the standard work of reference on rammed earth construction. With ten new attractive international case studiesMany drawings illustrate various construction methods

Abstract

"Study of statics and mechanics of materials is based on the understanding of a few basic concepts and on the use of simplified models. This approach makes it possible to develop all the necessary formulas in a rational and logical manner, and to clearly indicate the conditions under which they can be safely applied to the analysis and design of actual engineering structures and machine components"--
