Drawn from the proceedings at the 10th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability in Osaka, Japan, this work examines the safety and reliability of structures and systems in civil, marine, mechanical, transportation, and aerospace systems. It focuses particularly on advanced techn..

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this user-friendly textbook aids students' understanding of abstract structural concepts through visualizing, identifying and appreciating their application in practice...

Nonlinear static monotonic (pushover) analysis has become a common practice for performance-based seismic bridge design. The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and to provide the progressive collapse sequenc..

Now with new chapters on timber buildings, masonry buildings, and base-isolated structures, the book draws on a series of practical short courses presented by specialist academics with significant consulting experience, and leading practitioners who are actively engaged in large projects...

Seismic design of concrete buildings needs to be performed to a strong and recognized standard. Eurocode 8, the first European Standard for seismic design, is having an impact on seismic design standards in countries within and outside Europe. This book contains a comprehensive case study of the des..

Observation and research into the performance of steel structures during recent large earthquakes, such as those in Mexico City, Loma Prieta, Northridge, and Kobe, has produced some very interesting results; not least in emphasizing differences in the seismic effects of near-source and far-source ea..

Shell Structures: Theory and Applications, Volume 3 covers a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering issues, and will be of interest to researchers and designers dealing with modelling and analyses of shell structures and thin-walled structural elements...
