Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation was into the computized design and analysis of portal frame type structures, which may include members of varying section, by both elastic and plastic methods of analysis. The objectives were to produce suitable design guide lines for the sizing of the frame members, to produce an interactive plastic analysis program for use on micro computers and to expand the capability of the existing elasto-plastic analysis program at the University of Bradford, to cope with haunched members and to incorporate any applicable time and space saving devices. The design guide lines were to be an extension of D I Blockley's paper "The Design of Single Storey Pitched Roof Portal Frames", published in 1970. Repeated analysis and geometrically similar frames with varying sections were performed and the results combined with the recommendations from Blockley's paper, to produce design guides for the sizing and position of the individual members of the frame. To produce a suitable plastic analysis program for use on a micro computer, computer, the Reactant Bending Moment or Graphical method analysis was chosen. The advantages of this method are, that it is commonly used in the design office, it allows checking at intermediate stages in the analysis, and the free bending moment distribution aids the selection of appropriate hinge positions. The existing program at the University of Bradford was to be extended by introduction of routines which would allow haunched members and multiply loading to any member, this would reduce computer storage and solution time, but a special solution routine was required to determine the formation position of a hinge along a member. The three objectives were completed and where possible compared with other proven methods of analysis.

Download or read book Plastic Design and Second Order Analysis of Steel Frames written by W.F. Chen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plastic Design of Steel Frames assesses the current status and future direction of computer-based analyses of inelastic strength and stability for direct frame design. It shows how design rules are used in practical frame design and provides an introduction to the second-order theory of inelastic frame design. The book includes two computer programs on a diskette: one for the first-order analyses and the other for the second-order plastic hinge analysis of planar frame design. The second-order program can be used to predict realistic strengths and stabilities of planar frames, thereby eliminating the tedious task of estimating factors for individual member capacity checks. Both programs include clear input instructions. The diskette also contains the Fortran source-code listing for the second-order plastic-hinge analysis, enabling the user to customize the program. The programs will run on an IBM PC-AT or equivalent machine with 640 kB of memory and 30 MB hard drive.

Download or read book Plastic Design of Frames 1 Fundamentals written by J. Baker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1969-06-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this volume was first published, plastic theory was the most modern method of structural analysis, and it made possible the direct design of steel frames in a way not available with only elastic methods. It is now recognized that this theory is also fundamental to structural design in materials such as reinforced concrete and aluminium. This is the first volume of a two-volume work by Professors Baker and Heyman that expounds and illustrates the methods of plastic design. Volume 1 gives the elements of the theory and covers the needs of most undergraduates and designers. A special feature of this work is the large number of exercises (140 in all) with answers. Volume 2 deals with advanced topics of theoretical analysis and practical design. The examples and the methods presented herein are extremely valuable to the engineer. The quality of the writing makes Professors Baker and Heyman's book a pleasure to read. Lord Baker (Sir John Fleetwood Baker, 1901-1985) was Professor of Mechanical Sciences and Head of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge from 1943 to 1968. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society. Baker's pioneering research led to the development of the plastic theory of design, originally used for steel frames but now recognized as being valid for many structural materials, such as aluminium and reinforced concrete. Additionally, Baker was responsible for many curriculum innovations at the university and was the author of The Steel Skeleton, a two-volume work. Jacques Heyman is the former Head of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge and the author of ten books, including The Stone Skeleton, Elements of the Theory of Structures, Structural Analysis: A Historical Approach, Elements of Stress Analysis, and the two-volume set Plastic Design of Frames: Volume 1. Fundamentals with Lord Baker and Volume 2. Applications. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the Institution of Civil Engineers, and the Royal Academy of Engineering. He acted as a consulting engineer for a number of English cathedrals and as a member of the Architectural Advisory Panel for Westminster Abbey and of the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England, and he has served on many British standards committees. The Stone Skeleton won the Choice Outstanding Academic Books Award in 1996.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Linear Structures: Matrix Methods of Analysis and Design by Computers presents the use of matrix methods of structural analysis suitable for computers. The book consists of 10 chapters. In the first chapter a brief introduction to the behavior of structures in general is given with reference to the linear elastic and simple plastic methods of structural analysis. Chapter 2 is devoted to linear matrix methods, both force and displacement. Chapter 3 examines the stability of an individual member with various end conditions. It also derives the stability functions used in Matrix force and Matrix displacement methods. Chapter 4 tackles the elastic stability of complete frames. Chapter 5 deals with the elastic instability of frames. The sixth chapter covers the elastic-plastic analysis of frames. This is followed in Chapter 7 by a number of approximate methods for the evaluation of the failure load of frames without following the sequence of hinge formation. The last three chapters are devoted to the design of structures and the non-linear aspects of design problems. A description of non-linear programming by piecewise linearization is included in Chapter 10. Structural engineers, architects, researchers, and engineering students will find the book useful.
