The books were originally published in Italian as Scienza delle costruzioni (Science of Constructions) by Nicola Zanichelli Editore between 1947 and 1958. They were later translated into Spanish by Aguilar in 1967-1971. The Spanish edition is composed of four volumes, each with a different number of chapters:
Tomo I: IntroducciÃn a la ciencia de la construcciÃn. TeorÃa de las estructuras isostÃticas. (Introduction to the science of construction. Theory of isostatic structures.) It has 36 chapters and 686 pages.
Tomo II: TeorÃa de las estructuras hiperestÃticas. (Theory of hyperstatic structures.) It has 28 chapters and 624 pages.
Tomo III: Elementos de teorÃa de la elasticidad con aplicaciones. Las placas planas. (Elements of elasticity theory with applications. Flat plates.) It has 24 chapters and 608 pages.
Tomo IV: Las cÃscaras elÃsticas. Estabilidad de las estructuras elÃsticas. (Elastic shells. Stability of elastic structures.) It has 20 chapters and 576 pages.
The books are written in a clear and rigorous style, with numerous examples, figures, tables, and exercises. They are suitable for students, teachers, and professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of structural mechanics and design. The books are also available online in PDF format for free download.
Ciencia de la construcciÃn is a valuable contribution to the scientific literature of civil engineering and architecture. It reflects the author's extensive experience and expertise in the field. It is a testament to his passion for teaching and research.
