The best-selling Reinforced Concrete Design provides a straightforward and practical introduction to the principles and methods used in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. The book contains many worked examples to illustrate the various aspects of design that are presented in the text. The seventh edition of the text has been fully revised and updated to reflect the interpretation and use of Eurocode 2 since its introduction. Students and practitioners, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world where Eurocode 2 has been adopted, will find it a concise guide both to the basic theory and to appropriate design procedures. Design charts, tables and formulae are included as design aids and, for ease of reference, an appendix contains a summary of important design information. Features of the seventh edition are: * Completely revised to reflect recent experience of the usage of Eurocode 2 since its introduction in 2004 and its adoption in the UK as a design standard in 2010 * Further examples of the theory put into practice * A new chapter on water retaining structures in accordance with Eurocode 2, Part 3 * New sections on, for example, design processes including conceptual design, deep beams and an expanded treatment of designing for fire resistance.

Artificial Neural Networks: Understand The Basic Concepts [Size: 285 MB] ... Artificial Intelligence is becoming progressively more relevant in today’s world. The rise of Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology. By using the power of algorithms, you can develop applications which intelligently interact with the world around you, from building intelligent recommender systems to creating self-driving cars, robots and chatbots. Neural networks are a key element of artificial intelligence.

Neural networks are one of the most fascinating machine learning models and are used to solve wide range of problems in different areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Yet too few really understand how neural networks actually work. This course will take you on a fun and unhurried journey, starting from very simple ideas, and gradually building up an understanding of how neural networks work. The purpose of this course is to make neural networks accessible to as many students as possible.

In this course I’m going to explain the key aspects of neural networks and provide you with a foundation to get started with advanced topics. You will build a solid foundation knowledge of how a neural network learns from data, and the principles behind it. You will not only learn how to train neural networks, but will also explore generalization of these networks. Later we will delve into combining different neural network models and work with the real-world use cases. You’ll understand how to solve complex computational problems efficiently.

The best-selling Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis, 5th edition provides the depth of coverage necessary to solve the highway-related problems that are most likely to be encountered in engineering practice. The focus on highway transportation is appropriate in light of the dominance of the highway mode in the U.S. and available employment opportunities. Instructors can be confident their students are learning the fundamentals needed to undertake upper-level transportation courses, enter transportation employment with a basic knowledge of highway and traffic engineering, and answer transportation-related questions on the Fundamentals of Civil Engineering and Professional Engineering exams.The new 5th edition is updated with the most recent Highway Capacity Manual and AASHTO Green book, new homework problems, and the text has been streamlined and enhanced pedagogically with descriptive example names and homework problems organized by text section.

Since the publication of the first edition in 1969, Fundamentals of Rock Mechanics has been widely regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive book in its field. This classic book, unavailable for many years, is now back by popular demand. Extensively revised for this fourth edition, it now contains substantially expanded chapters on poroelasticity, wave propagation, and subsurface stresses, as well as entirely new chapters on rock fractures and micromechanical models of rock behavior. Beginning with a detailed discussion of fundamental concepts such as stress and strain, this classic text offers a thorough introduction to the subject of rock mechanics, before expertly delving into a fundamental, self-contained discussion of specific topics. Unmatched in the breadth of its treatment, the new edition of this highly praised text is an invaluable resource for all geologists, geophysicists, and geotechnical engineers working in the field today.
