Structural Design for Architecture
Architectural Pr | ISBN: 0750630906 | November 1997 | PDF | 267 pages | 19 MB
“This text is concerned with the preliminary stages of the design of structures for buildings. It also deals with the issues involved in structural decision making at a strategic level. It is intended principally for use by students of architecture and should provide them with the information required to make sensible choices on the structural aspects of architectural design. The topics covered include choice of structural material, the determination of the form and geometry of structures, the integration of the structure with other aspects of architectural design and the preliminary allocation of dimensions to the principal structural elements.

The Structural Evolution of Morality
312 pages | Dec 12, 2008 |ISBN:0521870321 | PDF | 6 Mb
It is certainly the case that morality governs the interactions that take place between individuals. But what if morality exists because of these interactions? This book argues for the claim that much of the behaviour we view as 'moral' exists because acting in that way benefits each of us to the greatest extent possible, given the socially structured nature of society. Drawing upon aspects of evolutionary game theory, the theory of bounded rationality, and computational models of social networks, it shows both how moral behaviour can emerge in socially structured environments, and how it can persist even when it is not typically viewed as 'rational' from a traditional economic perspective. Since morality consists of much more than mere behaviour, this book also provides a theory of how moral principles and the moral sentiments play an indispensable role in effective choice, acting as 'fast and frugal heuristics' in social decision contexts.

Steel Designers' Manual
Blackwell 6/ed (5-2003) | PDF | 1328 pages | 0632049251 | 8.0Mb(rar)
Steel Designers' Manual /by Steel Construction Institute (Great Britain) (Author), Buick Davison (Editor), Graham W. Owens (Editor).This classic manual on structural steel design provides a major source of reference for structural engineers and fabricators working with the leading construction material. Based fully on the concepts of limit state design, the manual has been revised to take account of the 2000 revisions to BS 5950. It also looks at new developments in structural steel, environmental issues and outlines the main requirements of the Eurocode on structural steel.

III-Nitride Semiconductors: Electrical, Structural and Defects Properties
400 pages | Dec 12, 2001 |ISBN:0444506306 | PDF | 25 Mb
Book Description:
Research advances in III-nitride semiconductor materials and device have led to an exponential increase in activity directed towards electronic and optoelectronic applications. There is also great scientific interest in this class of materials because they appear to form the first semiconductor system in which extended defects do not severely affect the optical properties of devices.

Structural Package Designs
197 EPS | PDF Catalog | 154 x 399 | 10 MB
Packaging is an important factor in any retail environment and a key element in most marketing strategies. Consumers react immediately to package shapes, and are influenced by them when making buying decisions. Different product categories are often easy to recognize by their characteristic form, for example chocolate boxes or milk cartons. On the other hand, a manufacturer of an exclusive product, such as jewellery or perfume, may deliberately choose an unusual, eye-catching form. This completely revised edition of our bestseller serves as a reference for structural design. All designs have been selected on account of their functional relevance and acceptability, and are stored in eps vector format on the enclosed CD-Rom. They can be easily scaled and modified to suit specific requirements.
