Applied Statics and Strengths of Materials helps you master the basic principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials, so you can solve real-world problems. Using intermediate math rather than calculus, the text gives you the background in mechanics needed in civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial and manufacturing technologies fields. To reinforce concepts, rigorous example problems follow explanations of theory and end-of-chapter problems provide ample practice.

The 7th Edition has been completely updated and revised to meet current industry standards.

Written for beginners and advanced users alike, Principles of Structural Analysis – Static and Dynamic Loads is part of a three volume series featuring Bentley's STAAD.Pro software. The series is not a how-to manual, but an illustration of the governing principles of engineering the software abides by, and the application of those principles within STAAD.Pro. Author Krishnan Sathia, a Bentley technical support analyst, utilizes his years of experience to fill the gap that exists between the engineering concepts taught in schools and universities, and the application of those concepts on real-world problems. By connecting theory to practice, the material in this series of books will remain relevant long after today's software has been updated.

Static and Dynamic Loads guides readers through the identification of primary load types in STAAD.Pro and their effects on a structure. This is followed by the principles involved in the generation of loads such as wind, snow, and seismic forces through the software environment and how those loads can be combined and re-used for various purposes. The last part of the book deals with determining the dynamic properties of structures and analyzing them for dynamic loads through response spectrum and time history loading. Filled with in-depth knowledge of structural analysis, high-quality illustrations and models, and applications through real-world problems, Principles of Structural Analysis – Static and Dynamic Loads is a must read for students, practicing professionals, and educators around the world.

Craig’s Soil Mechanics continues to evolve and remain the definitive text for civil engineering students worldwide. It covers fundamental soil mechanics and its application in applied geotechnical engineering from A to Z and at the right depth for an undergraduate civil engineer, with sufficient extension material for supporting MSc level courses, and with practical examples and digital tools to make it a useful reference work for practising engineers.

This new edition now includes: Restructured chapters on foundations and earthworks, the latter including new material on working platforms and collapse of underground cavities (sinkhole formation). + New mobilised-stress-based deformation methods that can straightforwardly be used with both linear and non-linear soil stiffness models and field measurements of shear wave velocity, for serviceability limit state design. + Extended sets of correlations for making sensible first estimates of soil parameters, adding deformation-based parameters for broader coverage than the Eighth Edition. + Extended section on robust statistical selection of characteristic soil parameters. + Greater use of consolidation theory throughout in determining whether actions, processes and laboratory/in-situ tests are drained or undrained. + Extended chapter on in-situ testing, adding the Flat Dilatometer Test (DMT), and interpretation of consolidation parameters from CPTU and DMT testing. + An updated section on pile load testing. + Additional worked examples and end-of-chapter problems covering new material, with fully worked solutions for lecturers.

The electronic resources on the book’s companion website are developed further, with the addition of two new spreadsheet numerical analysis tools and improvement of existing tools from the Eighth Edition. Using these, readers can take real soil test data, interpret its mechanical properties and apply these to a range of common geotechnical design problems at ultimate and serviceability limiting states.

Oasys Slope v21.0.54.10 [Size: 73.5 MB] ... Oasys Slope is a tool for civil and geotechnical engineers which provides an easy and accurate way to study a slip surface, finding factors of safety against failure, and to check suggested improvements from reinforcement. Slope is a core component of our Ground Movement Bundle and Geotechnical Suite, both in Pro and Basic versions. Oasys Slope empowers civil and geotechnical engineers to study and check their projects involving slope stability analyses, a key part of linear infrastructure design involving cuttings for permanent works, for example.

Machine learning is mostly sought in the research field and has become an integral part of many research projects nowadays including commercial applications, as well as academic research. Application of machine learning ranges from finding friends on social networking sites to medical diagnosis and even satellite processing. In this book, we have made an honest effort to make the concepts of machine learning easy and give basic programs in MATLAB right from the installation part. Although the real-time application of machine learning is endless, however, the basic concepts and algorithms are discussed using MATLAB language so that not only graduation students but also researchers are benefitted from it.

What you will learn: Pre-requisites to machine learning + Finding natural patterns in data + Building classification methods + Data pre-processing in Python + Building regression models + Creating neural networks + Deep learning.

Who This Book is for: The book is basically meant for graduate and research students who find the algorithms of machine learning difficult to implement. We have touched all basic algorithms of machine learning in detail with a practical approach. Primarily, beginners will find this book more effective as the chapters are subdivided in a manner that they find the building and implementation of algorithms in MATLAB interesting and easy at the same time.

The gold standard text for helping students visualize and understand geologic processes makes hands-on and real-world exploration easier and more impactful than ever, in any course setting. New 3D specimen and digital elevation models, with corresponding Smartwork exercises, allow students to examine specimens and sites as if they were in the field or lab. And new highly visual “Practice What You Know” and “What Can You See?” activities at the end of each chapter and in Smartwork help students synthesize and apply important concepts like a geologist. Thoroughly updated with current events and essential data, the Seventh Edition also reveals the dynamism of geology and how it impacts our lives

Reinforced Concrete Design (RC) is performed mostly by the limit state method throughout the world. This book covers the fundamental concepts and principles of RC design developing the topics from the basic theories and assumptions. Building upon the possible revisions to the mother code of concrete in India, IS:456-2000, it explains the RC design provisions of IRC:112-2020, which are in line with international standards. In addition to strength design, serviceability and ductility design are also covered.

Features: Highlights the basic philosophy of RC design and behaviour of the sections up to and beyond limit state. + Clarifies limit state theory from the basic assumptions provided in relevant Indian and international standards, IS:456, IRC:112 and Eurocode:2. + Includes design aids or tools for standard and high strength concrete up to M90 grade as per different codes of practice. + Explains the concept of ductility of reinforced concrete sections subjected to flexure with or without axial loads from fundamental principles. + Covers fundamentals on serviceability requirements in reinforced concrete structures. + Illustrates the design methodology of shear walls and includes design aids developed using basic principles as per relevant codes of practice. + Explains reinforced concrete design provisions as per latest national and international standards and these are expected to be in line with those to be included in the forthcoming revision of IS:456. This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and professionals in civil engineering, construction engineering and concrete.
