The book approaches the basic theory of structures from a different perspective from standard pedagogy. There is consideration of work and energy concepts as fundamental and the equations of statics derived from them. Likewise, these concepts, together with that of the characteristic response, are used in the derivation of beam theory. Plane sections remaining plane is then seen as a particular result for isotropic, homogeneous, prismatic beams. The general theory may still be used where none of these conditions holds, and can even be applied to trusses. It also corrects errors in the theory o

Das Dach ist die Urform menschlicher Behausungen, bei dem Holz als Baustoff für die Verwendung von Dachkonstruktionen - zumindest im Wohnhausbau - nach wie vor eine enorme Bedeutung zukommt. Aufgrund des geringen Gewichts, der schnellen Montage, der Elementierbarkeit und der modernen Verbindungstechnik werden auch in Zukunft Holzdachstühle in Verwendung sein. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die gängigen Konstruktionssysteme, die im Altbau und Neubau angewendet werden, bis hin zu Sonderformen, Dachgaupen und modernen Konstruktionen.In der Neuauflage wurden speziell die Auswirkungen der aktuellen Normen berücksichtigt (EUROCODE 5) sowie die Arten der Dachstühle, Verbindungen und Hallentragwerke überarbeitet. Auch Hinweise zur Bestandsanalyse zur späteren Dachraumnutzung fehlen nicht. This second edition offers an overview of the typical construction techniques used in pre- and post-war buildings, including special forms, dormers, and modern design approaches. In the new edition, the chapter on roof trusses, connective elements, and hall structures has been revised to incorporate current standards. The work also provides tips for assessing buildings with a view to the future utilization of attic space.

How do words mean? What is the nature of meaning? How can we grasp a word's meaning? The frame-semantic approach developed in this book offers some well-founded answers to such long-standing, but still controversial issues. Following Charles Fillmore's definition of frames as both organizers of experience and tools for understanding, the monograph attempts to examine one of the most important concepts of Cognitive Linguistics in more detail. The point of departure is Fillmore's conception of "frames of understanding" - an approach to (cognitive) semantics that Fillmore developed from 1975 to 1

There are many publications about inclusive education although only a few review international comparative studies. This book presents the nexus of theory and practice, gives opportunities for the reader to observe inclusive education through socioeducational lenses and, thus, promotes reflective thinking. It is noteworthy, that the book makes the respondents’, i.e., parents’, teachers’ and students’ voices heard. It is crucial for creating inclusive education to appreciate experiential expertise and enhance the agency of all members in the school community. The authors of the book deal with the integrated entity of four interesting and quite different cases of inclusive schools in theoretical and socio-educational frames.

This book provides an authoritative overview of the developments in gravitomagnetism which have taken place in the last few years. In particular, experiments for measuring the Lense-Thirring effect with satellites orbiting the Earth are reviewed, and an updated list of references on gravitomagnetism is included. The book also presents diverse research in general relativity and cosmology. It will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in cosmology, astrophysics, astronomy, relativity and applied mathematics. Contents: Spacetime Splitting Techniques and Gravitoelectromagnetism in

The near-field earthquake which struck the Hanshin-Awaji area of Japan before dawn on January 17, 1995, in addition to snatching away the lives of more than 6,000 people, inflicted horrendous damage on the region's infrastructure, including the transportation, communication and lifeline supply network and, of course, on buildings, too. A year earlier, the San Fernando Valley area of California had been hit by another near-field quake, the Northridge Earthquake, which dealt a similarly destructive blow to local infrastructures. Following these two disasters, structural engineers and researchers

Discovering the unused potential of wood Holz wird meist als "traditioneller" Werkstoff wahrgenommen. Seine Materialeigenschaften ermöglichen längst jedoch die Gestaltung von Freiformen und hochkomplexen Strukturen. Das ursprünglich von Julius Natterer gegründete Holzlabor der ETH Lausanne erprobt heute unter der Leitung von Professor Wienand mit digitalen Berechnungs- und computergestützten Bearbeitungsmethoden die Herstellung von Origami-Strukturen, Rippenschalen, Gewebestrukturen und gekrümmten Paneelen.Diese Forschungsergebnisse werden in Prototypen erprobt, die so die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für großmaßstäbliche Holzbauten anschaulich machen. Durch dieses Ausloten bislang ungenutzter Potenziale des Baustoffs Holz bietet dieses Buch einen spannenden und inspirierenden Ausblick auf eine neue Generation von Holzbauten.

'Going beyond the challenge' means looking at the phenomenon of migration in its complexity, through a multi and interdisciplinary approach. The chapters that make up the first part offer an over-view of the phenomenon, with a reflection on the numbers of migrations in Italy followed by an in-depth examination of its international dimension. The second part focuses on the Italian case, and on the Italian foreign policy towards some African countries. The third part of the book adopts a sociological perspective, including the reconfiguration of the 'border' in Italian legislation and the analysis of the reception model promoted in Tuscany. The fourth part analyses public communication, from hate speech to stereotypes, up to the politicization of the migration issue in some European countries.
