Advanced Steel Design of Structures

Advanced Steel Design of Structures 

Srinivasan

Preference :

Advanced steel design explores the domain of research and understanding both analysis and design of steel structures in general and offshore compliant structures in particular. The convenience that steel possesses to recycling, repair, and retrofit in comparison to other construction materials, both commercial and eco-friendly points of view is one of the primary advantages. The material strength of steel beyond yield value intuits the plastic design of structures but also warrants about the permanent plastic deformation under excessive loading. A chapter in plastic design deals with a few examples, highlighting the basics.

The Finite Element Method: Its Basis and Fundamentals

The Finite Element Method: Its Basis and Fundamentals 

O. C. Zienkiewicz,

Preference :

The limitations of the human mind are such that it cannot grasp the behavior of its complex surroundings and creations in one operation. Thus the process of subdividing all systems into their individual components or “elements,” whose behavior is readily understood, and then rebuilding the original system from such components to study its behavior is a natural way in which the engineer, the scientist, or even the economist proceeds. In many situations, an adequate model is obtained using a finite number of well-defined components. We shall term such problems discrete. In others, the subdivision is continued indefinitely and the problem can only be defined using the mathematical fiction of an infinitesimal. This leads to differential equations or equivalent statements which imply an infinite number of elements. We shall term such systems continuous. With the advent of digital computers, discrete problems can generally be solved readily even if the number of elements is very large. As the capacity of all computers is finite, continuous problems can only be solved exactly by mathematical manipulation. The available mathematical techniques for exact solutions usually limit the possibilities of oversimplified situations.

Rotating Machinery Vibration From Analysis to Troubleshooting

Rotating Machinery Vibration From Analysis to Troubleshooting 

Maurice L. Adams

Preference :

Every spinning rotor has some vibration, at least a once-per-revolution frequency component because it is of course impossible to make any rotor perfectly mass balanced. Experience has provided guidelines for quantifying approximate comfortable safe upper limits for allowable vibration levels on virtually all types of rotating machinery. It is rarely disputed that such limits are crucial to machine durability, reliability, and life. However, the appropriate magnitude of such vibration limits for specific machinery is often disputed, with the vendor’s limit usually being higher than a prudent equipment purchaser’s wishes. Final payment for a new machine is occasionally put on hold, pending resolution of the machine’s failure to operate below the vibration upper limits prescribed in the purchase specifications.

Smart Buildings Systems for Architects, Owners and Builders

Smart Buildings Systems for Architects, Owners and Builders 

James M Sinopoli

Preference :

Technology has always influenced the buildings we build, and always will. Twenty-five to 30 years ago, however, the amount of technology in a building was minimal. It consisted of the public telecommunications utility installing its services in a building; a mechanical contractor installing a pneumatic control system for the heating, cooling, and ventilation system; and maybe a word-processing system. Although we have come a long way since those days, we are still in a very early stage of fully deploying and integrating technology systems into buildings. In due course, buildings will become full of technology. Walls and ceilings will be embedded with sensors, and every aspect of a building’s performance and use will be metered and measured. Software tools will be used to automatically optimize building systems without human intervention; real-time information about the building that is relevant to their particular needs will be provided to occupants and building management. Buildings will be fully interactive with the power grid, and geospatial location systems will be deployed for every building asset.

Pavement Engineering: Principles and Practice, Third Edition

Pavement Engineering: Principles and Practice, Third Edition 

El-Korchi

Preference :

Pavements are an essential part of our life. We use them as roads, runways, parking lots, and driveways. Pavements are engineered structures and are important for our everyday life, commerce and trade, and defense. Surface transportation is the most widely used mode of transportation in the world, and a country’s development is often measured in terms of its total paved road mileage. The construction of roads is and will continue to be a major industry in developing countries, and as the infrastructure matures, it will be a major industry in developed countries as well. Like any other engineered structure, pavements are expected to be adequately strong and durable for their design life. They are expected to function properly by providing a smooth traveling surface for the traffic under various conditions of the environment. In order to ensure this, pavements must be designed, constructed, maintained, and managed properly.