Download or read book Advanced Analysis of Steel Frames written by W.F. Chen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of the limit state approach to design in recent years has focused particular attention on two basic requirements: accurate information regarding the behavior of structures throughout the entire range of loading up to the ultimate strength, and simple practical procedures to enable engineers to assess this behavior. This book satisfies these requirements by providing practical analysis methods for the design of steel frames. The book contains a wide range of second-order analyses: from elastic to inelastic, rigid to semi-rigid connections, and simple plastic hinge method to sophisticated plastic-zone method. Computer programs for each analysis are provided in the form of a floppy disk for easy implementation. Sample problems are described and user's manuals are well documented for each program developed in the book.
Download or read book Design of Steel Structures written by ECCS - European Convention for Constructional Steelwork and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the fundamental design concepts of Eurocode 3 for steel structures in building construction, and their practical application. Following a discussion of the basis of design, above all the principles of the limit state approach, the material standards and their use are detailed. The fundamentals of structural analysis and modeling are presented, followed by the design criteria and approaches for various types of structural members. The following chapters expand on the principles and applications of elastic and plastic design, each exemplified by the step-by-step design calculation of a braced steel-framed building and an industrial building, respectively. Besides providing the necessary theoretical concepts for a good understanding, this manual intends to be a supporting tool for practicing engineers. To that end, numerous worked examples are provided throughout the book, concerning the analysis of steel structures and the design of elements under several types of actions. These examples facilitate the application of Eurocode regulations in practice. The second edition contains more worked examples and extended explications on issues like torsion.
Download or read book Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Coupled Instabilities in Metal Structures written by Dinar Camotim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of coupled instabilities is a fascinating field of research with a wide range of practical applications, particularly in the analysis and design of metal structures. Despite the excellent body of existing results concerning coupled instability structural behaviour, this situation has not yet been adequately translated into design rules or specifications. In fact, only to a small extent do modern design codes for metal structures take advantage of the significant progress made in the field. This book, which contains all the invited general reports and selected papers presented at the Third International Conference on "Coupled Instabilities in Metal Structures". (CIMS '2000), should provide a meaningful contribution towards filling the gap between research and practice.
Download or read book Coupled Instabilities In Metal Structures Cims 96 written by Dan Dubina and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996-08-16 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1960s, coupled instabilities — also called compound buckling, simultaneous buckling or interactive buckling — have been a topic that was studied by many researchers. However, despite some excellent theoretical works in this field, the relevant subject is not yet satisfactorily considered in modern design codes for metal structures. To fill up this gap and to improve the current situation, a series of International Conferences 'Coupled Instabilities in Metal Structures' was launched in 1992 with the main aim of encouraging an exchange of views between researchers and engineers on the various aspects of coupled instabilities. The success of the first conference, held at Timisoara (Romania) in 1992, and organized by Professors D Dubina & V Gioncu (Politechnica University of Timisoara) and J Rondal (Univ. of Liège), has encouraged the organization of a second conference, to be held in Liège (Belgium) during September 5-7, 1996. A third conference is still forecast for the year 2000.
