Failure Analysis of Engineering Structures: Methodology and Case Histories
By V. Ramachandran
Machines and structures have failed in service without warning and with disastrous consequences. Collapse of bridges and buildings, massive splitting of ships and tankers, explosions in chemical factories, inflight disintegration of aircraft and spacevehicles, and other such major disasters have become history. The consequential damages of these mishaps are humanly unforgivable and can never be forgotten by mankind. Needless it is to emphasize the importance of the prompt investigation of these failures in order to ascertain their causes, inform the public, and to take remedial action to prevent their recurrence.

Product Description
Describes how mechanical material behavior relates to the design of structural machine components. Emphasizes fatique and failure behavior using engineering models that have been developed to predict, in advance of service, acceptable fatique and other durability-related lifetimes. Covers broad classes of materials used for high-performance structural applications such as aerospace components, automobiles, and power generation systems. Focuses on metallic materials but also addresses unique capabilities of important non-metals. (Concepts are applied to behavior at room or ambient termperatures; a planned second volume will address behavior at higher temperatures.)

Special design considerations for precast prestressed hollow core floors
Special design considerations for precast prestressed hollow core floors
Published in year 2000.
The former FIP Commission Prefabrication drafted the FIP Recommendations on the design of Precast prestressed hollow core floors, published by FIP in 1988 (Telford, London, ISBN 0-7277-1375-2). That document was highly appreciated by designers and public authorities because of the lack of guidance available elsewhere, especially with respect to some specific features of the product, for example the absence of transverse reinforcement. It has also served as a reference guide for national standards and especially for the CEN product standard on prestressed hollow core slabs.
During the production of that report it was felt that some design rules were incomplete or missing. In addition, research carried out since has resulted in complementary knowledge on the behaviour of hollow core floors, for example in combination with slender floor beams.
The present guide to good practice is intended to complement the existing recommendations. The research for the different items was carried out at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), VTT (Finland), University of Nottingham (United Kingdom), Building Research Institute (Poland), and the University of Rome (Italy).
