Structural Engineering

This book reflects a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering problems, from theoretical modelling, via strength, stability and dynamic behaviour, to numerical analyses, biomechanic applications and engineering design of shell structures, and is of interest to academics, researchers, designers an..

Helping readers prepare for the civil and structural PE exam, this book presents numerous design examples that serve as a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to basic bridge design using the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, Fifth Edition. It offers a simplified explanation of load resistance ..

This textbook addresses current progress in the mechanics and design of smart composites and multifunctional structures. It covers characterization, analyses, and design of various advanced composite material systems with an emphasis on the coupled mechanical and non-mechanical properties. The book ..

This book introduces new smart connection systems which can be used in aseismic building design in order to control inter-story drifts and to reduce residual displacements. They are also utilized as damper devices and base isolators. The application of these systems to composite moment frame buildin..

Neural networks and genetic algorithms draw on the problem-solving strategies of the natural world which differ fundamentally from the mathematically-based computing methods normally used in engineering, and can solve difficult inverse problems based on reduction in disorder -- such as in computatio..

An introduction to the investigation, extraction, processing and specification of natural soil and rock materials, with an emphasis on why particular material properties are sought and how they may be modified...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in considering nonlinear soil-foundation interaction in the design of shallow foundations, both for static and earthquake loading. To distinguish these approaches from the classical linear elastic soil-structure interaction, the term soil-foundation..
