This book talks about methods of soil improvement for engineering purposes and geotechnical construction processes. In addition to introductory knowledge on soil mechanics/soil engineering or geotechnical engineering, the book also helps the reader to work on mathematical skills (e.g. numerical methods in geomechanics). More practical subjects, such as the in-depth treatment of experimental methods in the laboratory or the field are also included in the book for a more holistic approach to the learning of soil mechanics/soil engineering or geotechnical engineering.

I am wondering if any of you would know how much does a license for ANSYS Workbench Mechanical actually cost?
This information is extremely elusive. I can't find it anywhere on the internet. I really hate that these companies simply don't publish how much their software cost!
Author(s)/Editor(s): Andrzej S. Nowak and Kevin R. Collins | Size: 5.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CRC | Year: 2013 | pages: 403 | ISBN: 978-0-203-80914-3
Reliability of Structures enables both students and practising engineers to appreciate how to value and handle reliability as an important dimension of structural design. It discusses the concepts of limit states and limit state functions, and presents methodologies for calculating reliability indices and calibrating partial safety factors. It also supplies information on the probability distributions and parameters used to characterize both applied loads and member resistances.
This revised and extended second edition contains more discussions of US and international codes and the issues underlying their development. There is significant revision and expansion of the discussion on Monte Carlo simulation, along with more examples.
The book serves as a textbook for a one-semester course for advanced undergraduates or graduate students, or as a reference and guide to consulting structural engineers. Its emphasis is on the practical applications of structural reliability theory rather than the theory itself. Consequently, probability theory is treated as a tool, and enough is given to show the novice reader how to calculate reliability. Some background in structural engineering and structural mechanics is assumed.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a great book … easy to teach from; students can readily learn the theory from its beginnings to its practical applications; it is a course topic that will be of great value in understanding structural design during the professional life of the engineer; it is an invaluable tool to guide in the development of national design standards such as the AASHTO bridge design specification; it is logical and it is fun to go back to time and again."
―Theodore V. Galambos, Emeritus Professor, University of Minnesota
"… a must read for any engineer working in the civil engineering structures arena. … provides the necessary knowledge to give structural engineers the tools they need to make better designs a priori and determine structural failures a posteriori."
―Andrew D. Sorensen, Ph.D., Idaho State University,
"Compared to other textbooks in this area, Reliability of Structures is particularly easy to understand. … ideal for a first course in this topic, or if the classroom contains undergraduate students who might be otherwise lost in an advanced theoretical presentation. A particular strength is its discussion of design code development and calibration, perhaps the most important application of reliability analysis in structural engineering."
―Christopher Eamon, Wayne State University

Blast Resistant Design Guide for Reinforced Concrete Structures
Author(s)/Editor(s): Smith, S., McCann, D. and Kamara, M. | Size: 8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: PCA | Year: 2009 | pages: 152
his guide, which includes a foreword by Dr. Gene Corley, provides structural engineers with a practical treatment of the design of cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures to resist the effects of blast loads. Readers will be able to understand the principles of blast-resistant design, determine the kind and degree of resistance a structure needs, and specify the materials and details required to provide it. Guidelines are provided for detailing requirements for blast resistance and detailing philosophy and reinforcement splicing are introduced for columns, beams, slabs, walls and joints. It includes a final chapter devoted to design methods that can protect structures against progressive collapse.

Author(s)/Editor(s): W. Morgan Edited by Ian G Buckle | Size: 17.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: Sportshelf | Year: 1977 | pages: 254 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 9780273010791 ISBN-13: 978-0273010791
This second edition of W. Morgan original work has been updated with complete conversion to SI units and numerous new photographs throughout the text. The intuitive approach to structural principles has been retained to give students and others connected with the building industry an almost non-mathematical introduction to structural engineering. At the same time expanded definition of fundamental concepts have been included along with new sections on high-rise buildings and earthquake effects on structures. Data on modern structures are included in the later chapters.

This book is intended as an essential study aid for the finite element method. Based on the free computer algebra system Maxima, the authors offer routines for symbolically or numerically solving problems in the context of plane truss and frame structures, allowing readers to check classical ‘hand calculations’ on the one hand and to understand the computer implementation of the method on the other. The mechanical theories focus on the classical one-dimensional structural elements, i.e. bars, Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beams, and their combination to generalized beam elements. Focusing on one-dimensional elements reduces the complexity of the mathematical framework, and the resulting matrix equations can be displayed with all components and not merely in the form of a symbolic representation. In addition, the use of a computer algebra system and the incorporated functions, e.g. for equation solving, allows readers to focus more on the methodology of the finite element method and not on standard procedures.

This book is a collection of invited lectures including the 5th Nicholas Ambraseys distinguished lecture, four keynote lectures and twenty-two thematic lectures presented at the 16th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, held in Thessaloniki, Greece, in June 2018. The lectures are put into chapters written by the most prominent internationally recognized academics, scientists, engineers and researchers in Europe. They address a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art and cutting-edge topics in earthquake engineering, engineering seismology and seismic risk assessment and management.
The book is of interest to civil engineers, engineering seismologists, seismic risk managers, policymakers and consulting companies covering a wide spectrum of fields from geotechnical and structural earthquake engineering, to engineering seismology and seismic risk assessment and management. Scientists, professional engineers, researchers, civil protection policymakers and students interested in the seismic design of civil engineering structures and infrastructures, hazard and risk assessment, seismic mitigation policies and strategies, will find in this book not only the most recent advances in the state-of-the-art, but also new ideas on future earthquake engineering and resilient design of structures.
