Product Description:
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are used to study and solve complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems. This comprehensive text ranges from elementary concepts for the beginner to state-of-the-art CFD for the practitioner. It discusses and illustrates the basic principles of finite difference (FD), finite element (FE), and finite volume (FV) methods, with step-by-step hand calculations. Chapters go on to examine structured and unstructured grids, adaptive methods, computing techniques, and parallel processing. Finally, the author describes a variety of practical applications to problems in turbulence, reacting flows and combustion, acoustics, combined mode radiative heat transfer, multiphase flows, electromagnetic fields, and relativistic astrophysical flows. Students and practitioners--particularly in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and civil engineering--will use this authoritative text to learn about and apply numerical techniques to the solution of fluid dynamics problems.

3D Pushover of Irregular Reinforced Concrete Buildings
ABSTRACT
Seismic response of irregular plan buildings can be assessed by using tyme history analysis: however, this process is, in general, lengthy and has to be repeated many times to have a wide set of results that could represent the performance of the system facing any seismic excitation. Obviously, such procedure may take up considerable time before significant and useful data is obtained in the analysis of an irregular system: therefore, some other procedures, less time consuming and equally reliable, have been developed, one of them is the pushover analysis. Pushover is a tool that is widely used to predicted the strenght and response of 2D frames.
Currently, in this research, the methodology is extended to assess the performance of 3D irregular RC structures. Important issues regarding diaphragm effects, direction of load application, loading profiles and arrangement of the incremental dynamic analysis results have been studied: in addition, the capability of adaptive pushover has ben tried. Two RC irregular buildings and six earthquake ground motions were employed throughout the research. From the processing of the above information preliminary conclusions are drawn and future lines of research are proposed.

Periods of Vibration for Displacement-Based Assessment of RC Buildings
ABSTRACT
Simple empirical relationships area available inmany design codes to relate the height of a building to its fundamental period of vibration. These relationships have been realized for force-based design and so produce conservative estimates of period such that the lateral shear force will be conservatively predicted from an accelaration spectrum. Where assessment of a structure is concerned, it is the displacement demand that gives an indication of the damage that can be expected, this displacement would be underestimated with the use of the afermentioned period-height formulae. Furthermore, the period of vibration of interest in assessment is the yield period, which is calculated using the yield stiffness, also often referred to as the cracked or elastic stiffness.

Equivalent viscous damping equations for direct displacement based design
ABSTRACT
Estimation of the equivalent viscous damping factor (EVDF) is an important step in the methodology of the direct displacement based design. The dynamic response of the substitute structure is characterized by an effective stiffness and an equivalent viscous damping, simplifying considerably the dynamic problem and making this approach very desirable for design porposes. However, error in the estimation of these parameteres characteristics lead to consequent error in the ductility demand of the designed elements.

Geosynthetics are being used extensively throughout the world as they offer the most efficient and cost-effective solutions of a myriad of civil engineering problems. If properly protected, geosynthetics have the potential of functioning for hundreds of years. Rational design methods - based on sound concepts and standardized text techniques for detemining the technical properties of geosynthetics - are now available, placing the use of geosynthetics on a firm base.

A Short Course in Geotechnical Site Investigation" is the third volume in the popular and authoritative "Short course" series. This book focuses on the fundamental principles of geotechnical site investigation - in particular the planning of the investigation. This indispensable book is illustrated throughout with 23 case studies, seven of which are detailed examples of best practice. Some aspects of soil mechanics are explained using "hand written" "Short Course Notes". The classic monograph "Writing Reports" by D. J. Palmer is reproduced, and also included is a plastic-laminated field card giving identification and description of soil and rocks.This book provides: an introduction on how to plan an investigation, with particular reference to spacing of boreholes, procurement, developing the geological model and conceptual design; guidance on how to carry out a desk study and walkover survey, with particular reference to the use of geological maps and air photos; advice on how to identify geotechnical hazards, manage geotechnical risk and compile the Risk Register; a review of key classic and modern laboratory and field tests for parameter determination. "A Short Course in Geotechnical Site Investigation" will familiarise students with the practicalities of geotechnical engineering and refresh the knowledge of practising engineering geologists and civil engineers
