  2. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Plasticity theory can be used for some reinforced concrete structures assuming they are underreinforced, meaning that the steel reinforcement fails before the concrete does. Plasticity theory states that the point at which a structure collapses (reaches yield) lies between an upper and a lower bound on the load, defined as follows:

  3. Glossary of structural engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_structural...

    Earthquake engineering – is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that designs and analyzes structures, such as buildings and bridges, with earthquakes in mind. Its overall goal is to make such structures more resistant to earthquakes. Earthquake-resistant structures – Earthworks (engineering) – Edge jointing – Endurance time ...

  4. Homotopy lifting property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_lifting_property

    For example, a covering map has a property of unique local lifting of paths to a given sheet; the uniqueness is because the fibers of a covering map are discrete spaces. The homotopy lifting property will hold in many situations, such as the projection in a vector bundle, fiber bundle or fibration, where there need be no unique way of lifting.

    For example, the wide implementation of suburban railway networks and motor buses were expected to have proportionately impact the higher increases in periphery land prices. Contrastingly, it is expected that in periods of low innovation within the transport sector land values would have been proportionately higher closer to the city centre. [ 13 ]

    An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing.

    The Elizabeth line might just be the London Underground equivalent of an Oxford PPE graduate in the Tory cabinet: ie, a masterclass in failing upwards.. I say this because the newest Tube line ...

    To get a true view (length in the projection is equal to length in 3D space) of one of the lines: SU in this example, projection 3 is drawn with hinge line H 2,3 parallel to S 2 U 2. To get an end view of SU, projection 4 is drawn with hinge line H 3,4 perpendicular to S 3 U 3. The perpendicular distance d gives the shortest distance between PR ...

  9. Outline of architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_architecture

    Architecture is variously defined in conflicting ways, highlighting the difficulty of describing the scope of the subject precisely: [1] [2] [3] A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures – although not all buildings are generally considered to be architecture, and infrastructure (bridges, roads etc.) is civil engineering, not architecture.
