The Railway Transition Spiral (Classic Reprint) by Arthur N. Talbot Pdf

Excerpt from The Railway Transition Spiral The treatment herein given has been quite widely used on the railroads of the United States, and many engineers have commended its simplicity, convenience, and flexibility. The methods and principles are readily taken up by instrument men, and the field work has proved little more difficult than that for circular curves. The use of a regular rate of transition per 100 feet of spiral is advantageous, and the tables are in convenient form.

The Transition Spiral by Arthur Lovat Higgins Pdf

Excerpt from The Transition Spiral: And Its Introduction to Railway Curves With Field Exercises in Construction and Alignment The aim of this handbook is to afford concise and complete demonstration of the introduction of transition curves, or spirals, in the various argument problems that accrue in connection with the construction or improvement of railway curves. Now the extent to which such problems can be satisfactorily essayed depends upon the mathematical development of the form of transition adopted, and the facility with which this development admits utilisation in the field - the effective compromise of mathematical truth with practical precision. Hence, besides fulfilling its objective function, the ideal transition curve must be easy and flexible in construction; a curve with simple, definite relations to main curves and straights; and, above all, one which can be introduced without the aid of special tables, such as hamper the construction of American tabular spirals. The curve most readily amenable to these requirements is to be found in the clothoid = m the spiral advanced and investigated in this connection by Mr. James Glover, M.A., A.M.I.C.E., in a paper read to the Institution of Civil Engineers.

The Adult Learner by Malcolm S. Knowles,Elwood F. Holton III,Richard A. Swanson,Petra A. Robinson Pdf

How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids. For each chapter, there will be a PowerPoint presentation, learning exercises, and added study questions. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
