materials begin to deform plastically. Before the prior of yield strength the materials deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed. The knowledge of this is important for engineers especially who are in structural engineering. This is because when designing a structure such as building or bridge with construction materials like steel beam‚ it is compulsory to work out all of the forces that will act on it. From this‚ we can determine and choose the correct

Access the contribution of functionalism to our understanding of the society The key concepts within functionalism are collective conscience‚ that all of society must have shared values and beliefs as it is crucial to achieve social order for the well being of society‚ they believe that this can be achieved through value consensus‚ that for society to live in consensus it must socialise its members into a set of norms and values to ensure society can work harmoniously and to meet it’s basic needs

Definitions There are three categories of support systems based on their intended functional life: permanent‚ temporary‚ and interim. 1. Permanent: A permanent system provides a structural support function for the life of the facility. 2. Temporary: A temporary system is designed to provide structural support during construction‚ and is removed when construction is complete. 3. Interim: An interim system is identical to a temporary system in function‚ except it remains in place (although

Impact of Structural Adjustment Program in Uganda Submitted to S.M.HumayunKabir Submitted by Md. FazlurRahman Roll: BB-04 Date of Submission: 26 April 2012 When President Yoweri Musevini came to power in Uganda in 1986‚ his government faced the challenge of rebuilding an economy devastated by the dictatorships of Idi Amin and Milton Obote. Between 1971 and 1986‚ the Ugandan economy deteriorated. But in the ten years that followed (between 1986-1996)‚ per capita GDP grew by roughly 40%. The IMF

a. Social problems result from the ways in which society operates: connect this to the 3 sociological theories on how society is viewed to “operate”. There are many different opinions on what causes poverty. For instance‚ according to the structural functionalist perspective‚ poverty is caused by institutional breakdown. Examples of this are economic institutions that don’t provide enough jobs or pay‚ education institutions that don’t provide the members of society with enough education and skills

Footings are structural members used to support columns and walls and to transmit and distribute their loads to the soil in such a way that the load bearing capacity of the soil is not exceeded‚ excessive settlement‚ differential settlement‚or rotation are prevented and adequate safety against overturning or sliding is maintained. A foundation is the lowest and supporting layer of a structure. Foundations are generally divided into two categories: shallow foundations and deep foundations.
