Basic Structural Engineering Principles
This book seeks to introduce non-engineering construction professionals to the principles of structural design from the initial calculation of loads, to the calculation of the internal actions in members resulting from such loads and finally to a comparison between those internal actions and the member capacities. The design process will be illustrated with reference particularly to timber design but the design of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, steel, brick and glass is also presented in a simplified approach.
Structural Engineering
Written for candidates preparing for the state-specific structural engineering examinations, this volume contains problems and solutions from recent exams. Candidates for the national Structural I and II exams can use this book in conjunction with the UBC-IBC Structural Comparison & Cross Reference found on page 22. The book is a comprehensive guide and reference for self-study.
Essential Architecture and Principles of Systems Engineering
This book is for everyone interested in systems and the modern practice of engineering. The revolution in engineering and systems that has occurred over the past decade has led to an expansive advancement of systems engineering tools and languages. A new age of information-intensive complex systems has arrived with new challenges in a global business market. Science and information technology must now converge into a cohesive multidisciplinary approach to the engineering of systems if products and services are to be useful and competitive. For the non-specialist and even for practicing engineers, the subject of systems engineering remains cloaked in jargon and a sense of mystery. This need not be the case for any reader of this book and for students no matter what their background is. The concepts of architecture and systems engineering put forth are simple and intuitive. Readers and students of engineering will be guided to an understanding of the fundamental principles of architecture and systems and how to put them into engineering practice. This book offers a practical perspective that is reflected in case studies of real-world systems that are motivated by tutorial examples. The book embodies a decade of research and very successful academic instruction to postgraduate students that include practicing engineers. The material has been continuously improved and evolved from its basis in defence and aerospace towards the engineering of commercial systems with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. Most recently, the concepts, processes, and methods in this book have been applied to the commercialisation of wireless charging for electric vehicles. As a postgraduate or professional development course of study, this book will lead you into the modern practice of engineering in the twenty-first century. Much more than a textbook, though, Essential Architecture and Principles of Systems Engineering challenges readers and students alike to think about the world differently while providing them a useful reference book with practical insights for exploiting the power of architecture and systems.
