Introduction.-The engineer reading foreign literature in his field often has difficulty in determining the English meaning of un­ familiar technical terms. This glossary is intended to assist him in consulting German civil engineering publications. In order to reflect present usage in German practice the words were compiled from several representative modern German works in each of the subdivisions of civil engineering and from current technical periodicals. The Engli sh meanings are those which would be employed in American practice. 2. Aclmowledgment.-This study has been made as a part of the work of the Engineering Experiment Station of the University of Illi­ nois, of which DEAN M. L. ENGER is the director, and of the Depart­ ment of Civil Engineering, of which PROFESSOR ·\11/. C. H UNTINGTON is the head.* 3. Remarks.-In German the monophthongs a, o, ii and the diph­ thong au may also be printed as ae, oe, ue and aeu. The latter manner of representation is much less common. The position of words in the glossary has been determined by considering a, o, ii and au just as though they were a, o, u and au, and not as ae, oe, ue and aeu. The possibilities offered in the German language to form new words or slightly change the meaning of accepted words by means of word combinations would permit a word li st to be extended to almost any length. The meaning of a compound word which is not listed may often be determined by separating it into its various parts and obtain­ ing the meaning of these parts. In combining several German words to form one compound word the complete spelling of each word is retained except that no letter may be repeated more than twice in direct sequence. For example. Schluss + Stein = Schlusstein and not Schlussstein. All nouns begin with capital letters and have their gender indicated by "m", "f", or "n" (for masculine, feminine or neuter gender). Verbs are indicated by "v"; adjectives by "adj." ; adverbs by "adv."; and prepositions by "prep." A brief summary of American equivalents for metric units is given at the end of the glossary.t *Appreciation is expressed to Dr. ~1. Suter, Dr. C. A. \Viltiam s, and to all others who have made helpful criticisms and suggesti o ns. tSuggestions or additions which would make the glossary more useful will be appreciated by the author. 5 6 ILLINOIS ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION 4.

    A Simple Beam Test: Motivating High School Teachers to Develop Pre-Engineering Curricula

    Session 2326 A Simple Beam Test: Motivating High School Teachers to Develop Pre-Engineering Curricula Eric E. Matsumoto, John R. Johnston, E. Edward Dammel, S.K. Ramesh California State University, Sacramento Abstract The College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Sacramento has developed a daylong workshop for high school teachers interested in developing and teaching pre-engineering curricula. Recent workshop participants from nine high schools performed “hands-on” laboratory experiments that can be implemented at the high school level to introduce basic engineering principles and technology and to inspire students to study engineering. This paper describes one experiment that introduces fundamental structural engineering concepts through a simple beam test. A load is applied at the center of a beam using weights, and the resulting midspan deflection is measured. The elastic stiffness of the beam is determined and compared to published values for various beam materials and cross sectional shapes. Beams can also be tested to failure. This simple and inexpensive experiment provides a useful springboard for discussion of important engineering topics such as elastic and inelastic behavior, influence of materials and structural shapes, stiffness, strength, and failure modes. Background engineering concepts are also introduced to help high school teachers understand and implement the experiment. Participants rated the workshop highly and several teachers have already implemented workshop experiments in pre-engineering curricula. I. Introduction The College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Sacramento has developed an active outreach program to attract students to the College and promote engineering education. In partnership with the Sacramento Engineering and Technology Regional Consortium1 (SETRC), the College has developed a daylong workshop for high school teachers interested in developing and teaching pre-engineering curricula.

    48 HOUR QUICK SHIP Maximize storage and improve accessibility I-Beam cantilever racks Meet the latest addition to our Quick Ship line. Popular for their space-saving design, I-Beam cantilever racks can allow accessibility from both sides, allowing for faster load and unload times. Their robust construction reduces fork truck damage. Quick Ship I-beam cantilever racks offer: • 4‘ arm length, with 4” vertical adjustability • Freestanding heights of 12’ and 16’ • Structural steel construction with a 50,000 psi minimum yield • Heavy arm connector plate • Bolted base-to-column connection I-Beam Cantilever Racks can be built in either single- or double-sided configurations. How to design your cantilever rack systems 1. Determine the number and spacing of support arms. 1a The capacity of each 4’ arm is 2,600#, so you will need to make sure that you 1b use enough arms to accommodate your load. In addition, you can test for deflection by using wood blocks on the floor under the load. 1c Use enough arms under a load to prevent deflection of the load. Deflection causes undesirable side pressure on the arms. If you do not detect any deflection with two wood blocks, you may use two support arms. Note: Product should overhang the end of the rack by 1/2 of the upright centerline distance. If you notice deflection, try three supports. Add supports as necessary until deflection is eliminated. Loading without overhang is incorrect. I-Beam cantilever racks WWW.STEELKING.COM 2. Determine if Quick Ship I-Beam arm length is appropriate for your load.

