Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction
Author: William D. Callister, David G. Rethwisch | Size: 32.37 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2010 | pages: 1000 | ISBN: 9780470419977
Summary
Building on the success of previous editions, this book continues to provide engineers with a strong understanding of the three primary types of materials and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. The relationships among processing, structure, properties, and performance components for steels, glass-ceramics, polymer fibers, and silicon semiconductors are explored throughout the chapters. The discussion of the construction of crystallographic directions in hexagonal unit cells is expanded. At the end of each chapter, engineers will also find revised summaries and new equation summaries to reexamine key concepts.

Accessing AutoCAD Architecture 2011 uses real-world application of AutoCAD Architecture to familiarize users with tools of the software. Step-by-step tutorials and projects throughout the text clearly demonstrate and reinforce the use of applications that involve the creation of floor plans, foundation plans, elevations, sections, details, and presentation drawings for a two-story residence, including a basement along with the development of roof dormers and custom applications of roof slabs and slabs. Each tool is introduced and matched with a thorough explanation of the options of the command and how it is implemented in the development of drawings. Updated to the new AutoCAD 2011 user interface and Vista, with command access tables for each new command that describes how to access the command from the menu bar, command line, tool palette and shortcut menu. Additional tutorials provide techniques for creating architectural and structural drawings for commercial buildings. The book examines the use of the Detail Component Manager and the keynoting of details as well as the newest features of annotation, wall endcaps, project tool palettes, spaces and project enhancements. The new edition also includes metric and imperial tutorials with applications of space planning and mass modeling tools for residential and commercial buildings. Effective techniques and tips for using the tool palettes, display representation, Content Browser and the Project Navigator show how to increase drawing productivity. Bonus independent projects at the end of each chapter provide additional hands-on practice opportunities that build skills and confidence in users.

The world’s longest cross sea bridge has been revealed by China, proving once again how technology and economics are the strongest points of its economy. According to the Telegraph, the Qingdao Haiwan Bridge measures 26.4 miles (42.6 km) and links Qingdao city in China’s eastern Shandong province with the Huangdao district. Having an amazing architectural importance, the Qingdao Haiwan Bridge helps cut the distance between the two points by 30 km, a life saver in such a busy society like China’s, not to mention the touristic attraction. The 6 lane bridge is almost three miles longer than the previous record holder, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana. The major infrastructure project consisted of four years of labour and US$ 8.6 billion spent. The money went into 450,000 tons of steel, capable of withstanding a magnitude 8.0 earthquake. Built in the Jiaozhou river delta, the freshly finished remarkable structure is supposed to hold the record for only a few years, because the officials already announced they started working on another bridge, that links southern province of Guangdong with Hong Kong and Macau.
Hey all,
I was hoping someone would have info for general calculations for SCL design (lining thickness etc) or books that would have some examples etc on this system.
Thank you

This manual provides a description of basic track infrastructure and it components as a beginner’s guide to railway track. It also provides some explanation of basic maintenance and renewal techniques

This vertical structure will be placed in Cotonduba Island . It will be both a observation Tower , and a welcome sign for the visitors arriving by air and by sea at Rio de Janeiro , where the Olympic Games 2016 will take place. The project is from Zurique, and utilizes solar energy during the day with its solo power panels, to pump the sea water as seen in the model. The movement of the water will be also utilized to turn the turbines
and produce the power to work the system at night time.
In the Solo City Tower is the Cafe anfiteatre, auditórium, shops etc. Elevators will take the visitors to the top where the view will be fantastic, and bungee jumping will have a special platform.
Brazilian Moderator Note:
Instead of it's a wonderful project, it's only a speculation (unfortunately!).
The final design was not defined yet!
