This authoritative book summarizes the latest knowledge on performance-based approaches to the fire safety engineering of structures. Going beyond codes of practice, it addresses issues that have become more important in recent years, including the integrity of fire-resistant compartmentation, the p..

This book demonstrates how fire science can be used to solve fire protection problems in the built environment. It also provides an understanding of the performance-based design process, deterministic and risk-based analysis techniques, development of design fire scenarios, trial design development ..

Performance-Based Optimization of Structures introduces a method to bridge the gap between structural optimization theory and its practical application to structural engineering...

This undergraduate text introduces the solution of engineering problems. It focuses on civil engineering design and problem solving, using real world examples covering social, environmental, business, legal and ethical issues. It outlines a conceptual framework for undertaking engineering projects a..

This well-illustrated and comprehensive review of buckling in bridges covers theory, background, and simple design calculations relevant to this intriguing phenomenon, analyzing successful attempts to intercede in the buckling process. But because examination of failures provides valuable informatio..

This book will provide comprehensive, practical knowledge for the design of reinforced concrete buildings. The approach will be unique as it will focus primarily on the design of various structures and structural elements as done in design offices with an emphasis on compliance with the relevant cod..

This edition provides up-to-date guidance on the detailed design of prestressed concrete structures. All major topics are dealt with, including prestressed flat slabs, an important and growing application in the design of buildings...
