Praise for the First Edition «Now a new laboratory bible for optics researchers has joined the list: it is Phil Hobbs's Building Electro-Optical Systems: Making It All Work.» —Tony Siegman, Optics & Photonics News Building a modern electro-optical instrument may be the most interdisciplinary job in all of engineering. Be it a DVD player or a laboratory one-off, it involves physics, electrical engineering, optical engineering, and computer scienc ...
The third part of the Geotechnical Engineering Handbook is treating foundations and geotechnical structures. The particular contributions cover shallow foundations with their stability, piles, sheet pile walls, diaphragm walls, excavation pits, retaining structures and measures for slope protection. Special questions like the foundation of structures in mining areas, in open water as well as protection against vibration are also adressed in deta ...
All relevant relationships of building physics are explained, not only those included in standards, for energy-efficient building and to reduce the effect on the climate as well as for optimal interior climate and to avoid damage to building elements. ...
There are plenty of books on specialized risk topics but few that deal with the broad diversity and daily applicability of this subject. Risk applications require a robust knowledge of many attributes of this seemingly simple subject. This book teaches the reader through examples and case studies the fundamental (and subtle) aspects of risk – regardless of the specific situation. The text allows the reader to understand the concept of risk analy ...
This year, practical application notes for the verification formats and optimal design procedures for Part 1-8 «Joints» are included in addition to the revision of Part 1-1 «General Design Rules». With the introduction of the Eurocodes, there are also design changes for aluminium structures. Since there is no comparable European code, DIN 18807 Parts 3 and 9 remain in official use. As a result of the differing delineation of design rules, detail ...
