Description:
The development of methods for the monitoring and assessment of structures has been driven by the demand for better as well as cheaper methods. Constraints like undisturbed traffic flow, limited access possibilities and finally limited or even shrinking budgets have led to a development of an assessment model well fitted to the construction sector.
Ambient vibration monitoring, which provides the opportunity to obtain useful data under ambient conditions for the assessment of structures and components, is the backbone of structural assessment monitoring and control. Nevertheless there is little available on this subject for the practising engineer. This book enables the practising engineer to learn about this fascinating area and gain information on practical applications.
Ambient Vibration Monitoring describes current ambient vibration methodologies along with direct information on applicable solutions, and includes:
* Years of pioneering practical research collated into one book.
* Real-world applications with practical solutions.
This book will be of interest to all engineers engaged in structural assessment monitoring and control, and provides a useful tool for students of structural dynamics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and related fields.

Title: Port Designer's Handbook - Recommendations and Guidelines
Author: Carl A. Thores
ISBM-10: 0727732285
ISBN-13: 978-0727732286
Description:
Over the past twenty years there has been considerable improvement and new information in the design of port and berth structures. This handbook reflects the latest progress and developments in navigation safety, port planning and site selection, layout of container, oil and gas terminals, cargo handling, berth design and construction, fender and mooring principles. It presents guidelines and recommendations for the main items and assumptions in the layout, design and construction of modern port structures, and the forces and loadings acting on them. The book provides an evaluation of different designs and construction methods for port and berth structures, and recommendations given by the different international harbor standards and recommendations. Practicing harbor and port engineers and students will find the handbook an invaluable source of information.

For FloorLL of 2.4 kPa on square floor slab panel, the maximum load delivered to beams is w(span)/2 = 2.4(6)/2 = 7.2 kN/m. Which means the area load distribution to frame elements are correct.
But in the member force diagrams for frames, the maximum load delivered is 7.2(2) = 14.4 kN/m.
[/b]
In ETABS v9.7 member force diagrams for frames, the maximum load delivered is 6.911 kN/m. There is a difference of 0.289 kN/m with respect to 7.2 kN/m, but this will not affect the results.
Therefore, by comparing the results of SAP2000 v14.2 to the results of ETABS v9.7, the bending moment, shear, and deflection has been doubled in SAP2000.

Hi All
I am looking for strengthening of RC beams by adding steel plates both in flexure and shear.
If any one of you has any material / articles / design procedures for this please upload.
Thanks in advance
Metal Fatigue Damage: Mechanism, Detection, Avoidance, and Repair
Editor(s): S.S. Manson
Pages: 353
Published: 1971
Soft Cover
The work presented in the publication Metal Fatigue Damage—Mechanism, Detection, Avoidance, and Repair was sponsored by the ASTM-ASME Joint Committee on the Effect of Temperature on the Properties of Metals and financed by The Metal Properties Council. The Applied Research Panel under the Chairmanship of M. Semchyshen and the Gas Turbine Panel Chaired by G. J. Wile, cooperated in this project. Mr. S. S. Manson, who headed the Task Group under the Applied Research Panel, was responsible for the coordination of the papers presented in this publication.
!!!As all literature on the metal preliminary-strained (prestressing) spatial designs interests. Excuse for language. Thanks.

Understanding and controlling vibration is critical for reducing noise, improving work environments and product quality, and increasing the useful life of industrial machinery and other mechanical systems. Computer-based modeling and analytical tools provide fast, accurate, and efficient means of designing and controlling a system for improved vibratory and, subsequently, acoustic performance. Computer Techniques in Vibration provides an overview as well as a detailed account and application of the various tools and techniques available for modeling and simulating vibrations. Drawn from the immensely popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, each expertly crafted chapter of this book includes convenient summary windows, tables, graphs, and lists to provide ready access to the important concepts and results. Working systematically from general principles to specific applications, the coverage spans from numerical techniques, modeling, and software tools to analysis of flexibly supported multibody systems, finite element applications, vibration signal analysis, fast Fourier transform (FFT), and wavelet techniques and applications. MATLAB® toolboxes and other widely available software packages feature prominently in the discussion, accompanied by numerous examples, sample outputs, and a case study. Instead of wading through heavy volumes or software manuals for the techniques you need, find a ready collection of eminently practical tools in Computer Techniques in Vibration.
