Examines computerized structural analysis methods for buildings, bridges, and other structures, with special emphasis on current practices. Covers the stiffness analysis of frames, the flexibility method, virtual work principles, special analysis procedures, and more. Defines the terminology, coordinate systems, and fundamental concepts of structural behavior, laying the foundation for the stud…
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…
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…
The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate civil engineering students and explains the principles for designing steel and timber structures, including their components like tension and compression members, beams, and connections, in accordance with relevant design codes. Target Audience: Civil and Structural Engineering undergraduate and postgraduate students. Subject Matter: An…
The purpose of the book is to demonstrate to the beginner how to make first assumptions, how to select initial sections, and what procedures to follow after making a first choice so as to arrive at a final design. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Subject topics: Principles of prestressed concrete Subject layout: Prestressing may be defined as the purposeful and controlled creation of permanent stresses in a structural member, before the full dead and live loads are applied, so as to counteract all or part of these loads. It serves two main purposes: to improve the resistance of the member to the dead and live loads (service load) and to…