Durability Design of Concrete Structures: Phenomena, Modeling, and Practice

Durability Design of Concrete Structures: Phenomena, Modeling, and Practice 

Li, Kefei

Preference :

Durability is a term related to both performance and time, reflecting the degree to which a structure/infrastructure meets its intended functions for a given duration of time. This description applies to all types of structures and infrastructures in civil engineering. Actually, during service life, a structure displays time‐dependent behaviors by aging of the structural materials. The ageing processes can be intrinsic to the structural materials or induced by the interactions between the service conditions and the structural materials. This picture holds all structures and their constitutive materials. In fact, concrete structures have transient behaviors due to some well‐known time‐dependent properties of structural concrete, such as shrinkage and creep. Take creep, for example. Engineers had been challenged by this evolving property as early as the 1900s, the very beginning of concrete structures coming into use. During the following years the lack of consideration of creep, surely due to lack of knowledge, had caused some serious accidents in structural engineering;

Bridge Design and Evaluation LRFD and LRFR

Bridge Design and Evaluation LRFD and LRFR 

Gongkang Fu

Preference :

Human beings have been constructing bridges for about four thousand years. The oldest and still existing bridge in the world is perhaps the Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei Province in China, originally constructed approximately in A.D. 600. However, bridge design and construction then may not be considered bridge engineering practice by today’s definition. Instead, work was done based more on experience as opposed to quantitative planning as done now. Bridge engineering today uses calculus-based analysis and detailed planning. Materials used in bridge construction have also changed noticeably through a good number of years, from mainly natural materials such as stones and wood than to mainly man-made materials such as steel and Portland cement concrete today. Due to great improvement in the strength and production quality control of these materials, bridge components have become smaller, thinner, skinnier, and lighter to reduce self-weight and be more economical.

Fire Safety Engineering - Design of Structures

Fire Safety Engineering - Design of Structures 

J. Purkiss

Preference :

Before setting the groundwork for the complete subject of fire safety engineering and its influence on the overall planning, design, and construction of building structures, it is necessary to attempt to define what is meant by ‘fire safety engineering’. There is, as yet, no absolute definition, although the following may be found acceptable: Fire safety engineering can be defined as the application of scientific and engineering principles to the effects of fire in order to reduce the loss of life and damage to property by quantifying the risks and hazards involved and provide an optimal solution to the application of preventive or protective measures. The concepts of fire safety engineering may be applied to any situation where the fire is a potential hazard. Although this text is mainly concerned with building structures, similar principles are equally applicable to the problems associated with oil or gas installations or other structures such as highway bridges.

Design and Construction Building in Value

Design and Construction Building in Value 

Richard F. Fellows

Preference :

This is the second book in a series devoted to the concept of value in buildings, and how those who involved in building procurement may ultimately produce buildings that represent the best ‘value-for-money’ outcomes. Like its precursor, Building in Value: Pre-design Issues, it is intended both for students in construction- and property-related courses at the tertiary level and as a useful resource for industry professionals: property developers, project managers, and cost engineers among others. Once again a wide range of topics have been included, however, the design and construction of buildings is a broad and complex area and no single book could cover all the relevant areas. Once again, though, it brings together in one volume an introduction to many of the parts of the building procurement process that make up the design and construction phase. The reference and bibliography lists at the end of each chapter point readers to a wealth of related material and will thus facilitate the in-depth self-directed study of selected topics, while the editorial comments that precede most of the chapters tie the content of individual chapters to the central theme of ‘building in value’.

Content :

• 1 Construction Management in Practice.
• 2 Introduction to Strategic Management.
• 3 Strategy Systems.
• 4 Industrial Relations.
• 5 Health and Safety in Construction.
• 6 Managing People.
• 7 Financing Business Units.

Structural Dynamics of Earthquake Engineering

Structural Dynamics of Earthquake Engineering 

Sekaran Rajasekaran

Preference :

This text is concerned with the analysis of structures subjected to dynamic loads. Dynamics in this context means time-varying. Both application of load and removal of load necessarily vary with time. Hence, the internal stresses and the resulting deflections are also time-dependent or dynamic in nature. In the real world, no loads that are applied to a structure are truly static. All bodies possessing mass and elasticity are capable of vibration. Thus most engineering machines and structures experience vibration to some degree and their design generally requires consideration of oscillatory behavior. The effects of vibration are very common in our daily life. We live on the beating of our hearts. Planetary motion is also another example of vibration. These motions are called periodic motions (periodic motion is a motion that repeats itself regularly after a certain interval of time).

Content :

• 1 - Introduction to dynamics
• 2 - Free vibration of single-degree-of-freedom systems (undamped) in relation to structural dynamics during earthquakes
• 3 - Free vibration of single-degree-of-freedom systems (under-damped) in relation to structural dynamics during earthquakes
