This book proposes and validates a number of methods and shortcuts for frugal engineers, which will allow them to significantly reduce the computational costs for analysis and reanalysis and, as a result, for structural design processes. The need for accuracy and speed in analyz…
The book gives a compact review of numerical methods and a description of material behavior. These basics are applied to bars, beams, strut and tie models, plates, slabs and shells. Examples are developed for each structural type, and may be reproduced by open source software.
The book covers the application of numerical methods to reinforced concrete structures. To analyze reinforced concrete structures linear elastic theories are inadequate because of cracking, bond and the nonlinear and time dependent behavior of both concrete and reinforcement. Th…
