ANALYTICAL MODELLING OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
an entirely new approach with emphasis on the behaviour of building structures lAIN A. MACLEOD, Professor of Structural Engineering, University of Strathclyde
This book presents a new approach to what it is necessary to know about structural analysis. In the past the problem of obtaining solutions to mathematical models was a major obstacle and when doing hand analysis it was necessary to fully understand all the steps in the processing ofthe solution. Now the processing is done with ease on computers and the problem area has shifted to such questions as 'What element and what element mesh should I use?', 'How can I better understand how a structure behaves?' and 'How do I validate the computer results that have been produced?'. Teaching of structural analysis has been slow to react to this change in emphasis and this book is probably the first of a new genre of texts on the subject.
It considers material and element models, highlighting the validity of assumptions, and presents a discussion of structural system models that will help designers to create good finite element models of structural systems and to test the validity of the solutions obtained.

The primary object of arithmetic is to enable the student to acquire skill in computation. In addition to the attainment of this essential end, great benefit is derived from the exercise of the reasoning powers and their consequent development.

In preparing this book, the author had especially in mind classes in the upper grades of grammar schools, though the work will be found equally well adapted to the needs of any classes of beginners. It is expected that this work will result in a knowledge of general truths about numbers, and an increased power of clear thinking.

The main purpose of the volume is an exposition of the principal methods of determining latitude, azimuth, and time. Generally speaking, the limit of precision is that corresponding to the engineer's transit or the sextant.

Plank-And-Beam Framing for Residential Buildings
Size: 1.8 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: American Wood Council | Year: 2003 | pages: 40
The plank-and-beam method for framing floors and roofs has been used in heavy timber buildings for many years. The adaptation of this system to residential construction has raised many technical questions from designers and builders concerning the details of application. This publication presents technical data that will be helpful to students, architects, engineers and builders. It contains information pertaining to principles of design, advantages and limitations, construction details, and structural requirements for the plank-and-beam method of framing, including span and load tables.

An insufficient amount of measured data is available on actual indoor humidity levels in U.S. households, making it difficult to design durable homes. This research project has collected 1 full year of indoor temperature and humidity data for a sample of 60 homes across three different climate regions—the hot and humid Southeast (Zone 2), the cold Northeast (Zone 5), and the marine Northwest (Zone 4).