CK-12 FoundationChapter10RulesforTranslationsB 18 www.ck12.org Chapter 1. Unit 1: Transformations, Congruence and Similarity Guidance In geometry, a transformation is an operation that moves, flips, or changes a shape (called the preimage) to create a new shape (called the image). A translation is a type of transformation that moves each point in a figure the same distance in the same direction. Translations are often referred to as slides. You can describe a translation using words like "moved up 3 and over 5 to the left" or with notation. There are two types of notation to know. T x y 1. One notation looks like (3, 5). This notation tells you to add 3 to the values and add 5 to the values. 2. The second notation is a mapping rule of the form (x,y) → (x−7,y+5). This notation tells you that the x and y coordinates are translated to x − 7 and y + 5. The mapping rule notation is the most common. Example A Sarah describes a translation as point P moving from P(−2,2) to P(1,−1).

  • 2-D Drawing Geometry Homogeneous Coordinates

    2-D Drawing Geometry Homogeneous Coordinates

    2-D Drawing Geometry Homogeneous Coordinates The rotation of a point, straight line or an entire image on the screen, about a point other than origin, is achieved by first moving the image until the point of rotation occupies the origin, then performing rotation, then finally moving the image to its original position. The moving of an image from one place to another in a straight line is called a translation. A translation may be done by adding or subtracting to each point, the amount, by which picture is required to be shifted. Translation of point by the change of coordinate cannot be combined with other transformation by using simple matrix application. Such a combination is essential if we wish to rotate an image about a point other than origin by translation, rotation again translation. To combine these three transformations into a single transformation, homogeneous coordinates are used. In homogeneous coordinate system, two-dimensional coordinate positions (x, y) are represented by triple- coordinates. Homogeneous coordinates are generally used in design and construction applications. Here we perform translations, rotations, scaling to fit the picture into proper position 2D Transformation in Computer Graphics- In Computer graphics, Transformation is a process of modifying and re- positioning the existing graphics. • 2D Transformations take place in a two dimensional plane. • Transformations are helpful in changing the position, size, orientation, shape etc of the object.

What is a truss? A “truss” is formed when structural members are joined together in triangular configurations. The truss is one of the basic types of structural frames formed from structural members. A truss consists of a group of ties and struts designed and connected to form a structure that acts as a large span beam. The members usually form one or more triangles in a single plane and are arranged so the external loads are applied at the joints and therefore theoretically cause only axial tension or axial compression in the members.

    Determination of Mohr-Coulomb Parameters for Modelling of Concrete

    crystals Article Determination of Mohr-Coulomb Parameters for Modelling of Concrete Selimir Lelovic 1,* and Dejan Vasovic 2,* 1 Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia 2 Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia * Correspondence: [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (D.V.) Received: 23 July 2020; Accepted: 7 September 2020; Published: 13 September 2020 Abstract: Cohesion is defined as the shear strength of material when compressive stress is zero. This article presents a new method for the experimental determination of cohesion at pre-set angles of shear deformation. Specially designed moulds are created to force deformation (close to τ-axis) at fixed pre-set values of angle with respect to normal stress σ. Testing is performed on series of concrete blocks of different strengths. From the compressive side, cohesion is determined from the extrapolation of the linear Mohr–Coulomb (MC) model, as the intercept on the shear stress axis. From the tensile stress side (from the left), cohesion is obtained using the Brazilian test results: BT first, indirect tensile strength of material σt is measured, then Mohr circle diagram values are calculated and cohesion is determined as the value of shear stress τBT on the Mohr circle where normal stress (σ)t = 0. A hypothesis is made that cohesion is the common point between two tests. In the numerical part, a theory of ultimate load is applied to model Brazilian test using the angle of shear friction from the MC model. Matching experimental and numerical results confirm that the proposed procedure is applicable in numerical analysis.

    Reinforced Concrete Cantilever Beam Analysis and Design (ACI 318-14) Reinforced Concrete Cantilever Beam Analysis and Design (ACI 318-14) Cantilever beams consist of one span with fixed support at one end and the other end is free. There are numerous typical and practical applications of cantilever beams in buildings, bridges, industrial and special structures. This example will demonstrate the analysis and design of the rectangular reinforced concrete cantilever beam shown below using ACI 318-14 provisions. Steps of the structural analysis, flexural design, shear design, and deflection checks will be presented. The results of hand calculations are then compared with the reference results and numerical analysis results obtained from the spBeam engineering software program by StructurePoint.
