Structural Engineering

This book presents international views on this fast changing field, with the main themes of: technical components of test quality; quality assurance in testing laboratories; laboratory accreditation and transnational recognition of test results...

This classic reference suits the non-specialist civil engineer involved in the assessment, repair or maintenance of concrete structures. It includes integrity assessment, sub-surface radar, corrosion assessment and localized dynamic response tests, automated test methods, digital technology and perf..

There is a pressing need for rationalization and standardization of test procedures for metals for use in all types of structure. This book brings together the latest international research developments, presented at a RILEM workshop held in Naples in May 1990...

This key text for senior undergraduate and graduate students is also an essential reference tool for practising structural engineers...

Recently, the finite strip method has been used in fields beyond just structural engineering, for example in geotechnology and soil engineering. Because of the popularity and increased number of applications of the method, and because there exists no other text/reference on the subject, The Finite S..

Presenting recent principles of thin plate and shell theories, this book emphasizes novel analytical and numerical methods for solving linear and nonlinear plate and shell dilemmas, new theories for the design and analysis of thin plate-shell structures, and real-world numerical solutions, mechanics..

This text examines the relationship between the performance of timber and its structure. It explains a wide range of timbers physical and mechanical behaviour (including processing) in terms of its basic structure and its complex interaction with moisture...

Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the st..

Understanding and Using Structural Concepts..

Groundbreaking and comprising articles by expert contributors, this volume provides a comprehensive treatment of VLFSs and their relationship with the sea, marine habitats, the pollution of costal waters and tidal and natural current flow...
