Download or read book Seismic Effects on Structures written by E. Juhásová and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph deals with the problem of dynamic behaviour and seismic response of structures which are designed and constructed in seismic regions. Extensive attention is given to description of measuring methods, methods of evaluation of results and determination of dynamic properties of structures. The questions of linear and non-linear seismic response are solved taking into account the peculiarities of stiffness and damping and the demands of proper seismic design and the protecting of structures against unfavourable seismic effects. There is detailed analysis of torsional sesimic effects on structures with asymmetrical disposition in plan, of the influence of higher axial forces on the seismic response and of the problems of soil-structure interaction. The experimental results are extensively documented, with graphs, tables, photographs and a keyword index. This volume will interest structural engineers, engineers-designers, geophysicists, mechanical and geotechnical engineers. It is intended to serve both readers already acquainted with problems of earthquake engineering and beginners in this field.

This book was released on 2003-05-16 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1999, GSA and the U.S. Department of State convened a symposium to discuss the apparently conflicting objectives of security from terrorist attack and the design of public buildings in an open society. The symposium sponsors rejected the notion of rigid, prescriptive design approaches. The symposium concluded with a challenge to the design and security professions to craft aesthetically appealing architectural solutions that achieve balanced, performance-based approaches to both openness and security. In response to a request from the Office of the Chief Architect of the Public Buildings Service, the National Research Council (NRC) assembled a panel of independent experts, the Committee to Review the Security Design Criteria of the Interagency Security Committee. This committee was tasked to evaluate the ISC Security Design Criteria to determine whether particular provisions might be too prescriptive to allow a design professional "reasonable flexibility" in achieving desired security and physical protection objectives.

Download or read book Strength of Structural Elements written by Zbigniew Brzoska and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 789 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes engineering applications of the mechanics of deformable bodies and the elasticity theory relevant to them. It is concerned mainly with one-dimensional problems, which arise because either one of the dimensions of a body is much greater than the remaining two or the functions of two or three variables may be reduced to one variable.Problems of this type are of twofold importance. Firstly, many engineering problems can be described with sufficient accuracy just in this way. Secondly, unidimensional problems with known analytical solutions may serve either for testing numerical methods or for the analysis of fundamental concepts and phenomena, whose physical nature in three-dimensional approach might be obscured by the analytical-numerical aspect. The authors have confined themselves for the most part to the analysis of elastic behaviour of structures; however some attention is also given to elastic problems. A deterministic approach has been applied throughout the book. It will serve as a springboard for further work with stochastic approaches which are being increasingly used in engineering practice today.

Download or read book Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions Volume 3 Principles of Dynamic Analysis written by M. Dede and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, in six volumes, details design procedures for structures which are subjected to the effects of accidental explosions. The procedures cover the determination of the blast environment (blast and fragments) and then structural design. This volume, Principles of Dynamic Analysis, in particular, contains the procedures for analyzing structural elements subject to blast overpressures. It discusses the basic principles of dynamics as well as procedures for calculating the various components used to perform the analyses. Also presented are resistance-deflection functions for various elements including both one- and two-way panels as well as beam elements. These functions include the elastic, elasto-plastic, and plastic ranges of response. In addition, a discussion of dynamic equivalent systems (single- and multi-degree-of-freedom systems) is presented. A step-by-step numerical integration of an element's motion under dynamic loads using the acceleration-impulse-extrapolation method or the average acceleration method and design charts for simplified loads is illustrated. It also includes methods for analyzing elements subjected to impulse type loadings, that is, loadings whose durations are short in comparison to the time to reach maximum response of the elements. Example problems and solutions using these procedures are also included.

Download or read book Mechanics of Composite Structural Elements written by Holm Altenbach and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the textbook presents a systematic introduction to the structural mechanics of composite components. The book focusses on modeling and calculation of sandwiches and laminated composites i.e. anisotropic material. The new edition includes an additional chapter covering the latest advances in both research and applications, which are highly relevant for readers. The textbook is written for use not only in engineering curricula of aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering, but also for materials science and applied mechanics. Furthermore, it addresses practicing engineers and researchers. No prior knowledge of composite materials and structures is required for the understanding of its content. The book is close to classical courses of "Strength of Materials" and "Theory of Beams, Plates and Shells" but it extends the classic content on two topics: the linear elastic material behavior of isotropic and non-isotropic structural elements, and inhomogeneous material properties in the thickness direction. The Finite Element Analysis of laminate and sandwich structures is briefly presented. Many solved examples illustrate the application of the techniques learned.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 876 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In order to reduce the seismic risk facing many densely populated regions worldwide, including Canada and the United States, modern earthquake engineering should be more widely applied. But current literature on earthquake engineering may be difficult to grasp for structural engineers who are untrained in seismic design. In addition no single resource addressed seismic design practices in both Canada and the United States until now. Elements of Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics was written to fill the gap. It presents the key elements of earthquake engineering and structural dynamics at an introductory level and gives readers the basic knowledge they need to apply the seismic provisions contained in Canadian and American building codes."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
