Análisis estructural básico
Author: Estrada Mejía, MartínPublisher: Universidad Piloto de Colombia
ISBN: 9588957583
Category : Building
Languages : es
Pages : 101
Book Description
Para la formación de ingenieros civiles, un curso sobre el análisis mecánico de las estructuras es la conexión entre la mecánica de cuerpos sólidos con el mundo de la construcción de edificaciones e infraestructuras. Este libro permite a los estudiantes aprender un tema fundamental para su formación como ingenieros, al tiempo que van a desarrollar sus habilidades para resolver problemas con una visión crítica y abierta. Este libro se escribió pensando en generar un material de apoyo para los cursos de análisis y mecánica de las estructuras. En la primera parte, el libro muestra las generalidades sobre la mecánica de las estructuras, allí el lector encontrará una clasificación de elementos, estructuras y sistemas estructurales con las que podrá manejar los términos relativos al tema con facilidad. En seguida se dedican algunas secciones al cálculo de cargas, según lo establecido en la Norma de Construcción Sismoresistente Colombiana, con el fin de familiarizar al estudiante con la normativa vigente de construcción en el país. Además, el texto presenta algunos de los conceptos básicos sobre el análisis estructural. Los temas se exponen gradualmente en la medida que se introducen conceptos nuevos y metodologías más avanzadas, precisas y complejas. El estudiante aprenderá primero sobre el análisis estructural de elementos aislados estáticamente determinados e indeterminados con diferentes métodos. Se presentan métodos de energía con los cuales se puede lograr gran precisión en los resultados. Y, finalmente, se termina con una explicación sobre el análisis matricial de estructuras reticulares estáticamente indeterminadas para anticipar los temas que el estudiante verá en los cursos de análisis avanzado de estructuras.
Bibliographic Guide to Latin American Studies
Author: Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations
Author: Earl A. CoddingtonPublisher: Krieger Publishing Company
ISBN: 9780898747553
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
The prerequisite for the study of this book is a knowledge of matrices and the essentials of functions of a complex variable. It has been developed from courses given by the authors and probably contains more material than will ordinarily be covered in a one-year course. It is hoped that the book will be a useful text in the application of differential equations as well as for the pure mathematician.
The Extent of Poverty in Latin America
Author: Oscar AltimirPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
This work originated in a research project for the measurement and analysis of income distribution in the Latin American countries, undertaken jointly by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the World Bank. The present paper presents estimates of the extent of absolute poverty for ten Latin American countries and for the region as a whole in the 1970s, on the basis of available household surveys and population censuses. They are based on country-specific poverty lines representing minimum acceptable levels of private consumption, drawn according to a food-based method. Such poverty lines - ranging from 150 to 250 dollars of annual household consumption per capita - express a normative definition of the absolute dimensions of poverty, partly based on expert appraisals and partly reflecting the actual behavior of low income households facing the life style projected by Latin American development. According to these estimates, 40 percent of Latin American households were poor at the beginning of the 1970s, the incidence of poverty being 26 percent in urban areas and 60 percent in rural areas. Urban poverty extended to more than one-third of urban households in some countries (Brazil, Colombia, Honduras) while affecting between 20 and 30 percent in others (Peru, Mexico, Venezuela), about 15 percent in Costa Rica and Chile and less than 10 percent in Argentina and Uruguay. The extent of poverty in rural areas would not be less than 20 percent in any case and would reach more than 60 percent in some countries. The corresponding poverty gaps were also estimated; in terms of total household income, they may represent manageable proportions (around 2-3 percent) in the better-off countries, but are in the 4-8 percent range in the bigger countries of the region and reach as much as 12 percent in Peru and 17 percent in Honduras.
Transport in Plants I

Pages : 548
Book Description
When WILHELM RUHLAND developed his plan for an Encyclopedia of Plant Physiol ogy more than three decades ago, biology could still be conveniently subdivided into classical areas. Even within plant physiology, subdivisions were not too difficult to make, and general principles could be covered sufficiently in the two introductory volumes of the Encyclopedia on the physical and chemical basis of cell biology. But the situation changed rapidly even during the 12-year publication period of the Encyclopedia (1955-1967). The new molecular direction of genetics and structural research on biopolymers had an integrating effect on all other biological fields, including plant physiology, and it became increasingly difficult to keep previously distinct areas separated. RUHLAND'S overall plan included 18 volumes and about 22,000 pages. It covered the entire field of plant physiology, in most cases from the very beginning. But, as each volume appeared, it was clear that its content would soon be outdated.
