Strength of Materials 4th Edition

By  


The popularity of the third edition and reprints of the textbook of Strength of Materials amongst the students and the teachers of the various Universities of the country, has prompted the bringing out of the fourth edition of the book so soon. The fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and brought up-to-date. A large number of problems from different B.E. degree examinations upto 2005 of Indian Universities and other examining bodies, such as Institution of Engineers U.P.S.C. (Engineering Services) and Gate have been selected and have been solved at proper places in this edition in S.I Units.
Three advanced topics of Strength of Materials such as stresses due to rotation in thin and thick cylinders, bending of curved bars and theories of failure of the material have been added. These chapters have been written in such a simple and easy-to-follow language that even an average student can understand easily by self-study. In the chapter of 'Columns and Struts', the advanced articles such as columns with eccentric load, with initial curvature and beam columns have been included. The notations· in this edit~on have been used upto-date by the use of sigma and tau for stresses.

The objective type multiple-choice questions are often asked in the various competitive examinations. Hence a large number of objective type questions with answers have been added in the end of the book. Also a large number of objective type questions which have been asked in most of competitive examinations such as Engineering Services Examination and Gate with answers and explanation have been incprporated in this edition.

Structural Foundation Designers' Manual - W. G. Curtin, Gerry Shaw

By  


This manual for civil and structural engineers aims to simplify as much as possible a complex subject which is often treated too theoretically, by explaining in a practical way how to provide uncomplicated, buildable and economical foundations.

It explains simply, clearly and with numerous worked examples how economic foundation design is achieved. It deals with both straightforward and difficult sites, following the process through site investigation, foundation selection and, finally, design.

The book:

  • includes chapters on many aspects of foundation engineering that most other books avoid including
    • filled and contaminated sites 
    • mining and other man-made conditions
  • features a step-by-step procedure for the design of lightweight and flexible rafts, to fill the gap in guidance in this much neglected, yet extremely economical foundation solution 
  • concentrates on foundations for building structures rather than the larger civil engineering foundations 
  • includes many innovative and economic solutions developed and used by the authors’ practice but not often covered in other publications 
  • provides an extensive series of appendices as a valuable reference source.

Engineering Mechanics STATICS 12 Ed - R.C. Hibbeler

By  


Mechanics is a branch of the physical sciences concerned with the state of rest or motion of bodies that are subjected to the action of forces. The study of mechanics involves many more subject areas. However, initial study is usually split into two areas; statics and dynamics.

Statics is concerned with bodies that are either at rest or move with a constant speed in a fixed direction. Dynamics deals with the accelerated motion of bodies. Statics can therefore be considered as a special case of dynamics where the acceleration is zero. In engineering, since many objects are designed with the intention that they are at rest or their motion remains constant, statics deserves special treatment.

Structural Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings: Steel and Composite Construction, Bungale S. Taranath

By  


As software skills rise to the forefront of design concerns, the art of structural conceptualization is often minimized. Structural engineering, however, requires the marriage of artistic and intuitive designs with mathematical accuracy and detail. Computer analysis works to solidify and extend the creative idea or concept that might have started out as a sketch on the back of an envelope.

From Sketches on the Back of an Envelope to Elegant, Economical Buildings—The Art of Structural Conceptualization

Bridging the gap between the conceptual approach and computer analysis, Structural Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings: Steel and Composite Construction integrates the design aspects of steel and composite buildings in one volume. Using conceptual thinking and basic strength of material concepts as foundations, the book shows engineers how to use imperfect information to estimate the answer to larger and more complex design problems by breaking them down into more manageable pieces.

Trigonometry 7th Ed- R. Larson & R. Hostetler

By  



Welcome to Trigonometry:  Seventh Edition. We are pleased to present this new edition of our textbook in which we focus on making the mathematics accessible, supporting student success, and offering instructors flexible teaching options.

 Accessible to Students 
Over the years we have taken care to write this text with the student in mind. Paying careful attention to the presentation, we use precise mathematical language and a clear writing style to develop an effective learning tool. We believe that every student can learn mathematics, and we are committed to providing a text that makes the mathematics of the trigonometry course accessible to all students. For the Seventh Edition, we have revised and improved many text features designed for this purpose. Throughout the text, we now present solutions to many examples from multiple perspectives—algebraically, graphically, and numerically. The side-by-side format of this pedagogical feature helps students to see that a problem can be solved in more than one way and to see that different methods yield the same result. The side-by-side format also addresses many different learning styles. We have found that many trigonometry students grasp mathematical concepts more easily when they work with them in the context of real-life situations. Students have numerous opportunities to do this throughout the Seventh Edition. The new Make a Decision feature has been added to the text in order to further connect real-life data and applications and motivate students. They also offer students the opportunity to generate and analyze mathematical models from large data sets. To reinforce the concept of functions, each function is introduced at the first point of use in the text with a definition and description of basic characteristics. Also, all elementary functions are presented in a summary on the endpapers of the text for convenient reference. We have carefully written and designed each page to make the book more readable and accessible to students. For example, to avoid unnecessary page turning and disruptions to students’ thought processes, each example and corresponding solution begins and ends on the same page.

Trigonometry, Michael Corral

By  




Trigonometry is the study of the relations between the sides and angles of triangles. The
word “trigonometry” is derived from the Greek words trigono (τρ´ιγωνo), meaning “triangle”,
and metro (µǫτρω´ ), meaning “measure”. Though the ancient Greeks, such as Hipparchus
and Ptolemy, used trigonometry in their study of astronomy between roughly 150 B.C. - A.D.
200, its history is much older. For example, the Egyptian scribe Ahmes recorded some rudimentary
trigonometric calculations (concerning ratios of sides of pyramids) in the famous
Rhind Papyrus sometime around 1650 B.C.
