Design of Portal Frame Buildings

Examples in Structural Analysis

Structural analysis is an essential core subject in all civil/structural undergraduate programs of study. In addition it is frequently included in the curriculum of other disciplines such as building and architecture. Students adopt a variety of strategies when developing their knowledge and understanding of structural behavior. This new textbook focuses on the use of worked examples using traditional ‘hand’ methods of analysis. A step-by-step approach has been adopted in all solutions and where required, the appropriate concepts and principles are explained and integrated within the text.

Modern Bamboo Structures: Proceedings of the First International Conference

Bamboo materials are well available in the world. Bamboo has much shorter maturity than trees, thus can be harvested with shorter cycles of plantation. Despite the fact that human society has a long history of using bamboo, there is still a lack of modern and industrialized application of bamboo materials in construction. Promoting the application of bamboo in construction could provide a potential solution to the sustainable, green and environment-friendly development of construction industry.”Modern Bamboo Structures” is the first of its kind covering the applications of bamboo materials in modern structures.

High Performance Building Guidelines

Background Through a recent series of initiatives, New York City is laying the groundwork to introduce significantly improved energy- and resource-efficient practices into its public facility construction programs. Policymakers are seeking to capitalize on the economic and environmental benefits of ‘green’ buildings. NYC recognizes that improving the environmental performance of its facilities will add value to its large portfolio of capital assets, and at the same time, yield important ‘quality of life’ benefits for New Yorkers.

Concrete and Masonry

Field Manual (FM) 5-428 is primarily a training guide and reference text for engineer personnel using concrete and masonry materials in field construction. The manual has two parts: Concrete (Part One) and Masonry (Part Two).

Plate Buckling in Bridges and Other Structures

A well-illustrated and comprehensive account of various aspects of local buckling in bridges, this book covers the theory and background of buckling. It presents simple design calculations that address this intriguing phenomenon and describes attempts to master the process of buckling, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented, including five bridge collapses which occurred in a four-year-period between 1969 and 1973. Examining such failures provides valuable information about the phenomenon of buckling. The final section of the book presents easy-to-follow design examples that conform to the latest Eurocode.

Plastic Analysis and Design of Steel Structures

The plastic analysis method has been used extensively by engineers for designing steel structures. Simpler structures can be analyzed using the basic virtual work formulation, but more complex frames are evaluated with specialist computer software. This new book sets out a method for carrying out plastic analysis of complex structures without the need for specialist tools.
