Download or read book Strutture in cemento armato in zona sismica Guida a una progettazione consapevole e controllata written by Vincenzo Nunziata and published by Dario Flaccovio Editore. This book was released on 2021-07-21T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il libro tratta la progettazione di edifici in cemento armato in zona sismica secondo una procedura elaborata dall’Autore e già utilizzata per edifici in acciaio denominata strength ductility design. Il metodo dello strength ductility design, sebbene faccia ricorso nell’analisi teorica alla sola resistenza, tiene conto anche della duttilità a livello deduttivo, secondo una progettazione consapevole e controllata delle strutture che segue varie fasi e non solo la modellazione strutturale, che riguardano anche la progettazione a regola d’arte, le prescrizioni costruttive e il controllo di esecuzione, e che conducono alla definizione di tre classi di rischio sismico per gli edifici (CRS/A-CRS/2A-CRS/3A) maggiormente performanti rispetto all’attuale normativa dal punto di vista antisismico. L’intento, come per le strutture in acciaio, è quello di indicare al lettore una regola di progettazione che conduca alla progettazione esecutiva di un edificio in c.a. in zona sismica maggiormente performante rispetto a quanto previsto dalle NTC 2018, e quindi in grado di far fronte a terremoti di intensità superiore a parità di condizioni iniziali. Al fine di rendere maggiormente consapevole il lettore dei principi e procedure esposte ma anche per offrire un esempio da seguire nella progettazione reale, è stato elaborato un progetto esecutivo di un edificio in c.a. per civile abitazione. Le 12 tavole di dettaglio contenenti l’intero progetto sono riportate nel volume e scaricabili seguendo le indicazioni presenti nell’ultima voce dell’indice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When sixteen-year-old Amy wakes up in a hospital bed, terribly injured from a dive onto hidden rocks in a quarry, her shattered body is not the worst of her troubles. The worst of it is the fact that the body is not her own. An over-achiever from a wealthy Toronto family, Amy has somehow ended up in the body of Krystal, a troubled girl from North-End Kingston. No one, of course, believes what Amy says. Amy's drive and determination help her to build a new life, but all she really wants is to find her way back to the life she once had. Or does she? Amy by Any Other Name is a story about what makes us who were are-and about the human capacity to grow and change.
Download or read book Bullied written by Jeff Erno and published by Harmony Ink Press. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, all over the country, teenagers struggle with the realities of bullying. Tormented, ridiculed, and beaten—simply for being who they are—these teens face alienation, humiliation, and even the explicit assertion that they have somehow brought this upon themselves, that they should just blend in. Bullied is a series of short stories exploring the world of these teens from several different viewpoints: the victim, the bully, the gay bystander, the straight friend, the concerned parent. Closeted Bryan wonders why Christian Michaelson doesn't just try to blend in if he hates being bullied so much. Star athlete David isn't a homophobe—after all, he's not afraid of anything. Jonathan, a Christian fundamentalist, must weigh the Bible against peer pressure and what he knows is right when he discovers his childhood friend is gay. Bully victim Chase Devereaux finds an unexpected ally in a brave fellow student. A single mom struggles to accept the reality that her only son is gay. Two tough gay teens are forced to confront their own inner demons when tragedy befalls a classmate they failed to help. And overweight Kirby finds the strength of character to make a friend, which leads to a lifestyle change and a chance at love. Each character grows as an individual as he or she comes to terms with what it means to be a gay teenager in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cemento armato precompresso di Carlo Sigmund illustra i principi, le regole costruttive e le procedure di calcolo secondo le attuali norme europee per il progetto e la verifica di elementi strutturali prefabbricati in cemento armato precompresso. In particolare, si è fatto riferimento agli Eurocodici (essenzialmente EN 1992-1-1:2023, EN 1992-2:2005) e alle NTC 2018. Il testo propone una panoramica sulla teoria del cemento armato precompresso, le formulazioni di calcolo e verifica e le problematiche di predimensionamento e progetto di sezioni in cemento armato precompresso; l’ultima parte è relativa alle cadute di tensione nel cemento armato precompresso (c.a.p.) e agli acciai destinati alla precompressione. I numerosi esempi svolti aiutano a effettuare uno spedito predimensionamento e agevolano il cross check per una valutazione complessiva dell’affidabilità di eventuali risultati ottenuti mediante software di calcolo. L'e-book è di sicuro interesse per i professionisti che svolgono la propria attività nel campo della progettazione o costruzione di edifici, nonché a coloro che sono interessati all’analisi e relativa applicazione delle normative degli Eurocodici strutturali inerenti al cemento armato precompresso.

