Article: Global buckling analysis of plane and space thin-walled frames in the context of GBT
Thin-Walled Structures
Volume 46, Issue 1, January 2008, Pages 79-101
Abstract
This paper reports research work concerning the use of Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) to analyse the global buckling behaviour of
plane and space thin-walled frames. Following a brief overview of the main concepts and procedures involved in the performance of a
GBT buckling analysis, one presents in detail the formulation and numerical implementation of a GBT-based beam finite element that
includes only the first four (rigid-body) deformation modes—namely, one describes (i) the kinematical models developed to simulate the
warping transmission at frame joints connecting two or more non-aligned U- and I-section members, (ii) the procedures adopted to
handle the effects stemming from the non-coincidence of the member centroidal and shear centre axes (cross-sections without double
symmetry), and (iii) the definition of joint elements, which involves providing a relation between the connected member GBT degrees of
freedom and the joint generalised displacements. Finally, one presents and discusses numerical results that make it possible to illustrate
the application and show the capabilities of the above GBT-based finite-element formulation and implementation. For validation
purposes, the GBT-based results (critical buckling loads and mode shapes) are also compared with values yielded by shell (mostly) and
beam finite element analyses carried out in the code ANSYS.

Large distribution centres and retail developments have become familiar features of the suburban landscape. Most towns have industrial estates, retail parks and supermarkets within and around them. Each one of these has an associated area of distribution roads, parking and delivery areas and hardstandings. This being the case, it is surprising that there has previously been little guidance on the design and construction of these paved area. Technical Report 66 is aimed at filling the gap with sections on general design, thickness design, joints and joint spacing, materials, construction, surface texture and in-service assessment. In some respects it is a natural extension to the extremely successful Concrete Society Technical Report 34 Concrete industrial ground floors, which deals internal floor slabs.
Dear colleagues and friends. If anybody has this technical report, please share.

TR 65 Guidance on the use of Macro-synthetic Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Guidance on the use of Macro-synthetic Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Catalogue ID: TR65 CCIP-021
Publisher: The Concrete Society
Macro synthetic polymer fibres have the potential to improve the post-cracking properties of hardened concrete. Their use as an alternative to nominal bar or fabric reinforcement is a relatively recent development. This Report is intended for designers, clients and users who are familiar with conventional reinforcement but who may have little experience of the use of fibres. It reviews the current range of applications, including sprayed concrete, external paving and precast units, and gives guidance on aspects such as quality control. Where possible, the design methods being used have been outlined, although in many cases the approaches are still being developed. April 2007 76 pages
Dear colleagues and friends. This documents is very important for me. If anybody has it, please share.

The Analysis of Stress and Deformation - Housner and Vreeland
This book was prepared for a course in the mechanics of deformable bodies at the authors' institution, and is at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate students.
It differs from the traditional treatment by going more deeply into the fundamentals and giving less emphasis to the design aspects of the subject.
In the first two chapters the principles of stress and strain are presented and a sufficient introduction is given to the theory of elasticity so that the student can see how exact solutions of problems can be derived, and can appreciate the nature of the approximations embodied in some commonly used simplified solutions. The third chapter is devoted to the bending of beams, and the fourth chapter treats the instability of elastic systems.
Applications to axially symmetric problems, curved beams, and stress concentrations are discussed in Chapter 5;
applications to torsion problems are discussed in Chapter 6;
applications to problems of plates and shells are discussed in Chapter 7.
Applications to problems involving viscous and plastic behavior are treated in Chapter 8,and problems of wave propagation are treated in Chapter 9.
An introduction to numerical methods of solving problems is given in Chapter 10.
An introduction to tensor notation by means of the equations of elasticity is given in Appendix I.
Experimental methods of determining stresses by means of strain gages, brittle coatings, and photo- elasticity are described in Appendices I1 and 111.
A brief introduction to variational methods is presented in Appendix IV.

Hi everyone
I can make analysis of some continuous rc structure sections like tunnel section, rc walls in SAP2000 with modeling as plane-strain section and I can read the internal stresses.
I want to learn how to calculate the amount of the required reinforcement steel.Could you help me please. Do you have any e-book about this?
