This book details 72 statically determinate truss schemes, providing compact formulas for deflection. For engineers and theorists, these formulas are a reliable test for numerical calculations, are especially effective for large trusses, and warn of hidden dangerous properties.
This book contains 72 schemes of statically determinate trusses, detailing the analytical dependencies of the deflection on the loads, dimensions and the number of panels for each of them. It specifically focuses on cantilever trusses, frames and arched trusses, among which it is possible to separately distinguish trusses with externally hidden dangerous properties.
The book is intended both for practical engineers and for theorists of structural mechanics. The compact and easily reproducible formulas provided here can be used as a test and reliable addition to numerical calculations. These formulas are especially effective for trusses with a large number of panels, where numerical calculations either give inaccuracies or require considerable counting time. Schemes that allow instantaneous variability will warn the practical engineer about an error at the design stage when choosing the number of truss panels.
Reinforced concrete columns play a very important role in structural performance; as such, it is essential to apply a suitable analytical tool to estimate their structural behaviour and consider failure mechanisms. This monograph focuses on fiber beam-column elements.
This book contains 73 schemes of trusses, with solutions for many not widely published. It identifies trusses with hidden dangerous properties and provides compact formulas for engineers and theorists to supplement numerical calculations, especially for complex structures.
This book assesses the risks of debris flows in Georgia, calculating the damage they cause. It presents innovative, patented structures to regulate them, designed using theoretical, laboratory, and field studies to ensure reliability. For scientists, engineers, and students.
This book proposes a quantitative shaking evaluation for seismic-resistant buildings, with guidance to calculate the shaking quantity scale. It also demonstrates using Artificial Intelligence to predict this scale, which is highly important for earthquake early warning systems.
This book provides the fundamentals of analysis and design of reinforced concrete (RC) elements in a simple way. A valuable guide for students and practicing engineers, its design procedures provide a roadmap to create your own programming codes to increase design productivity.
Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) uses prefabricated elements to reduce on-site construction time and traffic disruptions. This book examines ABC for short-span bridges, covering decision-making, systems, inspection methods, and a complete design example.
This book details an innovative finite element (FE) formulation for post-tensioned (PT) concrete. It provides MATLAB code to simulate bonded, unbonded, or partially bonded tendons, including sliding, friction, and anchor seating loss, with reduced computational power.
Drawing on 31 years of experience, this book guides readers in designing safe and cost-effective structures. It includes numerical examples in both SI and US units for components like beams, columns, slabs, and shear walls, plus considerations for dynamic loads like earthquakes.
This book presents unique, modern, and cost-effective seismic isolation strategies to make existing buildings earthquake-proof. Learn how these highly efficient methods can be implemented quickly, easily, and without interrupting building use, demonstrated on real-world examples.
