Structural and System Reliability
, University of California, Berkeley
Online ISBN: 9781108991889
Online publication date:
13 January 2022
Based on material taught at the University of California, Berkeley, this textbook offers a modern, rigorous and comprehensive treatment of the methods of structural and system reliability analysis. It covers the first- and second-order reliability methods for components and systems, simulation methods, time- and space-variant reliability, and Bayesian parameter estimation and reliability updating. It also presents more advanced, state-of-the-art topics such as finite-element reliability methods, stochastic structural dynamics, reliability-based optimal design, and Bayesian networks. A wealth of well-designed examples connect theory with practice, with simple examples demonstrating mathematical concepts and larger examples demonstrating their applications. End-of-chapter homework problems are included throughout. Including all necessary background material from probability theory, and accompanied online by a solutions manual and PowerPoint slides for instructors, this is the ideal text for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses on structural and system reliability in departments of civil, environmental and mechanical engineering.

Introducing Second Language Assessment
, Iowa State University
Online ISBN: 9781009067461
Online publication date:
13 November 2024
Hardback ISBN: 9781316512487

Many books have been written on the topic of second language assessment, but few are easily accessible for both students and practicing language teachers. This textbook provides an up-to-date and engaging introduction to this topic, using anecdotal and real-world examples to illustrate key concepts and principles. It seamlessly connects qualitative and quantitative approaches and the use of technologies, including generative AI, to language assessment development and analysis for students with little background in these areas. Hands-on activities, exercises, and discussion questions provide opportunities for application and reflection, and the inclusion of additional resources and detailed appendices cements understanding. Ancillary resources are available including datasets and videos for students, PowerPoint teaching slides and a teacher's guide for instructors. Packed with pedagogy, this is an invaluable resource for both first and second language speakers of English, students on applied linguistics or teacher education courses, and practicing teachers of any language.