The second book in the trilogy that begins with Oedipus Rex and concludes with Antigone, Oedipus at Colonus is the story of an aged and blinded Oedipus anticipating his death as foretold by an earlier prophecy. Accompanied by his daughters, Antigone and Ismene, he takes up residence in the village of Colonus near Athens—where the locals fear his very presence will curse them. Nonetheless they allow him to stay, and Ismene informs him his sons are battling each other for the throne of Thebes. An oracle has pronounced that the location of their disgraced father’s final resting place will determine which of them is to prevail. Unfortunately, an old enemy has his own plans for the burial, in this heart-wrenching play about two generations plagued by misfortune from the world’s great ancient Greek tragedian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume, conforme agli Eurocodici e alle nuove NTC2018, tratta ampiamente la costruzione di edifici in zona sismica, fornendo regole e consigli per un approccio nuovo, consapevole e fermamente basato sui principi della moderna ingegneria antisismica. L'obiettivo è presentare una filosofia che consenta al progettista di prevedere in fase di progettazione il comportamento di una struttura durante un sisma per salvaguardare tanto la costruzione quanto le vite delle persone al suo interno. Fondamentale è il capacity design: la costruzione deve presentare opportune capacità di resistenza e distorsione, calibrate in modo che al crescere dell'azione sismica entrino in crisi prima le zone duttili e poi via via le zone più fragili, secondo la gerarchia delle resistenze. Alcune semplici indicazioni e le analisi delle catene tese e compresse interne alla struttura guidano la comprensione di quanto accade in occasione di un sisma. Segue una sistematica trattazione che corre parallela alle indicazioni delle nuovissime norme tecniche NTC2018, opportunamente commentate. Il testo, rivolto sia ai progettisti (ingegneri e architetti) sia a studenti universitari, è corredato da una serie di file Excel, disponibili su www.hoeplieditore.it/8271-1, che contengono utili indicazioni di calcolo.

Download or read book White Teeth written by Zadie Smith and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2003-05-20 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The blockbuster debut novel from "a preternaturally gifted" writer (The New York Times) and author of On Beauty and Swing Time—set against London's racial and cultural tapestry, reveling in the ecstatic hodgepodge of modern life, flirting with disaster, and embracing the comedy of daily existence. Zadie Smith’s dazzling debut caught critics grasping for comparisons and deciding on everyone from Charles Dickens to Salman Rushdie to John Irving and Martin Amis. But the truth is that Zadie Smith’s voice is remarkably, fluently, and altogether wonderfully her own. At the center of this invigorating novel are two unlikely friends, Archie Jones and Samad Iqbal. Hapless veterans of World War II, Archie and Samad and their families become agents of England’s irrevocable transformation. A second marriage to Clara Bowden, a beautiful, albeit tooth-challenged, Jamaican half his age, quite literally gives Archie a second lease on life, and produces Irie, a knowing child whose personality doesn’t quite match her name (Jamaican for “no problem”). Samad’s late-in-life arranged marriage (he had to wait for his bride to be born), produces twin sons whose separate paths confound Iqbal’s every effort to direct them, and a renewed, if selective, submission to his Islamic faith. “[White Teeth] is, like the London it portrays, a restless hybrid of voices, tones, and textures…with a raucous energy and confidence.” —The New York Times Book Review
