Fracture Processes of Concrete

Fracture Processes of Concrete

1st Edition

By Jan G.M. van Mier
December 20, 1996

Despite tremendous advances made in fracture mechanics of concrete in recent years, very little information has been available on the nature of fracture processes and on reliable test methods for determining parameters for the different models. Moreover, most texts on this topic discuss numerical ...

Transportation Systems Planning Methods and Applications

Transportation Systems Planning: Methods and Applications

1st Edition

Edited By Konstadinos G. Goulias
December 26, 2002

Transportation engineering and transportation planning are two sides of the same coin aiming at the design of an efficient infrastructure and service to meet the growing needs for accessibility and mobility. Many well-designed transport systems that meet these needs are based on a solid ...

The Civil Engineering Handbook

The Civil Engineering Handbook

2nd Edition

Edited By W.F. Chen, J.Y. Richard Liew
August 29, 2002

First published in 1995, the award-winning Civil Engineering Handbook soon became known as the field's definitive reference. To retain its standing as a complete, authoritative resource, the editors have incorporated into this edition the many changes in techniques, tools, and materials that over ...

Theory of Adaptive Structures Incorporating Intelligence into Engineered Products

Theory of Adaptive Structures: Incorporating Intelligence into Engineered Products

1st Edition

By Senol Utku
February 18, 1998

Theory of Adaptive Structures provides the basic theory for controlling adaptive structures in static and dynamic environments. It synthesizes well-established theories on modern control as well as statics and dynamics of deformable bodies. Discussions concentrate on the discrete parameter adaptive...

1st Edition

By Zdenek P. Bazant, Jaime Planas
December 29, 1997

Fracture and Size Effect in Concrete and Other Quasibrittle Materials is the first in-depth text on the application of fracture mechanics to the analysis of failure in concrete structures. The book synthesizes a vast number of recent research results in the literature to provide a comprehensive ...

The Finite Strip Method

The Finite Strip Method

1st Edition

By Y. K. Cheung, L. G. Tham
December 29, 1997

The increase in the popularity and the number of potential applications of the finite strip method has created a demand for a definitive text/reference on the subject. Fulfilling this demand, The Finite Strip Method provides practicing engineers, researchers, and students with a comprehensive ...

Cold Weather Concreting

Cold Weather Concreting

1st Edition

By B.A. Krylov
November 19, 1997

Concreting in cold weather requires special knowledge and skills to ensure accelerated hardening and high quality in plain- and reinforced-concrete structures. Cold Weather Concreting familiarizes concrete specialists with the characteristic features of concrete in cold weather, including the ...

Analysis and Software of Cylindrical Members

1st Edition

By W.F. Chen, Shouji Toma
December 12, 1995

This book provides an in-depth look at the behavior, design, and construction of offshore structures. It describes the behavior of cylindrical members and suggests appropriate software, written by the contributors, to determine everything from loading up to the ultimate load, including ...

Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Structures

Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Structures

1st Edition

By N. S. Trahair
July 20, 1993

Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Structures provides an up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of flexural-torsional buckling and demonstrates how to design against this mode of failure. The author first explains the fundamentals of this type of buckling behavior and then summarizes results that will be...

Unified Theory of Reinforced Concrete

Unified Theory of Reinforced Concrete

1st Edition

By Thomas T.C. Hsu
December 10, 1992

Reinforced concrete structures are subjected to a complex variety of stresses and strains. The four basic actions are bending, axial load, shear, and torsion. Presently, there is no single comprehensive theory for reinforced concrete structural behavior that addresses all of these basic actions and...

Response Spectrum Method in Seismic Analysis and Design of Structures

Response Spectrum Method in Seismic Analysis and Design of Structures

1st Edition

By Ajaya Kumar Gupta
April 06, 1992

New developments in the response spectrum method have led to calculations in seismic stresses that are more accurate, and usually lower, than those obtained by conventional methods. This new textbook examines the wealth of information on the response spectrum method generated by the latest research...
