Introduction to Structural Analysis

Dynamics of Structures

Displacement and Force Methods

J. Humar

S.T. Mau California State University, Northridge, USA

This indispensable text bridges the gap between what is traditionally taught in textbooks and classrooms and what is actually practiced in engineering firms. It clearly and linearly details every solution method in the framework of the traditional force method and the matrix displacement method of analysis. The book covers influence lines, non-prismatic members, composite structures, secondary stress analysis, and the limits of linear and static structural analysis.

Integrating classical and modern methodologies, it explains complicated analysis using simplified methods and numerous examples and provides an understanding of the underlying methodologies of finite element analysis.

The web of structural mechanics is so finely woven that it hides the role of experience in design, leading to high levels of risk. An exploration of essential design and construction details of safe structures, Understanding Structures: An Introduction to Structural Analysis explains how buildings and bridges resist gravity, wind, and earthquake loads. Employing an interactive presentation of topics, it spans elementary concepts, from force in trusses to bending of beams and the response of multi-story, multi-bay frames. Because simulation is critical to the design and construction of safe structures, this text features free access to GOYA software, which runs easily on JAVA-enabled systems. Developed by the authors to improve understanding of structures through repetition, GOYA enables readers to solve problems of increasing complexity with relative ease, thereby expediting the process of safe structure design.

Features: • Provides an understanding of structural response through numerous interactive computer simulations • Presents information in both SI and Imperial/FPS units • Uses the GOYA software to demonstrate how to reach quantitative and graphical solutions to structural response problems • Covers topics in trusses, the bending of beams, and the response of multistory, multi-bay frames

Geomatics Engineering

Coastal Engineering Processes, Theory and Design Practice, Second Edition Dominic Reeve, Andrew Chadwick, and Christopher Fleming “The extent of coverage is impressive. As well as being a useful reference book in its own right, it is extremely useful to have a single starting-point for graduates... the book is well structured and easy to use.”

—S. Sinclair, Maritime Engineering

Historically, much harm has been done by wellmeaning coastal engineering attempts, which seemed like good ideas on paper but which failed to allow for practical issues. For this reason, it is vital that theories and models are well grounded in practice. With an emphasis on practice and detailed modeling, this is a thorough introduction to all aspects of coastal processes, morphology, and design of coastal defenses. It describes numerous case studies to illustrate the successful application of mathematical modeling in realworld practice. This is a must-have book for engineering students looking to specialize in coastal engineering and management.

Recursive Streamflow Forecasting A State Space Approach József Szilágyi Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary & University of Nebraska, USA

András Szöllösi-Nagy UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

Recursive Streamflow Forecasting: A State Space Approach is a textbook and practical guide to real-time streamflow forecasting. It provides a rigorous description of a coupled stochastic and physically-based flow routing method and its practical applications. This method is used to forecast flood levels. By knowing in advance when, where, and at what level a river will crest, appropriate protection works can be organized, reducing casualties and property damage.

Providing real-life case examples and problem listings, the book teaches hydrology and civil engineering students and water-resources practitioners the physical forecasting model and then enables them to apply it directly in real-life problems involving streamflow simulation and forecasting. Designed as a textbook for courses on Hydroinformatics and Water Management, it includes exercises. A CD-ROM with MATLAB® codes for the simulation of streamflows and the creation of real-time hydrological forecasts is also included.

Selected Contents: Introduction Overview of continuous flow routing techniques State-space descriptions of the spatially discretized linear kinematic wave State-space descriptions of the continuous Kalinin-Milyukov-Nash (KMN) cascade State-space descriptions of the discrete linear cascade model (DLCM) and its properties: the pulse-data system approach The sample-data system approach DLCM and stream-aquifer interactions Handling of model-error: the deterministicstochastic model and its prediction updating June 2010, 212 pp.

Third Edition

Carlos A. Smith and Scott W. Campbell

Bilal M. Ayyub and Richard H. McCuen

University of South Florida, Tampa, USA

University of Maryland, College Park, USA

Emphasizing a practical approach for engineers and scientists, this text avoids overly theoretical explanations and shows readers how differential equations are derived by applying basic physical principles and experimental observations to engineering systems. This resource also covers classical methods for obtaining the analytical solution of differential equations and Laplace transforms. In addition, the authors discuss how these equations describe mathematical systems and how to use software to solve sets of equations in which analytical solutions cannot be determined. Numerical values are provided in all examples and problems.

The third edition of this bestselling text presents probability, statistics, reliability, and risk methods with an ideal balance of theory and applications.

It places increased emphasis on simulation, particularly as a modeling tool, applying it progressively with projects that continue in each chapter.

This edition also features expanded discussions of the analysis of variance and a thorough treatment of Monte Carlo simulation. The authors show that data analysis is a continuum rather than the isolated application of different methods.
