This book includes a collection of chapters that were presented at the International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics (ICESD), held in Reykjavik, Iceland between 12-14 June 2017. The contributions address a wide spectrum of subjects related to wind engineering, earthquake engineering, and structural dynamics. Dynamic behavior of ultra long span bridges that are discussed in this volume represent one of the most challenging and ambitious contemporary engineering projects. Concepts, principles, and applications of earthquake engineering are presented in chapters addressing various aspects such as ground motion modelling, hazard analysis, structural analysis and identification, design and detailing of structures, risk due to non-structural components, and risk communication and mitigation.
The presented chapters represent the state-of-the-art in these fields as well as the most recent developments.

Article/eBook Full Name: Wind Loads on Non-Building Structures Using ASCE 7-10
Author(s): Silky Wong; Ankur Sepaha; Naga Swamy; Samuel D. Amoroso; and Dawar Naqvi
Publish Date: 2012
Published By: ASCE
Covering a wide range of structural elements and related defects, this collection of twenty concrete bridge strengthening and repair case studies showcases solutions to real problems encountered in the field and the processes by which those solutions were developed. Drawing on a lifetime of experience Atkins consultant Iain Kennedy Reid provides insight into methods of investigation and diagnosis of problems relating to beams, slabs, columns and panel walls, as well as how to apply demand-led research to these problems in a practical way.

Prestressed Concrete: Building, Design, and Construction
Author(s)/Editor(s): Charles W. Dolan, H. R. (Trey) Hamilton | Size: 50 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: springer | Year: 2019 | pages: 452 | ISBN: 3319978810
This textbook imparts a firm understanding of the behavior of prestressed concrete and how it relates to design based on the 2014 ACI Building Code. It presents the fundamental behavior of prestressed concrete and then adapts this to the design of structures. The book focuses on prestressed concrete members including slabs, beams, and axially loaded members and provides computational examples to support current design practice along with practical information related to details and construction with prestressed concrete. It illustrates concepts and calculations with Mathcad and EXCEL worksheets.
Written with both lucid instructional presentation as well as comprehensive, rigorous detail, the book is ideal for both students in graduate-level courses as well as practicing engineers.

This is a one-stop book for knowing everything important about building structures.
Self-contained and with no prerequisites needed, it is suitable for both general readers
and building professionals.
• follow the history of structural understanding;
• grasp the concepts of structural behaviour via step-by-step explanations;
• apply these concepts to a simple building;
• see how these concepts apply to real buildings, from Durham Cathedral to the
Bank of China;
• use these concepts to define the design process;
• see how these concepts inform design choices;
• understand how engineering and architecture have diverged, and what effect this had;
• learn to do simple but relevant numerical calculations for actual structures;
• understand when dynamics are important;
• follow the development of progressive collapse prevention;
• enter the world of modern structural theory;
• see how computers can be used for structural analysis;
• learn how to organise and design a successful project.
With more than 500 pages and over 1100 user-friendly diagrams, this book is a must for anyone who would like to understand the fascinating world of structures.

Timber is one of the oldest of mans building materials, but because the building scene today is dominated by concrete and steel, many designers are unfamiliar with the properties of timber and its structural vocabulary.
This new book begins with an extended introduction to timber as a building material: its various forms and properties, its response to environmental conditions, and the Building Regulations relating to its use. It goes on to follow the general sequence of work, starting with the commission, and then dealing with the survey, the investigation and the appraisal

The book introduces all the aspects needed for the safe and economic design and analysis of connections using bolted joints in steel structures. This is not treated according to any specific standard but making comparison among the different norms and methodologies used in the engineering practice, e.g. Eurocode, AISC, DIN, BS.
Several examples are solved and illustrated in detail, giving the reader all the tools necessary to tackle also complex connection design problems.
The book is introductory but also very helpful to advanced and specialist audiences because it covers a large variety of practice demands for connection design. Parts that are not taken to an advanced level are seismic design, welds, interaction with other materials (concrete, wood), and cold formed connections.

Forensic engineers often specialize in a particular area such as structures, fires, or accident reconstruction. However, the nature of the work often requires broad knowledge in the interrelated areas of physics, chemistry, biomechanics, and engineering. Covering cases as varied as assessment of workplace accidents to the investigation of Halliburton in the BP oil spill, Forensic Engineering Fundamentals is a comprehensive introduction to the many diverse facets of the field that forensic engineers must be familiar with in their practice.
