Author(s)/Editor(s): Ioannis N. Psycharis, Stavroula J. Pantazopoulou, Manolis Papadrakakis (eds.) | Size: 27.56 MB| Format:PDF| Publisher: Springer International Publishing| Year: 2015| pages: 490 | ISBN: SBN 10: 3319161296 ; ISBN 13: 9783319161297
This book assembles, identifies and highlights the most recent developments in Rehabilitation and retrofitting of historical and heritage structures. This is an issue of paramount importance in countries with great built cultural heritage that also suffer from high seismicity, such as the countries of the eastern Mediterranean basin. Heritage structures range from traditional residential constructions to monumental structures, ancient temples, towers, castles, etc. It is generally recognized that these structures present particular difficulties in seismic response calculation through computer simulation due to the complexity of the structural system which is, generally, inhomogeneous, with several contact problems, gaps/joints, nonlinearities and brittleness in material constituents. This book contains selected papers from the ECCOMAS Thematic Conferences on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics & Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN) that were held in Corfu, Greece in 2011 and Kos, Greece in 2013. The Conferences brought together the scientific communities of Computational Mechanics, Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering in an effort to facilitate the exchange of ideas in topics of mutual interest and to serve as a platform for establishing links between research groups with complementary activities.

Smart Structures Innovative Systems for Seismic Response Control
Abstract: An innovative concept, smart structural systems have proven to be extremely effective in absorbing damaging energy and/or counteracting potentially devastating force, thus limiting structural collapse and subsequent injury. As this technology rapidly evolves, there is an ever-increasing need for an authoritative reference that will allow those in the field to stay abreast of the very latest advances.
Smart Structures: Innovative Systems for Seismic Response organizes current research and technology to provide researchers and practicing engineers, as well as advanced students, with the means to learn about and apply the very latest smart structure innovations. Key features include—
- Complete mathematical formulations and numerical procedures for topics presented
- New technologies
- Design guidelines and examples based on current official codes
- Consideration of smart structures on a variety of foundations
- Discussion of the use of smart structures with passive or semi-active devices
- Extensive references
Designed for self-teaching, the text emphasizes essential information on structural formulations, mechanism of control systems, and numerical algorithms. It also provides step-by-step numerical examples to illustrate mathematical formulations and interpret physical representations, enabling readers to understand the forumulae vis-à-vis their applications. Each chapter comprehensively explores a specific topic, from smart structure systems currently in use, to case studies utilizing simulated earthquake data.

Abstract: Prepared by the Sustainable Infrastructure Standards Committee of the Committee on Sustainability of ASCE
Standard Practice for Sustainable Infrastructure, ASCE/COS 73-23, addresses development and implementation of sustainable infrastructure solutions through the entire infrastructure life cycle. It can be used for infrastructure solutions of any scale, although it is specifically not intended to unduly burden small projects.
The standard guides project leaders to encourage transformative development of the infrastructure solution from the earliest stages; consider and analyze all reasonable alternatives; and consider natural, no-construction, and constructed project solutions. It also provides life-cycle cost analysis requirements to protect and professionally steward private and public funds.
ASCE 73-23 will help owners or owner agencies, architects and engineers, support organizations, and contractors and subcontractors meet stakeholder needs and issues, as well as balance the economic, environmental, and social impacts (positive and negative, quantifiable and nonquantifiable) throughout the life cycle of sustainable infrastructure

Abstract: Aesthetic Design of Electric Transmission Structures will provide valuable insight to overhead line engineers, structural engineers, and construction managers involved in designing and building electrical transmission structures, as well as engineers and others involved in the electric power transmission industry.
Prepared by the Task Committee on Aesthetic Design of Electric Transmission Structures of the Special Design Issues Technical Administrative Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE
Aesthetic Design of Electric Transmission Structures provides a greater understanding of aesthetics in the design of transmission line structures, and presents thoughtful integration concepts that can positively alter resulting visual impact. In this age of increasing dependency on electricity to support digital lifestyles and economic development, new transmission lines are continually being required. Public opinion has evolved from welcoming new power lines as a sign of societal progress to now having to accept their presence on the landscape as a necessity. Intended as a starting point to help engineers think about aesthetics, as well as when and how to appropriately incorporate them within projects at the design stage, this book introduces
Aesthetic framework and artistic elements,
Architectural concepts,
Aesthetic principles, and
Case studies exploring twelve projects and their aesthetic design considerations.
large collection of peer-reviewed IEEE and other industry standards and guidelines related to overhead transmission line design, testing, construction, and maintenance is summarized in this recommended practice. This includes aspects such as structures, foundations, conductors, insulators, hardware, and electrical effects. It identifies the documents in an organized and comprehensive fashion along with explanations of the material presented within each document and when a particular document should be considered.

Abstract: Recommended Practice for Fiber Reinforced Polymer Products for Overhead Utility Line Structures, MOP 104, Second Edition, details best practices for the use of fiberreinforced polymer (FRP) composite poles and crossarms in resilient conductor support applications. With continued advancements and innovations in the composite industry in the 16 years since the first edition was published, this new edition updates and expands on nearly every aspect of FRP pole and crossarm testing, design considerations, installation, and asset management, providing the line designer with another tool in the line design tool box in addition to the traditional materials of wood, steel, and concrete. MOP 104, Second Edition, provides recommendations and suggested guidelines for performance based tests for all FRP components, discusses factors that could affect the performance of FRP poles after installation, suggests field inspection methods, and provides basic maintenance and field repair techniques. Notable updates include
Recommendations on when to utilize FRP products; An in depth review of serviceability equivalency (i.e., deflection) and strength equivalency for optimized FRP composite pole selection; Material industry best practice hardware solutions for FRP structures for a range of overhead line framings; Comprehensive installation review including foundation options; and Field inspection recommendations, including fiber bloom examples, and potential maintenance requirements.
