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…
The "Handbook of Composite Construction Engineering" (1979), edited by Gajanan M. Sabnis, provides a systematic exploration of composite construction techniques. It details topics like the mechanics of various composite structures, such as laminated and woven fabric composites, fracture mechanics, and processing methods, including molding, filament winding, and pultrusion. The book also covers …
This book provides an introduction to timber engineering, aimed at the student engineer or at the practitioner who needs an introduction or a refresher course on design in a material with which he is unfamiliar
discuss the design and construction of earthquake-resistant structures by integrating scientific and engineering knowledge to mitigate damage. They cover a range of topics including seismic hazard assessment, structural analysis, ground rupture simulation, and the use of computational approaches like AI and data fusion to improve prediction and mitigation of earthquake-related disasters. Some a…
This book has been compiled with a view to familiarise construction techniques for Airports, Docks and Harbours, Inland Waterways, Ropeways, Pipe Line Transportation and Bridges. Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Survey have also been included and Codes of Practice as recommended by I.S.I. and I.R.C. have been followed.
typically includes the problem and purpose, the methods used, key results, and conclusions. For example, an abstract for a book on highway engineering might describe it as a multidisciplinary field that integrates planning, safety, operations, and design, and covers topics like structural and geotechnical engineering, as described on
Buku ini membahas perencanaan pelabuhan secara komprehensif, mulai dari aspek geofisika lingkungan seperti dinamika bumi, gelombang, dan gempa bumi hingga komponen-komponen penting pelabuhan seperti dermaga, sistem penanganan muatan, dan sistem informasi. Buku ini dapat digunakan sebagai referensi oleh para praktisi dan mahasiswa yang ingin mempelajari tentang perencanaan infrastruktur pelabuhan.
The abstract for solutions to problems in soil mechanics focuses on applying fundamental principles to solve practical engineering issues, such as foundation settlement, slope stability, and soil liquefaction. Common solutions involve a combination of site investigation to understand soil conditions, soil improvement techniques like grouting or compaction, modified structural designs, and compu…
Strength of Materials - Part. 1: Elementary Theory and Problems contains the essential material that is usually covered in required courses of strength of materials in our engineering schools. Strength of Materials - Part. 2: Advanced Theory and Problems contains the later developments that are of practical importance in the fields of strength of materials, and theory of elasticity.
