The Civil Engineers often need to optimize (either maximize or minimize) the problems at hand. This book provide valuable knowledge on optimization theory and knowledge.
For junior/senior undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in Operations Research in departments of Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, Statistics, Computer Science, and Mathematics. Significantly revised, this text streamlines the coverage of the theory, applications, and computations of operations research. Numerical examples are effectively used to explain complex mathematical concepts. A separate chapter of fully analyzed applications aptly demonstrates the diverse use of OR. The popular commercial and tutorial software AMPL, Excel, Excel Solver, and Tora are used throughout the book to solve practical problems and to test theoretical concepts. New materials include Markov chains, TSP heuristics, new LP models, and a totally new simplex-based approach to LP sensitivity analysis.

In compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation, this certification training is for individuals who will be involved with Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). This training is for individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release.
HAZWOPER Certification is a process where a person obtains the requisite knowledge and skills in order to safely perform work tasks for emergency response operations. A person must have a HAZWOPER certification from the instructor and employer. The best way to obatin this training is to enroll in our training and complete the training online.
I know phpbb has a few mods for this...im sure mybb does to. I couldn't help but feel individuals cherished their memberships even more when we werent handing them out.
Having these hit and run offenders is quite annoying, and i also feel like the MAN is now lurking about now that registration is open again.

his book describes a family of state-of-the-art numerical and semi-analytical techniques for determining stress intensity factors for cracks; the quantities which determine and control the fatigue life of engineering components. Fatigue problems are dominated by behaviour of the crack when it is short, and in the neighbourhood of the source of nucleation, as this is where the majority of the life is used up. A knowledge of crack-tip stress intensity factors in this regime is paramount. The techniques described in this book are very efficient methods of determining stress intensity factors with great

Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids addresses the mechanics and physics of deformable porous materials whose porous space is filled by one or several fluid mixtures interacting with the solid matrix. Coussy uses the language of thermodynamics to frame the discussion of this topic and bridge the gap between physicists and engineers, and organises the material in such a way that individual phases are explored, followed by coupled problems of increasing complexity. This structure allows the reader to build a solid understanding of the physical processes occurring in the fluids and then porous solids
Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids offers a critical reference on the physics of multiphase porous materials - key reading for engineers and researchers in structural and material engineering, concrete, wood and materials science, rock and soil mechanics, mining and oil prospecting, biomechanics.

My name is George, I am an architect from Serbia. When I finished my faculty of architecture, I realized how wrong I was in a choice of my life profession. I should choose civil engineering instead. At the end the civil engineering is real science, real creative force, the architecture is pure bullshit, based on nothing (based on something some people call art). Well enough of these heart breaking stories about my profession, this is what I wanted to ask you:
First of all, this forum is the best Civil Engineering encyclopedia and community on the web. Keep it that way. I am spending all of my free time reading the articles from your forum. Amazingly interesting!
Few months ago, I bought books related to Civil Engineering. Statics and Mechanics (Structural Analysis), Soil Mechanics, Materials in Civil Engineering. And started studying from them. But now, I am especially interested in Space frames, so interested that I am thinking of starting to attend a Civil Engineering faculty from october this year.
I wanted to ask about the Space frame (space trusses, this is what I mean:

It is probably not the best one, maybe not in the first few ranking applications for structural analysis, but it is on serbian language, and it is a lot easier for me to work with it, than with SAP. Although I am going to try to learn using SAP definitively.
Ok, back to the story, for now I know how to make the structural analysis of the space frame truss (I even did a two directions curved roof from space frame truss), involving analysis from the load of the structure itself, temperature changes, and displacement of the backbones (supporters). I have also managed to design the structure further into steel.
So the calculation of these structures is not a great problem to me (at least this is what I think, maybe I am doing something wrong, but nevermind ). The stability and dynamics is something that I do not know nothing about. But I am willing to learn, I am going to boy a book about Dynamics.
The main thing why I am contacting you is like I said: the theoretical part of the methodology for structural analysis of space frame trusses. What are the methods? Are there few of those? What are the equations? Are there some books or e-books about this?
I downloaded the "Structural Engineering Handbook by Wai-Fah Chen" and this book has a section with "Space frame structures by Tien T. Lan". I found a part where he mentions the discrete method, continuum analogy method and matrix methods for the structural analysis. But where are the equations for these methods?
