Structural Modeling and Experimental Techniques

Structural Modeling and Experimental Techniques offers a treatment of structural modeling for applications in design, research, education, and product development. Providing numerous case studies throughout, the book emphasizes modeling the behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete and masonry structures. The second edition includes new or expanded discussions on a variety of topics, including modeling concrete structures with FRP reinforcement, model fabrication techniques, nonlinear and inelastic structural behavior, the strength of model block masonry assemblages, fiber optic sensors, and centrifuge testing.
