This book offers a unique overview of wood as the main construction material for residential buildings worldwide, and introduces architects, interior designers, and builders to the diversity of contemporary timber architecture.

Dit boek behandelt het berekenen van de stabiliteit van staven in staalconstructies belast op druk, op buiging en op de combinatie van druk en buiging volgens Eurocode 3.

• Hoofdstuk 1 behandelt de theorie en achtergronden van de stabiliteit van een centrisch op druk belaste staaf met aandacht voor de Eulerse knikkracht, knikkromme en knikfactor. Vervolgens komen de instabiliteitsvormen (knik, torsie en torsieknik) aan de orde en wordt het begrip kniklengte besproken voor staven en raamwerken.

• Hoofdstuk 2 behandelt de theorie en achtergronden van de stabiliteit van een op buiging belaste staaf met aandacht voor de verschillende randvoorwaarden en belastingcondities. Daarna wordt het Eulerse kipmoment besproken en de theorie toegelicht met een aantal rekenvoorbeeld...

This proven and internationally recognized text teaches the methods of engineering design as a condition of successful product development. It breaks down the design process into phases and then into distinct steps, each with its own working methods. The book provides more examples of product development; it also tightens the scientific bases of its design ideas with new solution fields in composite components, building methods, mechatronics and adaptronics.

The economics of design and develo...

This textbook deals in six chapters with the application and design of composite steel and concrete structures for buildings according to Eurocode 4.

• Chapter 1 gives a general overview of the characteristics, design and construction, and applications of composite beams, floors and columns. Also the advantages and disadvantages of the different structural solutions are discussed.

• Chapters 2 to 5 provide detailed information about the design methods and assessment rules in EN 1994 for ...

Geoengineering en Transhumanisme is het derde boek van Elana Freeland

en completeert het volledige beeld van waarvoor geoengineering vanaf het allereerste

begin, nu zo'n 30 jaar geleden, is bedoeld, namelijk het beheersen van de ionosfeer met

gepulseerde straling om zo een geïoniseerde atmosfeer te handhaven waarin

chemische stoffen en nanotechnologie voortdurend kunnen worden uitgestrooid door

straalvliegtuigen, drones en raketten met als excuus 'de strijd tegen

klimaatverandering'.
