General Notes:
Preliminaries -- Structures -- Flexibility -- Stiffness -- Optimal Concerns.
Addressing structures, this book presents a classic discipline in a modern setting by combining illustrated examples with insights into the solutions. It is the fruit of the author’s many years of teaching the subject and of just as many years of research into the design of optimal structures. Although intended for an advanced level of instruction it has an undergraduate course at its core. Further, the book was written with the advantage of having massive computer power in the background, an aspect which changes the entire approach to many engineering disciplines and in particular to structures. This paradigm shift has dislodged the force (flexibility) method from its former prominence and paved the way for the displacement (stiffness) method, despite the multitude of linear equations it spawns. In this book, however, both methods are taught: the force method offers a perfect vehicle for understanding structural behavior, bearing in mind that it is the displacement method which does the heavy number crunching. As a rule the book keeps things as simple as possible, conveying the basic ideas and refraining from lengthy calculations wherever possible. Further, it endeavors to unify the approach, showing that whatever applies to simple springs is equally valid for intricate frames. In addition to various design considerations, it also addresses several topics relating to optimal structures that will be of interest to students and teachers of structures.

<p>Ce livre a pour thème principal l'étude des structures de données. Il s'agit de constituants logiciels dont la qualité conditionne le bon fonctionnement et l'efficacité de la plupart des applications informatiques. L’originalité de l’ouvrage réside dans le lien qu'il établit avec la discipline des méthodes formelles pour le génie logiciel. En montrant comment il est possible de calculer les opérations qui accompagnent ces structures à partir d'une spécification rigoureuse, il jette un regard neuf sur le domaine.</p><p>Dans une première partie, l'auteur présente les bases de la discipline : la théorie des ensembles (avec comme support les notations et principes de la méthode B), l'étude de structures intermédiaires (listes, arbres, sacs) et l'analyse (classique mais aussi amortie) des algorithmes. La seconde partie se focalise sur l'étude approfondie de cinq structures de données typiques : les ensembles simples, les ensembles composites, les files simples, les files de priorité, et les tableaux flexibles. L'ensemble de l'exposé répond quant à lui à une double logique : une perspective historique (à chaque époque correspondent des structures de données caractéristiques) et une démarche fonctionnelle (les opérations sont des fonctions qui délivrent une valeur). De nombreux exercices accompagnent chaque chapitre.</p><p>L'ouvrage s'adresse aux informaticiens, professionnels, étudiants ou enseignants désireux de faire évoluer leurs connaissances et leur pratique des structures de données ainsi que de leurs liens avec les méthodes formelles.</p><i>Marc Guyomard est professeur d'informatique à l'Enssat (université de Rennes-1 et université européenne de Bretagne), école d'ingénieurs située à Lannion. Ses principaux domaines d’intérêt sont les modèles formels pour le développement logiciel et pour l'interaction naturelle homme-machine.</i>

General Notes:
Introduction -- Load and Behaviour Criteria -- Structural Design and Analysis -- Seismic Analysis and Design -- Design against Impulse and Impact Loads -- Experimental.
<p>This book provides a general introduction to the topic of buildings for resistance to the effects of abnormal loadings. The structural design requirements for nuclear facilities are very unique. In no other structural system are extreme loads such as tornadoes, missile and louds-interaction, earthquake effects typical in excess of any recorded historical data at a site, and postulated system accident at very low probability range explicitly, considered in design. Many design anaysis are included with examples.</p><p>It covers the whole spectrum of extreme load which has to be considered in the structural design of nuclear facilities and reactor buildings, the safety criteria, the structural design, the analysis of containment. Test case studies are given in a comprehensive treatment. Computer program solutions supporting analysis are given in the appendices.</p><p>Each major section contains a full explanation which allows the book to be used by students and practicing engineers, particularly those facing formidable task of having to design complicated building structures with unusual boundary conditions.</p>

The Structures of Practical Knowledge investigates the nature of practical knowledge – why, how, when and by whom it is codified, and once codified, how this knowledge is structured. The inquiry unfolds in a series of fifteen case studies, which range in focus from early modern Italy to eighteenth century China. At the heart of each study is a shared definition of practical knowledge, that is, knowledge needed to obtain a certain outcome, whether that be an artistic or mechanical artifact, a healing practice, or a mathematical result. While the content of practical knowledge is widely variable, this study shows that all practical knowledge is formally equivalent in following a defined workflow, as reflected in a construction procedure, a recipe, or an algorithm. As explored in the volume’s fifteen contributions, there are three levels at which structures of practical knowledge may be understood and examined. At the most immediate level, there are the individual workflows that encompasses practical knowledge itself. Probing further, it is possible to examine the structure of practical knowledge as it is externalized and codified in texts, drawings, and artifacts such as models. Finally, practical knowledge is also related to social structures, which fundamentally determine its dissemination and evolution into new knowledge structures. The social structures of professionals and institutions represent the critical means by which practical knowledge takes form. These actors are the agents of codification, and by means of selection, appropriation, investment, and knowledge development, they determine the formation of new structures of practical knowledge. On a more abstract level, the creation of new knowledge structures is understood as constituting the basis for the further development of scientific knowledge. Rich in subject matter and incisive in the theory it lays out, this volume represents an important contribution to the history of science and epistemology. Individually, the fifteen case studies – encompassing the history of architecture, mining, brewing, glass production, printing, ballistics, mechanics, cartography, cosmology and astronomy – are replete with original research, and offer new insights into the history of science. Taken together, the contributions remodel historical epistemology as a whole, elucidating the underlining knowledge structures that transcend disciplinary boundaries, and that unite practitioners across time and space.
