Structural Engineering
Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing?Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability.With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments.Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way.Start out with small models that demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximise the strength of a structure for a fixed amount of material used.Learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, plates, arches, shells, and catenary.Explore the forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear and bending.Move onto building more complex models of trusses, roofs and small buildings.Experiment with different types of bridge construction: a truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge and suspension bridge.Finally, build models of towering skyscrapers. What is the tallest tower you can build using only the pieces included in the kit?Learn about the strength and stiffness of materials.See how structural engineers optimise factors to maximise safety, and minimise cost and the risk of structural failure.A 36-page, full-colour manual guides you through model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.

Structural Dynamics
Dynamics is increasingly being identified by consulting engineers as one of the key skills which needs to be taught in civil engineering degree programs.This is driven by the trend towards lighter, more vibration-prone structures, the growth of business in earthquake regions, the identification of new threats such as terrorist attack and the increased availability of sophisticated dynamic analysis tools. Martin Williams presents this short, accessible introduction to the area of structural dynamics.He begins by describing dynamic systems and their representation for analytical purposes.The two main chapters deal with linear analysis of single (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems, under free vibration and in response to a variety of forcing functions.Hand analysis of continuous systems is covered briefly to illustrate the key principles.Methods of calculation of non-linear dynamic response is also discussed.Lastly, the key principles of random vibration analysis are presented – this approach is crucial for wind engineering and is increasingly important for other load cases.An appendix briefly summarizes relevant mathematical techniques.Extensive use is made of worked examples, mostly drawn from civil engineering (though not exclusively – there is considerable benefit to be gained from emphasizing the commonality with other branches of engineering).This introductory dynamics textbook is aimed at upper level civil engineering undergraduates and those starting an M.Sc. course in the area.

What are structural lesions?
Structural lesions refer to abnormal physical changes in the body's tissues or organs, often caused by injury, disease, or congenital abnormalities. These changes can be seen through medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Structural lesions can affect the function of the affected tissue or organ, leading to symptoms and health problems. Treatment for structural lesions may involve surgery, medication, or other interventions to address the underlying cause and improve the patient's health.

What is structural policy?
Structural policy refers to government interventions and strategies aimed at influencing the long-term structure of an economy. It focuses on addressing underlying issues such as market failures, inequality, and inefficiencies to promote sustainable economic growth and development. Structural policies can include measures such as investment in education and training, infrastructure development, regulatory reforms, and support for innovation and entrepreneurship. By targeting the fundamental drivers of economic performance, structural policy aims to enhance productivity, competitiveness, and overall welfare in an economy.

What is structural unemployment?
Structural unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills that workers possess and the skills that employers require. This mismatch can be due to changes in technology, shifts in consumer demand, or changes in the structure of the economy. Structural unemployment is often long-term in nature and can be difficult to address through short-term economic policies. It typically requires retraining programs, education initiatives, and other long-term solutions to help affected workers find new employment opportunities.

What is a martial arts knockout?
A martial arts knockout occurs when one fighter delivers a powerful strike that renders their opponent unconscious or unable to continue the fight. This can happen through punches, kicks, or other techniques that target the head or body with enough force to incapacitate the opponent. Knockouts are a common way to win a fight in combat sports such as boxing, MMA, and kickboxing.

Structural Anthropology Zero
This volume of Lévi-Strauss's writings from 1941 to 1947 bears witness to a period of his work which is often overlooked but which was the crucible for the structural anthropology that he would go on to develop in the years that followed. Like many European Jewish intellectuals, Lévi-Strauss had sought refuge in New York while the Nazis overran and occupied much of Europe. He had already been introduced to Jakobson and structural linguistics but he had not yet laid out an agenda for structuralism, which he would do in the 1950s and 60s.At the same time, these American years were the time when Lévi-Strauss would learn of some of the world's most devastating historical catastrophes - the genocide of the indigenous American peoples and of European Jews. From the beginning of the 1950s, Lévi-Strauss's anthropology tacitly bears the heavy weight of the memory and possibility of the Shoah.To speak of 'structural anthropology zero' is therefore to refer to the source of a way of thinking which turned our conception of the human on its head.But this prequel to Structural Anthropology also underlines the sense of a tabula rasa which animated its author at the end of the war as well as the project – shared with others – of a civilizational rebirth on novel grounds. Published here in English for the first time, this volume of Lévi-Strauss’s texts from the 1940s will be of great interest to students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences generally.

How to create structural formulas?
To create structural formulas, start by identifying the main functional groups present in the molecule. Then, determine the connectivity of atoms by analyzing the molecular formula. Next, draw the carbon skeleton, ensuring each carbon atom has the appropriate number of bonds. Finally, add in the remaining atoms and bonds according to the connectivity and valency rules. Double and triple bonds can be represented by drawing multiple lines between the atoms. Practice and familiarity with common functional groups will help in accurately creating structural formulas.

What does structural unemployment mean?
Structural unemployment refers to a type of unemployment that occurs due to a mismatch between the skills and qualifications of workers and the available job opportunities in the market. This mismatch can be caused by changes in technology, shifts in consumer demand, or changes in the structure of industries. Unlike cyclical unemployment, which is influenced by fluctuations in the business cycle, structural unemployment is more long-term in nature and requires retraining or relocation of workers to address.

What is a structural formula?
A structural formula is a type of chemical formula that shows the arrangement of atoms within a molecule. It uses lines to represent chemical bonds between atoms and shows how the atoms are connected to each other. This type of formula provides more detailed information about the molecular structure compared to a molecular formula, which only gives the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule. Structural formulas are important for understanding the properties and behavior of molecules in chemistry.

What exactly is structural violence?
Structural violence refers to the systematic ways in which social structures, institutions, and policies harm individuals or groups by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. This form of violence is often embedded in societal norms and power dynamics, leading to inequalities and injustices that can persist over time. Examples of structural violence include poverty, discrimination, lack of access to healthcare or education, and unequal distribution of resources. It is important to address and dismantle these underlying structures in order to create a more just and equitable society.
