Applied Statics, Strength of Materials, and Building Structure Design


Book Description

Unique in perspective, approach, and coverage, this book is written specifically to introduce architectural, construction and civil engineering technicians to elementary engineering concepts, design principles, and practices. Using a practical, non-classical, non-calculus approach, it combines -- in one volume -- full coverage of the statics, strengths of materials, and building structure analysis/design concepts that technicians must master for the demands of today's changing workplace. Provides nearly 180 examples and over 200 supporting illustrations and photographs, including photos of buildings under construction and in sequence. Contains a very comprehensive set of tables of structural products and their properties. For anyone studying or interested in architectural technology, architectural engineering technology, structural technology, structural engineering technology, civil engineering technology, construction engineering technology, or construction management.




Applied Strength of Materials


Book Description

Designed for a first course in strength of materials, Applied Strength of Materials has long been the bestseller for Engineering Technology programs because of its comprehensive coverage, and its emphasis on sound fundamentals, applications, and problem-solving techniques. The combination of clear and consistent problem-solving techniques, numerous end-of-chapter problems, and the integration of both analysis and design approaches to strength of materials principles prepares students for subsequent courses and professional practice. The fully updated Sixth Edition. Built around an educational philosophy that stresses active learning, consistent reinforcement of key concepts, and a strong visual component, Applied Strength of Materials, Sixth Edition continues to offer the readers the most thorough and understandable approach to mechanics of materials.




Applied Statics and Strength of Materials


Book Description

APPLIED STATICS AND STRENGTH OF MATERIALS, 2nd Edition provides engineering and construction technology readers with a strategy for successful learning of basic structural behavior and design. The book is written at a fundamental level while providing robust detail on problem-solving methods on a variety of recognizable structures, systems, and machines. Topics covered include easy-to-understand discussion on equilibrium, trusses, frames, centroids, moment of inertia, direct stress, combined stress, beam mechanics, and much more. The book also includes extensive coverage on the design of beams, columns, and connections which include the latest design specifications using steel, concrete, and wood. More than 175 fully worked examples and 500 exercise problems offer thorough and comprehensive reinforcement of the material using recognizable structural and mechanical elements which connect the readers to the real-world.




Statics and Strength of Materials


Book Description

STATICS AND STRENGTH OF MATERIALS, 7/e is fully updated text and presents logically organized, clear coverage of all major topics in statics and strength of materials, including the latest developments in materials technology and manufacturing/construction techniques. A basic knowledge of algebra and trigonometry are the only mathematical skills it requires, although several optional sections using calculus are provided for instructors teaching in ABET accredited programs. A new introductory section on catastrophic failures shows students why these topics are so important, and 25 full-page, real-life application sidebars demonstrate the relevance of theory. To simplify understanding and promote student interest, the book is profusely illustrated.




Statics and Strength of Materials


Book Description

This textbook provides students with a foundation in the general procedures and principles of the mechanical design process. It introduces students to solving force systems, selecting components and determining resultants in equilibrium. Strength failures of various materials will also be presented. In addition, the author has includes information about how to -- analyze and solve problems involving force systems, components, resultants and equilibrium; determine center of gravity and centroids of members and objects; identify moment of inertia of objects; analyze simple structures under linear stress and strain; investigate the effects of torsion on shafts and springs; find the load, stress and deflection on beams; and analyze structures subjected to combined loading.




Statics and Strength of Materials for Architecture and Building Construction


Book Description

For courses in Statics, Strength of Materials, and Structural Principles in Architecture, Construction, and Engineering Technology. Statics and Strength of Materials for Architecture and Building Construction, Fourth Edition, offers students an accessible, visually oriented introduction to structural theory that doesn't rely on calculus. Instead, illustrations and examples of building frameworks and components enable students to better visualize the connection between theoretical concepts and the experiential nature of real buildings and materials. This new edition includes fully worked examples in each chapter, a companion website with extra practice problems, and expanded treatment of load tracing.




Applied Strength of Materials


Book Description

This practical introduction includes all of the coverage of strength topics contained in this larger text. It's a step-by-step presentation that is so well suited to undergraduate engineering technology students. Coverage includes: belt friction, stress concentrations, Mohr's circle of stress, moment-area theorems, centroids by integration, and more.
