The Tower and the Bridge: The New Art of Structural Engineering
Author(s)/Editor(s): David P. Billington | Size: 47 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: Princeton University Press | Year: 1985 | pages: 328 | ISBN: 069102393X / 978-0691023939
What do structures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the concrete roofs of Pier Luigi Nervi have in common? According to this book, now in its first paperback edition, all are striking examples of structural art, an exciting form distinct from either architecture or machine design. Aided by a number of stunning illustrations, David Billington discusses leading structural engineer-artists, such as John A. Roebling, Gustave Eiffel, Fazlur Khan, and Robert Maillart.

This report provides a one-stop reference of failures in steel structures, along with considerations for preventing them. The versatility of structural steel allows it to perform outstandingly in countless applications. However, repeated failures associated with fracture and/or fatigue mechanisms including, notably, the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the 1995 Kobe earthquake, and the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge collapse in Minneapolis in 2007 highlighted concerns for the life of bridge structures, particularly with regard to fatigue and corrosion.
Although problems with fatigue and brittle have been well documented, these factors and issues have not yielded state-of-the-art design practices. This book gives engineers a better understanding of steel, its limitations, and its applications, in order to reduce brittle and fatigue failures.
This book will be a valuable resource for structural engineers, as well as professionals involved in bridge construction, design, and maintenance.

Advanced Polymer Composites for Structural Applications in Construction
Author(s)/Editor(s): R A Shenoi and S S J Moy, University of Southampton and L C Holloway, University of Surrey | Size: 112 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Thomas Telford Ltd | Year: 2002 | pages: 544 | ISBN: 9780727731227
The use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) based composite materials is set to increase to meet demands for improvements in construction processes. The science and technology associated with this subject are advancing at a rapid rate.
This volume of papers from the ACIC 2002 conference covers the application of FRP in concrete structures, metallic structures, concrete cylinders and columns and walls and pipes. It is the direct result of a collaboration between engineers and researchers who convened specifically to exchange ideas and promote the safe and cost-effective use of FRP for structural applications in construction.

Cement production is known to be a polluting and energy-intensive industry. Cement plants account for 5 percent of global emissions of carbon dioxide and one of the main causes of global warming. However, cement it is literally the glue of progress. Designing Green Cement Plants provides the tools and techniques for designing new large cement plants that would promote sustainable growth, preserve natural resources to the maximum possible extent and make least possible additions to the Greenhouse Gases that cause global warming.
Brief and but authoritative, this title embraces new technologies and methods such as Carbon Capture and Sequestration, as well as methods for harnessing renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The author also discusses the efficient use of energy and materials through the use recycling. In addition, this book also examines thepossibilities of developing green cement substitutes such as Calera, Caliix, Novacem, Aether and Geopolymer cements.

Analysis of Welded Structures: Residual Stresses, Distortion, and their Consequences encompasses several topics related to design and fabrication of welded structures, particularly residual stresses and distortion, as well as their consequences. This book first introduces the subject by presenting the advantages and disadvantages of welded structures, as well as the historical overview of the topic and predicted trends. Then, this text considers residual stresses, heat flow, distortion, fracture toughness, and brittle and fatigue fractures of weldments. This selection concludes by discussing the effects of distortion and residual stresses on buckling strength of welded structures and effects of weld defects on service behavior. This book also provides supplementary discussions on some related and selected subjects. This text will be invaluable to metallurgists, welders, and students of metallurgy and welding.
