Sommario/riassunto

This reference text provides students and practicing engineers with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to identify, model, and solve structural analysis problems involving continuous fiber laminated composites. The principles are illustrated throughout with numerous examples and case studies, as well as example problems similar in nature to those found in strength of materials texts. A solutions manual is available. Extensive coverage of test methods and experimental techniques distinguished Staab from the many theory-led books on composites, making it ideal for practicing

Sommario/riassunto

"The rapidly evolving and exponentially growing green building movement is arguably the most successful environmental movement in the United States today. Sustainable building has proven to yield substantial environmental and economic advantages. Green buildings

are designed, built, and operated at a high level of energy and water efficiency, appropriate use of land and landscaping, use environmentally friendly materials, with special attention to life cycle. According to the World Green Building Trends 2018 SmartMarket Report by Dodge Data and Analytics in partnership with USGBC, a survey of over 2,000 participants from 87 countries, shows that global green building activity continues its ascent with almost half of total respondents expecting to build more than 60% of their projects as green buildings by 2021. More than half of respondents believe that rating systems such as LEED provide rigorous third-party verification that ensures buildings operate sustainably. The top triggers globally for green building activity are client demand, environmental regulation and occupant health"--
