This classic book provides an overview of the methods, equipment, and materials used in the construction of large commercial buildings. Each chapter covers the principles and practices of a particular aspect of the construction process?from site layout to building finishes?supporting discussions with a wealth of clear, captivating illustrations. All review problems at the end of chapters 3, 5, 6, 7, and 15 and all tables and details throughout the book are now provided in both standard and metric units. Information is presented within a logical framework focusing on construction processes and the properties of materials, followed by an individual discussion of the most widely used materials. Current construction techniques are illustrated and described. Reference standards established by both the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and the American Concrete Institute (ACI). Tests for ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade 1 Certification Program are included. Worked examples are included. For those interested in exploring field of commercial construction.

Mechanics Second Edition P. Smith Department of Mathematics University of Keele, UK and R.C. Smith Open University, UK A revised and updated edition of the authors' highly successful earlier book, this introductory text on Mechanics is designed to give a thorough grounding in particle dynamics and elementary rigid body dynamics. Aimed at first degree students in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering, the book is largely self-contained, including the necessary vector calculus, as well as background differential equations and numerical methods. Topics covered include kinematics, the principles of mechanics, work and energy, rocket dynamics, linear vibration theory, orbits, non-linear dynamics, and rotating frames. The theory and explanation are backed up by more than 360 examples and problems, with many worked through in full in the text. In this new edition, the chapter on vibrations has been completely revised and divided into two, and the original chapter on linear theory has been extended to include normal modes of multiple systems. A completely new chapter on non-linear dynamics has been added to illustrate such phenomena as limit cycles, period doubling and chaos in dynamical systems. Chapters on applications of particle dynamics and differential equations have also been re-organized. The text now includes many computer-generated diagrams.

Smart Material Structures addresses modeling parameter estimation and control in smart material systems. This has applications in structural systems, structural acoustics, fluid/structure interactions, vibration absorbers in machine, helicopter rotor design, and many other areas. This monograph discusses implementation and experimental changes with rigorous mathematical presentation. The authors provide a mathematical frame to be used when designing controllers, focusing on systems in which structural vibrations or interactions with adjacent fields are controlled using surface-mounted Piezoceramic actuators and sensors are correct in detail.

Who are the Overcomers? King Jesus has made many powerful promises to His called, chosen, and faithful followers, however, none more spectacular than what He promised the overcomers! (Revelation vs 2:7) To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God. (vs 2:11) will not be hurt by the second death. (2:17) to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it. (vs 2:26-28) and he who keeps My deeds until the end, To him I will give authority over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star. (vs 3:5) will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. (vs 3:12) I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. (vs 3:21) I will grant him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (vs 21:7) will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. This book reveals the true overcomers. After more than twenty-five years in the construction industry and a very dramatic encounter with the Lord, I answered the call and transitioned into that calling as we were led by the Holy Spirit. Following the completion of one year in a local Bible school in 2009, in obedience we left our jobs to attend Rhema Bible Training College for the following two years, thus graduation in May of 2012. After completing our training, we moved to west Africa as missionaries preaching and teaching the Word of God. Since that season, we have endeavored to follow the leading of our Lord to various locations and assignments here in America and Africa. Our Teacher, the Holy Spirit, as revealed many Truths to us in the Word and these books are our attempt to share some of those Truths with whomever has eyes to see and ears to hear. We love our best friend Jesus and our heart's desire is to make Him known throughout the world, thus; we shall continue to serve Him until our life here on earth is over, or He returns for His overcomers. Amen.

This book offers one of the most comprehensive studies of social pathology to date, following a cross-disciplinary and methodologically innovative approach. It is written for anyone concerned with understanding current social conditions, individual health, and how we might begin to collectively conceive of a more reconciled postcapitalist world.Drawing reference from the most up-to-date studies, Smith crosses disciplinary boundaries from cognitive science and anthropology to critical theory, systems theory and psychology. Opening with an empirical account of numerous interlinked carises from mental health to the physiological effects of environmental pollution, Smith argues that mainstream sociological theories of pathology are deeply inadequate. Smith introduces an alternative critical conception of pathology that drills to the core of how and why society is deeply ailing. The book concludes with a detailed account of why a progressive and critical vision of social change requires a “holistic view” of individual and societal transformation. Such a view is grounded in the awareness that a sustainable transition to postcapitalism is ultimately a many-sided (social, individual, and structural) healing process.
