Review of the assessment of site effectsThis title offers a comprehensive coverage of the many facets of seismic engineering.The first half of the book is devoted to seismic phenomena and hazards, detailing the causes of earthquakes, the parameters used to characterize earthquakes, strong ground motions, seismic hazards and their evaluation, and seismic action. The second half discusses the effects of earthquakes and tools used to assess and reduce risk, including the effects of vibratory motions and induced phenomena, seismic calculations and technical aspects of prevention.The importance of keeping orders of magnitude in mISTEEarthquake engineeringEngineering geologyEarthquake engineering.Engineering geology.624.1/762624.1762Betbeder-Matibet Jacques1635526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829935203321Seismic engineering3976365UNINA04541nam 22009733u 450 991083052710332120230725031404.01-283-26811-697866132681120-470-92924-30-470-92945-60-470-93462-X(CKB)2670000000092216(EBL)700553(OCoLC)746324246(SSID)ssj0000525050(PQKBManifestationID)11913805(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000525050(PQKBWorkID)10504084(PQKB)11669816(MiAaPQ)EBC700553(EXLCZ)99267000000009221620131014d2011|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtccrProblem Solving for Process Operators and Specialists[electronic resource]Hoboken Wiley20111 online resource (343 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-470-62774-3 PROBLEM SOLVING FOR PROCESS OPERATORS AND SPECIALISTS; CONTENTS; PREFACE; 1: INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS; 2: LIMITATIONS TO PLANT PROBLEM SOLVING; 3: SUCCESSFUL PLANT PROBLEM SOLVING; 4: EXAMPLES OF PLANT PROBLEM SOLVING; 5: FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING FOR PROCESS OPERATORS; 6: DEVELOPMENT OF WORKING HYPOTHESES; 7: APPLICATION TO PRIME MOVERS; 8: APPLICATION TO PLATE PROCESSES; 9: APPLICATION TO KINETICALLY LIMITED PROCESSES; 10: APPLICATION TO UNSTEADY STATE; 11: VERIFICATION OF PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION DATA; 12: SUCCESSFUL PLANT TESTS; 13: UTILIZATION OF MANUAL COMPUTATION TECHNIQUES14: PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER15: A FINAL NOTE; APPENDIX: CONVERSION FACTORS; REFERENCES; INDEXThis book provides methods to train process operators to solve challenging problems. The book is split into two parts. The first part consists of two parts; first developing a daily monitoring system and second providing a structured 5 step problem solving approach that combines cause and effect problem solving thinking with the formulation of theoretically correct hypotheses. The 5 step approach emphasizes the classical problem solving approach (defining the sequence of events) with the addition of the steps of formulating a theoretically correct working hypothesis, providing a means to test Chemical engineeringChemical engineering - Problems, exercises, etcChemical engineering - Quality controlChemical engineering --Problems, exercises, etcChemical engineering --Quality controlChemical processes - Mathematical modelsChemical processes --Mathematical modelsEngineering mathematicsEngineering mathematics --FormulaeProblem solvingProblem solvingChemical engineeringQuality controlProblems, exercises, etcChemical engineeringMathematical modelsFormulaeChemical processesProblem solvingEngineering mathematicsChemical & Materials EngineeringHILCCEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCChemical EngineeringHILCCChemical engineering.Chemical engineering - Problems, exercises, etc.Chemical engineering - Quality control.Chemical engineering --Problems, exercises, etc.Chemical engineering --Quality control.Chemical processes - Mathematical models.Chemical processes --Mathematical models.Engineering mathematics.Engineering mathematics --Formulae.Problem solving.Problem solving.Chemical engineeringQuality controlChemical engineeringMathematical modelsChemical processesProblem solvingEngineering mathematicsChemical & Materials EngineeringEngineering & Applied SciencesChemical Engineering660.28660/.28Bonem J.
