Stability of Structures: Elastic, Inelastic, Fracture and Damage Theories

Stability of Structures: Elastic, Inelastic, Fracture and Damage Theories 

Zdenek P Bazant

Preference :

Failures of many engineering structures fall into one of two simple categories: (1) material failure and (2) structural instability. The first type of failure, treated in introductory courses on the strength of materials and structural mechanics, can usually be adequately predicted by analyzing the structure on the basis of equilibrium conditions or equations of motion that are written for the initial, undeformed configuration of the structure. By contrast, the prediction of failures due to structural instability requires equations of equilibrium or motion to be formulated on the basis of the deformed configuration of the structure. Since the deformed configuration is not known in advance but depends on the deflections to be solved, the problem is in principle nonlinear, although frequently it can be linearized in order to facilitate analysis.

Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures

Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures 

G.A. Rombach

Preference :

Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures: practical problems and their solutions the author addresses this 'blind belief' in computer results by offering a useful critique that 'important details are overlooked due to the flood of information' from the output of computer calculations. Indeed, errors in the numerical model may lead in extreme cases to structural failures like the collapse of the so-called Sleipner platform has demonstrated. Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures: practical problems and their solutions highlight that complex numerical calculation should not be used to compensate for any lack of practical knowledge of the structural behavior of a structure.

Structural and Stress Analysis, 3rd Edition

Structural and Stress Analysis, 3rd Edition 

T.H.G. Megson

Preference :

The purpose of this book is to provide, in a unified form, a text covering the associated topics of structural and stress analysis for students of civil engineering during the first two years of their degree course. The book is also intended for students studying for Higher National Diplomas, Higher National Certificates, and related courses in civil engineering. Frequently, textbooks on these topics concentrate on structural analysis or stress analysis, and often they are lectured as two separate courses. There is, however, a degree of overlap between the two subjects, and, moreover, they are closely related. In this book, therefore, they are presented in a unified form which illustrates their interdependence. This is particularly important at the first-year level where there is a tendency for students to ‘compartmentalize’ subjects so that an overall appreciation of the subject is lost.

Structural Analysis Principles, Methods and Modelling

Structural Analysis  Principles, Methods, and Modelling 

Andrew Watts

Preference :

Structural engineering involves the analysis and design of structures and is one of the core sub-disciplines of civil engineering. Civil engineering structures take a variety of forms and include buildings, bridges, towers, marine structures, dams, tunnels, retaining walls and other infrastructure. The most common materials used for the construction of these structures are concrete, steel and timber, although a variety of other materials are used including stone, aluminium, polymers, carbon fibre, glass and many more. Structural engineering underpins and sustains the built environment, where bridges, buildings and other structures must be safe, serviceable, durable, aesthetically pleasing and economical. It is concerned primarily in developing structural solutions to resist loads and other forces, and in devising ways to provide safe load paths for these forces. It is an applied science, founded on mathematical laws and physical concepts applied to engineering materials, both traditional and advanced, for the provision of infrastructure and technological innovation. The demands of new and existing structures imposed by society and by economics and the use of new or advanced materials require solutions that challenge and unite creativity and scientific rigour.

Design Of Intze Water Tank Free Excel Sheet

 DESIGN  OF INTZE WATER TANK 

A water tank is used to store water to tide over the daily requirement. In the construction of concrete structures for the storage of water and other liquids, the imperviousness of concrete is most essential.  Design of liquid retaining structure has to be based on the avoidance of cracking in the concrete having regard to its tensile strength.  Cracks can be prevented by avoiding the use of thick timber shuttering which prevents the easy escape of heat of hydration from the concrete mass the risk of cracking can also be minimized by reducing the restraints on free expansion or contraction of the structure.

Building a Successful Construction Company

Building a Successful Construction Company

Netscher, Paul

Preference :

Many people think there’s lots of easy money to be made in construction. They may be working for a construction company and see owners and senior managers driving expensive cars, or they hear of companies doing well and declaring big profits. It seems to be a fast way to make money. So, many good tradesmen give up their jobs, invest their life savings, and start their own construction business. Unfortunately, the truth is that for every rich and successful person in the construction industry there are probably at least ten others, business owners and managers, who aren’t as successful, working long hours and taking home an average salary. Furthermore, there are probably several business owners who’ve lost their companies and are once more working for a boss, sometimes even in another industry. Nearly all of these people are skilled and knowledgeable and I’m sure every one of them worked hard. Many of them probably even completed successful projects, and yet, their company wasn’t successful and eventually collapsed.

    Project Recovery: Case Studies and Techniques for Overcoming Project Failure 

    Harold Kerzner

    Preference :

    Most people have a relatively poor understanding of what is meant by proj- ect success and project failure. As an example, let’s assume you purchase a new car that contains a lot of electronic gadgetry. After a few days, some of the electronics fail to work correctly. Was the purchase of the new car a success or a failure? Most people would refer to this as a glitch or small problem that can be corrected. If the problem is corrected, then you would consider the purchase of the new car as a success.

    Project Risk Management Guidelines

    Project Risk Management Guidelines 

    Dale F. Cooper

    Preference :

    The risk management processes described in this book had their genesis well over 20 years ago when I accepted a position at the University of Southampton. There I met and worked with Dr. Chris Chapman, already an acknowledged expert in project risk, with an established relationship with BP and an extensive client base in Canada. Chris involved me in his consulting activities in North America, primarily associated with quantitative risk analyses of large projects in the hydroelectric and the oil and gas industries. This was a time of innovation, as there were few protocols or models for the kinds of risk analyses that were required for these projects, and the quantitative calculations used a form of numerical integration called the Controlled Interval and Memory approach, developed by Chris, that was implemented in bespoke software. We had to develop different model structures and forms of analysis, and new software had to be written on some occasions to accommodate the new structures. It was highly stimulating, at times exhausting, and great fun, and I learned a huge amount from Chris and the clients with whom we worked.
