The book is presented in three parts. The first section discusses the physics, chemistry, and internal structure of materials. The second part examines the mechanical properties of materials and their application in engineering situations. The final section presents the electromagnetic properties of materials and their application. Each chapter begins with an outline of the relevance of its topics and ends with problems that require an understanding of the theory and some reasoning ability to resolve. These are followed by self-assessment questions, which test students' understanding of the principles of materials science and are designed to quickly cover the subject area of the chapter.

Probability and Statistics for Engineers, 5th edition
Author: Richard L. Scheaffer, Madhuri Mulekar, James T. McClave | Size: 13.2 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Brooks/Cole CengageLearning | Year: 2010 | pages: 818 | ISBN: 0534403026
PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERS provides a one-semester, calculus-based introduction to engineering statistics that focuses on making intelligent sense of real engineering data and interpreting results. Traditional topics are presented thorough an accessible modern framework that emphasizes the statistical thinking, data collection and analysis, decision-making, and process improvement skills that engineers need on a daily basis to solve real problems. The text continues to be driven by its hallmark array of engineering applications--thoroughly expanded and modernized for the 5th edition--which tackle timely, interesting, and illuminating scenarios that show students the rich context behind the concepts. Within the presentation of topics and applications the authors continually develop students' intuition for collecting their own real data, analyzing it with the latest graphical tools, and interpreting the results with a goal of improving quality control and problem-solving process. Students will not only gain solid understanding of concepts and their real-life practicality, but will learn to become active statistical practitioners for their own future careers.

Product Description
Here, in one volume, is all the architect needs to know to participate in the entire process of designing structures. Emphasizing bestselling author Edward Allen's graphical approach, the book enables you to quickly determine the desired form of a building or other structure and easily design it without the need for complex mathematics. This unique text teaches the whole process of structural design for architects, including selection of suitable materials, finding a suitable configuration, finding forces and size members, designing appropriate connections, and proposing a feasible method of erection. Chapters are centered on the design of a whole structure, from conception through construction planning.
From the Back Cover
FINDING GOOD FORMS FOR STRUCTURES--A GRAPHICA APPROACH
In Form and Forces, bestselling authors Edward Allen and Waclaw Zalewski offer a fresh, new approach to the study of structures for students and practitioners of architecture and structural engineering. Emphasizing graphics rather than mathematics and rote learning, Form and Forces teaches statics and strength of materials in the context of a set of projects that involve students in the entire process of designing elegant, long-span structures, from concept generation to detailing and planning for construction.
Readers engage in such projects as a hanging roof for a transportation terminal, a concrete shell roof for a basketball arena, a wood truss roof for a summer camp activities building, cantilevered concrete shells to cover a stadium grandstand, and other fascinating, real-world designs. As they pursue these projects, students learn each fundamental structural design technique as it is needed, in the context in which it is useful, making it easy to remember and employ the principles discussed, including:
Statics
Bending and buckling behavior
Finding form and forces for long-span structures
Beam and column formulas
The choice and layout of framing systems
Supplemented by a companion Web site with step-by-step graphic statics tutorials, interactive learning tools, and a special-purpose graphic statics solver program, Form and Forces allows every architect and engineer to employ the almost magical power of graphical techniques for generating good form.
Form and Forces equips the reader with simple, powerful tools employed by the great structural designers of the past 150 years—from Eiffel, Gaudí, and Maillart, to Schlaich and Calatrava—so that even beginners can design entire structures that are elegant and exciting.

THE EXTENSION OF THE N2 METHOD TO ASYMMETRIC BUILDINGS
Author: Peter FAJFAR, Damjan MARUŠIĆ, Iztok PERUŠ | Size: 352 KB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Proceedings of the 4-th European Workshop on the Seismic Behaviour of Irregular and Complex Structures | Year: 2005 | pages: 16
ABSTRACT
The paper deals with the extension of the N2 method to asymmetric building structures, represented by a 3D structural model. The results of recent parametric studies suggest that in the majority of cases an upper limit for torsional effects can be estimated by a linear dynamic (spectral) analysis. Based on this observation, it is proposed that the results obtained by pushover analysis of a 3D structural model be combined with the results of a linear dynamic (spectral) analysis. The former results control the target displacements and the distribution of deformations along the height of the building, whereas the latter results define the torsional amplifications. In the paper, first the theoretical background of the transformation of a 3D MDOF model to an equivalent SDOF model is given. Then, the proposed extended N2 method is summarized and applied to a test example of an asymmetric three- storey reinforced concrete frame (“SPEAR”) building. The results are compared with results of nonlinear dynamic time-history analyses.

Pushover procedure for seismic analysis of buiIdings
Author: W K Tso and AS Moghadam | Size: 708 KB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials | Year: 1998 | pages: 8
Summary
This article is a state-of-the-art review of the simplified inelastic analytical procedure commonly referred to as the ‘pushover analysis’ to estimate the seismic response of buildings. The basic steps of a pushover analysis are outlined. The choices available to users in each step are discussed and past studies involving the pushover procedure are briefly reviewed. Finally, the accuracy of the method compared to inelastic dynamic analysis is presented using examples.

A modal pushover analysis procedure to estimate seismic demands for unsymmetric-plan buildings
Author: Anil K. Chopra and Rakesh K. Goel | Size: 576 KB | Format:PDF | Publisher: EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING AND STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS | Year: 2004 | pages: 25
SUMMARY
Based on structural dynamics theory, the modal pushover analysis (MPA) procedure retains the conceptual simplicity of current procedures with invariant force distribution, now common in structural engineering practice. The MPA procedure for estimating seismic demands is extended to unsymmetric-plan buildings. In the MPA procedure, the seismic demand due to individual terms in the modal expansion of the effective earthquake forces is determined by non-linear static analysis using the inertia force distribution for each mode, which for unsymmetric buildings includes two lateral forces and torque at each floor level. These ‘modal’ demands due to the first few terms of the modal expansion are then combined by the CQC rule to obtain an estimate of the total seismic demand for inelastic systems. When applied to elastic systems, the MPA procedure is equivalent to standard response spectrum analysis (RSA). The MPA estimates of seismic demand for torsionally-stiff and torsionally-flexible unsymmetric systems are shown to be similarly accurate as they are for the symmetric building; however, the results deteriorate for a torsionally-similarly-stiff unsymmetric-plan system and the ground motion considered because (a) elastic modes are strongly coupled, and (b) roof displacement is underestimated by the CQC modal combination rule (which would also limit accuracy of RSA for linearly elastic systems).
KEY WORDS: modal pushover analysis; unsymmetric-plan building; seismic demands
