Structural Analysis of Regular MultiStorey Buildings
University of Hawaii, Honolulu, USA
Karoly A. Zalka
Lian Duan
This guide deals with two categories of multi-storey structures, namely individual bracing units and of whole 3D structures. The book can be used for the plane stress, stability and frequency analysis of individual bracing units such as frameworks, coupled shear walls and cores. It can also be used for the 3dimensional stress, stability and frequency analysis of whole buildings consisting of such bracing units. The closed-form solutions in the book may also prove to be useful at the preliminary design stage when quick checks are needed with different structural arrangements. MathCAD worksheets can be downloaded from the book’s accompanying website.
This comprehensive and up-to-date second edition covers bridge engineering and design practices around the world. Countries covered include US, Canada, Brazil, UK, Germany, France, Demark, Spain, Italy, Russia, Romania, Czech Republic, the Ukraine, China, Japan, Korea, India, Iran, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Egypt. The book examines the use of different materials for each region, including timber, concrete, steel, and composite. It examines various bridge types, including slab, girder, segmental, truss, arch, suspension, and cable-stayed. A color insert illustrates select landmark bridges.

Kaiser Engineers, Inc., UK
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
This book analyses the behavior of two steel framed structures and their structural elements subjected to complex dynamic forces under the actions of earthquake motions and vibrations due to dynamic forces created by the effects of an unbalanced rotating mass of machines. The author takes readers through the process in a simple and lucid way with a step-by-step approach stating the design philosophy, design considerations and clarifying the referred clauses of the code of practice, complemented by design sketches and tables.
Though traditionally this subject falls within structural engineering, motion structures are more closely related to other mechanisms, and they draw on the principles of kinematic and geometrical analysis in their design. Indeed their design and analysis can be viewed as an extension of the theory of mechanisms, such as rigid origami, and can make effective use of a wealth of mathematical principles. This book outlines the relevant underlying theory and motion structural concepts, and uses a number of innovative but simple structures as examples.

In recent decades, structural health monitoring systems have been developed to measure the loading environment and responses of long span suspension bridges in order to assess serviceability and safety while tracking the symptoms of operational incidents and potential damage. This helps ensure the bridge functions properly during a long service life and guards against catastrophic failure under extreme events. This book systematically introduces the fundamentals and outlines the advanced technologies for achieving effective long-term monitoring.
A concise reference for anyone studying to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam or preparing to work in collaborative engineering projects, this book covers the basic knowledge necessary for engineering design. It discusses Prevention through Design and offers a condensed introduction to the fundamentals of statics, dynamics, vibrations, and strength of materials. The book also includes examples of design applications that integrate the topics covered in the chapters.

The study of fracture mechanics of concrete has developed to the point where it can be used for assessing the durability of concrete structures and for the development of new concrete materials. This book includes examples of fracture analyses at the micro- and mesolevel, presents models accompanied by reliable experiments, and explains how these experiments are performed. It also provides examples of test methods and requirements for evaluating quasi-brittle materials. The author proposes a new modeling approach based on multiscale interaction potential and examines the challenges facing research engineers and building professionals.
When produced correctly, concrete can be extremely strong, with high load-bearing capacity and superior durability. Another noteworthy property is the relatively low amount of energy and resources consumed during production. This book brings together the results of a major research project exploring the properties, performance, and potential of super-highstrength high-performance (SHSHP) concrete. A systematic study of the aspects of this essential commodity and the future direction of concrete science and technology, this is a valuable resource for material scientists and engineers engaged in developing better structures.

Based on the groundbreaking work of Adeli, this book introduces the mathematical concept of wavelets into the field of structural vibration control. It presents a control algorithm for robust control of smart civil structures subjected to destructive environmental forces, such as earthquakes and wind. It then discusses a hybrid control system, the hybrid tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) system. This methodology, which combines passive and semiactive control systems, is intended to achieve increased reliability and maximum operability of the control system during power failure and to eliminate the need for a larger power requirement.

Spatial Variation of Seismic Ground Motions Modeling and Engineering Applications
Edited by
Ahmed Y. Elghazouli
Aspasia Zerva Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides coverage from seismological and engineering, deterministic and stochastic, and physical and mathematical points of view. The author describes the estimation of spatial variability from recorded data, its physical interpretation, and the development of spatial variability/coherency models. She uses random variation analysis to illustrate the effect of differential ground motions on the quasi-static and dynamic response of extended structures. Worked-out applications demonstrate the significance of seismic ground strains and differential motions on the seismic response of foundations, bridges, and dams.

Due to fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques, offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a specialty. The early chapters of this critical volume provide a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques, and interpretation of soil behavior. The book then examines the geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations, and anchoring systems. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book also examines the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines, and geohazards. The final section explores general concepts surrounding design and reliability in the offshore environment.

John A. Hudson
McMaster University, Canada
Imperial College, London, UK
The book presents a concise, yet reasonably comprehensive, overview of fundamental notions of plasticity in relation to geomechanics. It provides readers with a general background in soil/rock plasticity and, as such, should be perceived as an introduction to the broad area of inelastic response of geomaterials. It outlines basic concepts and fundamental postulates, followed by a review of the elastic-perfectly plastic formulations in geomechancis. It discusses isotropic strain-hardening framework and isotropic-kinematic hardening rules.
This reference book provides the knowledge required for a clear understanding of the process of rock failure under different conditions. It explains the role of rock failure in engineering projects, a summary of the theories governing rock failure and an explanation of the computer simulation method. It then explains, simulates, and illustrates rock failure in the laboratory and in the field. The book also discusses coupled modelling and the anticipated future directions for this type of computer simulation. The appendix describes the RFPA numerical model (Rock Failure Process Analysis program) used to explain the rock failure mechanisms.
