involve the study of how soils behave under stress, using principles from fluid and solid mechanics to analyze their strength, compressibility, and permeability. Key concepts include effective stress, shear strength, and consolidation, which are crucial for the safe design of civil engineering structures like foundations and slopes. The field applies these principles to real-world problems in a…

This textbook is designed to help engineering students acquire a precise understanding of the matrix development methods and its underlying concepts and principles, and to acquire experience in developing well-structured programs. A distinguishing feature of this class-tested textbook is its integrated instruction of structured programming and the matrix development method. Focusing on principl…
This paper reports the findings of experimental study to investigate the structural behaviour of bamboo-reinforced foamed concrete slab with polyvinyl waste as partial replacement of fine aggregates. The structural properties studied were: compressive strength, density, crack development pattern and propagation, failure pattern, load–deflection characteristics and the ultimate moment. Compres…
or Matrix Structural Analysis (MSA), is a fundamental systematic procedure in modern engineering for analyzing the behavior of complex structures like beams, frames, and trusses using matrices and linear algebra. This approach replaces traditional, more laborious methods (e.g., classical force or displacement methods) with a unified, efficient computational framework, particularly suited for co…
Prestressed concrete structures, such as storage tanks for liquefied gases, may be exposed to severe thermal loading. Inner tank leakage in case of LNG storage implies exposure of the inner face of the concrete wall to a temperature of -165 ºC. In another situation surface temperatures up to 600 ºC can be reached on the dome roof in case of fire. Thermal loading differs from mechanical loadin…

This edition presents the basic theory in prestressed concrete similar to the second edition. The method of load balancing is discussed side by side with the working-load and the ultimate-load methods, forming a tripod for prestressed concrete design
