ESTE TITULO PRESENTA YA SINTESIS COMPLETA DE CONCEPTOS BASICOS Y ASOCIADOS A LA DISCIPLINA DE LA INGENIERIA DE PAVIMENTACION ESPECIFICO PARA INGENIERO Y ARQUITECOT VINCULADO A LA CONSTRUCCION DE CARR

El incentivo que debe tener el aprendiz al comienzo de su carrera debe ser comparable al del artesano al momento de emprender una construcción: llegar a completarla con éxito. Obra de interés para contratistas, arquitectos, ingenieros, residentes y artesanos que deseen actualizar y ampliar sus conocimientos especificos sobre cada uno de los temas de que consta esta serie. En este primer volumen se estudia todo lo relacionado con el trazo y nivelacion del terreno, la excavacion y el ademado, el concreto, las cimentaciones para muros y pilares, los ladrillos y el mortero, las subestructuras, y las herramientas del oficio. Cada uno de los temas esta profusamente ilustrado con diagramas, cortes seccionales e isometricos, que dan apoyo grafico de gran utilidad y facilitan la asimilacion.

El objeto de la obra es presentar al lector todo lo que, de un modo u otro, se refiere al saneamiento, tratando de resolver mediante soluciones sencillas esta compleja materia y a veces tan enfadosa. Es asi que esta obra nos proporcionara un estudio del equipo sanitario de los inmuebles, de todo lo que se refiere a la concepcion y explotacion de las redes de alcantarillado, y de los diversos efluentes provenientes de las aglomeraciones.

La simulación de materiales tiene una gran importancia, teórica y práctica, desde múltiples puntos de vista y aplicaciones profesionales. Es un requisito fundamental para la creación de escenarios virtuales y esta imbricada en elpropio proceso de diseño. Pues los colores, texturas, reflejos o transparencias, modifican las formas y espacios que percibimos. Las posibilidades que se han abierto a partir del desarrollo de nuevos recursos de interaccion virtual, abren vias que solo desde hace pocos años estamos comenzando a asimilar. Este libro, que se publica en paralelo con otro sobre Simulacion visual de la iluminacion, abarca todo lo implicado en esta tematica, tanto desde un punto de vista teorico y conceptual, a lo largo de su primera parte, como por medio de una explicacion pormenorizada, a lo largo de su segunda parte, de las principales tecnicas con que contamos en la actualidad, proporcionando ejemplos relevantespara diferentes aplicaciones, principalmente en arquitectura y diseño.

Among introductory texts on the strength of materials, this work is particularly distinguished. It was originally developed by Professor Den Hartog to meet the needs of engineering students at M.I.T. for a sound yet lucid first course in strength of materials. As such it has also enjoyed wide popularity in engineering schools throughout the world.But the book was remarkable in a number of other ways, so that it has become one of the favorite refresher and reference works for engineers as well as a popular self-study text. Perhaps the chief reason for this is that in addition to all the customary elementary material on the subject (i.e., clear instructions to the fundamentals of tension, torsion, bending, compound stresses, deflection of beams, etc.) it also contains a considerable amount of more advanced material concerning methods of great practical value to working engineers which are not usually included in introductory texts.This material is presented in starred sections (which may be omitted on a first reading without interrupting the flow of the presentation) and includes a full treatment of the Mohr circle and its application to the determination of moments of inertia and strains as well as stresses; a lucid elementary presentation of the theory of the center of shear; and one of the few elementary presentations of the theory of the center of shear; and one of the few elementary discussions of the "Myosotis" method of calculating beam deflections, a method which often possesses considerable advantages over the more usual methods involving moment-area or the differential equation of bending.Other material not usually found in elementary texts but which are frequently of great value to the practicing engineer are the discussions of the statically indeterminate truss, reinforced concrete, plastic deformations, thick-walled cylinders, thick curved bars, Maxwell''s Reciprocal Theorem, and photoelasticity.In all sections, both general principles and concrete applications are given. Another feature which readers have found unusually helpful is the 85-page section of 350 problems which gives the student practice in techniques and further illustrates applications. All problems are complete with answers.

Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in service. Chapter 1 gives a general survey of the topic with brief comments on the signi?cance of the aspects involved. This serves as a kind of a program for the following chapters. The central issues in this book are predictions of fatigue properties and designing against fatigue. These objectives cannot be realized without a physical and mechanical understanding of all relevant conditions. In Chapter 2 the book starts with basic concepts of what happens in the material of a structure under cyclic loads. It illustrates the large number of variables which can affect fatigue properties and it provides the essential background knowledge for subsequent chapters. Different subjects are presented in the following main parts: Basic chapters on fatigue properties and predictions (Chapters 28) Load spectra and fatigue under variable-amplitude loading (Chapters 911) Fatigue tests and scatter (Chapters 12 and 13) Special fatigue conditions (Chapters 1417) Fatigue of joints and structures (Chapters 1820) Fiber-metal laminates (Chapter 21) Each chapter presents a discussion of a speci?c subject.
