Download or read book Sensing the City written by Anja Schwanhäußer and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city is more than demography and architecture, it is a state of mind. Various groups, scenes and subcultures, widely known as "man in the street", shape and are shaped by urban space and its history according to imaginations, nightmares and dreams. Urban anthropologists get immersed in this closely knit fabric of urban culture and conduct field research with all their senses. The reader provides a compact introduction into urban anthropology, which has become the key discipline in exploring cities and city live as sites of encounter, conflict and sensation. It introduces the most influential writers in the field as well as young and upcoming field researchers.With essays by PeterJackson, LesBack, RuthBehar, MoritzEge, RolfLindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loic Wacquant.

Download or read book Strutture in acciaio written by Paolo Rugarli and published by EPC srl. This book was released on 2007 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEGGI LA RECENSIONE DEL LIBRO PUBBLICATA SU "COSTRUZIONI METALLICHE" Perché è necessario classificare le sezioni in acciaio? A cosa serve? E soprattutto, come si fa nei casi generali? Ecco un libro che spiega nel dettaglio la classificazione delle sezioni, un aspetto di fondamentale importanza per l'applicazione dell'Eurocodice 3 dedicato alle strutture in acciaio. La classificazione è stata introdotta sia nelle recenti Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni, sia nell'Ordinanza 3274/03 dedicata alle costruzioni in zona sismica. Il testo, che colma un vuoto nel panorama dell'editoria tecnica del settore, offre un quadro completo dell'argomento senza le tipiche semplificazioni riscontrabili nei testi sulle costruzioni in acciaio già disponibili. Nel libro, infatti, non sono considerate soltanto le sollecitazioni semplici, ma anche quelle miste binarie e ternarie (presso e tensoflessione deviata, in generale). Il testo include anche un commento puntuale delle clausole e delle tabelle dell'Eurocodice 3 in merito alla classificazione, discutendone il significato e l'interpretazione, e mettendo così in rilievo alcuni aspetti della scrittura della norma che richiederebbero chiarimenti e modifiche in quanto ne ostacolano la comprensione e l'utilizzo. A questo si aggiungono esempi applicativi, mappe e tabelle relative alla classificazione dei profili IPE, HEA, HEB ed HEM coi materiali più frequenti, e, inoltre, un facile software applicativo che consente di classificare profili a doppio T laminato con qualsiasi materiale soggetto a qualsiasi stato di sforzo pluriassiale o qualsiasi insieme di stati di sforzo pluriassiali. In conclusione: uno strumento unico nel panorama editoriale, indispensabile per chi progetta strutture in acciaio e vuole mantenersi aggiornato con le normative più recenti.

Download or read book Structural Engineering Mechanics and Computation written by A. Zingoni and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-03-16 with total page 1704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from the International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, held in Cape Town in April 2001, this book contains the Proceedings, in two volumes. There are over 170 papers written by Authors from around 40 countries worldwide. The contributions include 6 Keynote Papers and 12 Special Invited Papers. In line with the aims of the SEMC 2001 International Conference, and as may be seen from the List of Contents, the papers cover a wide range of topics under a variety of themes. There is a healthy balance between papers of a theoretical nature, concerned with various aspects of structural mechanics and computational issues, and those of a more practical nature, addressing issues of design, safety and construction. As the contributions in these Proceedings show, new and more efficient methods of structural analysis and numerical computation are being explored all the time, while exciting structural materials such as glass have recently come onto the scene. Research interest in the repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure continues to grow, particularly in Europe and North America, while the challenges to protect human life and property against the effects of fire, earthquakes and other hazards are being addressed through the development of more appropriate design methods for buildings, bridges and other engineering structures.

This book was released on 2020-08-12T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume tratta la progettazione delle strutture in calcestruzzo armato alla luce dell’Eurocodice 2 e tiene conto delle più recenti evoluzioni sia nel campo dei materiali (calcestruzzo e acciaio) sia in quello della modellazione strutturale. Come è noto le Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni (NTC2018) sono fortemente ispirate agli Eurocodici; è perciò stato possibile trattare i vari argomenti tenendo di vista lo sviluppo sia della norma europea, sia della norma italiana. Il testo è corredato da numerosi esempi numerici utili per una corretta applicazione del metodo di verifica della sicurezza agli stati limite. Gli esempi, scelti fra quelli più ricorrenti nella pratica professionale, sono disponibili online e interessano sia il professionista, sia gli studenti di ingegneria e architettura.
Download or read book Far from Equilibrium written by Sanford Kwinter and published by Actarbirkhauser. This book was released on 2007 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far From Equilibrium ponders the complex encounters between technology, culture and architecture, offering an extended meditation on infrastructure, war, computation, the mechanical and material intelligence, and other multivariate facets of modernity. In its intensively affiliative method and far-reaching scope, Far from Equilibrium amounts to a performance in writing of what Kwinter describes (in one of the essays included) as radical anamnesis: the imagination's escape from the sterile logic of what is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume, aggiornato alle NTC2018, tratta ampiamente il materiale acciaio, con cenni alla fabbricazione, agli elementi tipici e alla storia delle costruzioni, per fornire al progettista un quadro che sia d’ausilio per l’utilizzo, per il calcolo e per l’inserimento armonico degli elementi ‘giusti’ in una struttura. L’obiettivo è fornire una visione della struttura che permetta di calarla in uno scenario di cimento di progetto con una previsione del comportamento sotto carico, così da poter intuire come e in che successione si verificheranno le crisi strutturali ancor prima del calcolo numerico. Questo consente di osservare il mutare della struttura, in particolare di quella iperstatica, nel corso delle crisi e di valutare la sicurezza in base al cimento relativo che coinvolge la struttura al crescere delle azioni esterne. L’opera si basa essenzialmente sull’Eurocodice 3 e ogni ambito viene trattato facendo riferimento alla norma europea, ma calandone i contenuti e le indicazioni in un quadro vicino alla letteratura tecnica italiana. Ne deriva una trattazione friendly che consente al progettista di conoscere più rapidamente le impostazioni europee. Segue una sistematica trattazione che corre parallela alle indicazioni delle nuovissime norme tecniche 2018, sia per le strutture in acciaio sia per le specifiche prescrizioni delle strutture metalliche in zona sismica. Il testo, rivolto sia ai progettisti (ingegneri, architetti, geometri) sia a studenti universitari, è corredato di una serie di fogli Excel utili per i calcoli di verifica dei principali elementi strutturali.
