Admittance parametersAdmittance parameters or Y-parameters (the elements of an admittance matrix or Y-matrix) are properties used in many areas of electrical engineering, such as power, electronics, and telecommunications. These parameters are used to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks. They are also used to describe the small-signal (linearized) response of non-linear networks. Y parameters are also known as short circuited admittance parameters.
Béton de cimentthumb|upright=1.0|Un mètre cube de béton (représentant la production mondiale annuelle de béton par habitant). Le béton de ciment, couramment appelé béton, est un mélange de ciment, de granulats, d'eau et d'adjuvants. Histoire du béton de ciment Ciment Le ciment se compose essentiellement de chaux, de silice, d'alumine et d'oxyde de fer combinés au silicate et aluminate de calcium. Les différents ciments résultent du mélange de clinker, de calcaire, de laitier et de cendres volantes (qui sont des composés à effet pouzzolanique, mais non considérés comme des pouzzolanes).
Prestressed concretePrestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. This compression is produced by the tensioning of high-strength "tendons" located within or adjacent to the concrete and is done to improve the performance of the concrete in service. Tendons may consist of single wires, multi-wire strands or threaded bars that are most commonly made from high-tensile steels, carbon fiber or aramid fiber.
Gros œuvreLe gros œuvre est l'ensemble des éléments de construction d'un édifice qui lui assure la reprise de tous les efforts subis, soit en permanence (le poids propre de l'édifice), soit temporairement, de manière variable (vent, neige, séisme, tassement du sol) ou même, éventuellement, accidentelle (chocs, incendie). Le gros œuvre rassemble tout ce qui concourt à la solidité, à la stabilité de l'édifice : fondations, murs porteurs, poteaux, poutres, planchers entre les étages, etc.
Engineering managementEngineering management is the application of the practice of management to the practice of engineering. Engineering management is a career that brings together the technological problem-solving ability of engineering and the organizational, administrative, legal and planning abilities of management in order to oversee the operational performance of complex engineering-driven enterprises. A Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is sometimes compared to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) for professionals seeking a graduate degree as a qualifying credential for a career in engineering management.
Fire safetyFire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce destruction caused by fire. Fire safety measures include those that are intended to prevent the ignition of an uncontrolled fire and those that are used to limit the spread and impact of a fire. Fire safety measures include those that are planned during the construction of a building or implemented in structures that are already standing and those that are taught or provided to occupants of the building. Threats to fire safety are commonly referred to as fire hazards.
IntelliCADIntelliCAD is a CAD editor and development platform with an Application Programming Interface API published by the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium ("ITC") through shared development. IntelliCAD emulates the basic interface and functions of AutoCAD, however, it is particularly able to incorporate and interchange freely between a wide variety of file types (i.e. dwg., BIM, TIFF, etc.).
Bétonthumb|Aspect hétérogène de la surface d'un béton de ciment, appelé communément béton, et constitué de ciment, d'eau et de granulats fins (sable) et grossiers (graviers). Le béton est un assemblage de matériaux de nature généralement minérale. Il met en présence des matières inertes, appelées granulats ou agrégats (graviers, gravillons, sables), et un liant (ciment, bitume, argile), c'est-à-dire une matière susceptible d'en agglomérer d'autres ainsi que des adjuvants qui modifient les propriétés physiques et chimiques du mélange.
Ingénieur civilUn ingénieur civil est un ingénieur dont la particularité correspond à des statuts différents selon l'époque et le pays. Génie (technique)Jusqu'à la première révolution industrielle, les ingénieurs étaient bien souvent issus d'écoles d'origine militaire et étaient chargés principalement du génie militaire qui englobait alors bien souvent toutes les tâches associées comme la construction, les fortifications, les routes et ponts, les voies navigables.
Visualisation scientifiqueLa visualisation scientifique, ou l’usage de graphiques scientifiques, est l'étude et/ou la réalisation de la représentation sous forme graphique de résultats scientifiques. Cette visualisation est donc intimement liée aux sciences et à l'informatique. Il existe une gamme complète de matériels destinés à la visualisation scientifique. Il existe sur le marché des postes personnels de type PC équipé avec une ou plusieurs cartes graphiques permettant de faire de la visualisation scientifique.
Precast concretePrecast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and maneuvered into place; examples include precast beams, and wall panels for tilt up construction. In contrast, cast-in-place concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on site. Recently lightweight expanded polystyrene foam is being used as the cores of precast wall panels, saving weight and increasing thermal insulation.
Visualization (graphics)Visualization or visualisation (see spelling differences) is any technique for creating s, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of humanity. from history include cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek geometry, and Leonardo da Vinci's revolutionary methods of technical drawing for engineering and scientific purposes. Visualization today has ever-expanding applications in science, education, engineering (e.
