This book is aiming to concentrate on the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of structures and structural components that are widely used in everyday engineering applications. It approaches a nonlinear problem by mathematically converting it into an exact equivalent pseudolin…
"This book describes the application of nonlinear static and dynamic analysis for the design, maintenance and seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The latest structural and RC constitutive modelling techniques are described in detail, with particular attentio…
Presents a practical methodology for structural engineers, graduate students and researchers concerned with the design and maintenance of concrete structures.
Tunnelling is one of the most fascinating disciplines within civil engineering and provides a robust solution to a variety of engineering challenges. It is a complex process, which requires a firm understanding of the ground conditions as well as structural issues and where engi…
Improvement of buildings' structural quality by new technologies: proceedings of the final conference of COST Actio…
by Schaur, Christian, European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research (Organization)., COST C12, European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research (Organization)., Urban Civil Engineering
Launched in May 2000, the aims of the COST C12 cooperative action were: - to develop, combine and disseminate new technical engineering technologies - to improve the quality of urban buildings - to propose new technical solutions to architects and planners - to reduce the distur…
Introducing the capacity axis which is a geometric property, this book gives analytical procedures for predicting the capacities of circular and rectangular sections in concrete and steel materials. It demonstrates why this method is ineffective and shows how to prove this condi…
"This book presents a contemporary account of research on various mathematical/numerical techniques to deal with the interaction of surface gravity waves with flexible floating/submerged structures which are available in the scientific literature in a scattered manner. It emphas…
