Earthquake response of concrete gravity dams including hydrodynamic and foundation interaction effects
Earthquake response of concrete gravity dams including hydrodynamic and foundation interaction effects
Chopra, Anil K.; Chakrabarti, Parthasarathi; Gupta, Sunil
UCB/EERC-80/01, Earthquake Engineering Research Center, University of California, Berkeley, 1980-01, 210 pages (540/C49/1980)
A general procedure is presented for the analysis of the response of concrete gravity dams, including the dynamic effects of impounded water and flexible foundation rock, to the transverse (horizontal) and vertical components of earthquake ground motion. The problem is reduced to one in two dimensions, considering the transverse vibration of a monolith of the dam. The system is analyzed under the assumption of linear behavior for the concrete, foundation rock, and water. The complete system is considered to comprise three substructures--the dam, represented as a finite element system; the fluid domain, as a continuum of infinite length in the upstream direction; and the foundation rock region, as a viscoelastic halfplane. The structural displacements of the dam are expressed as a linear combination of Ritz vectors, chosen as normal modes of an associated undamped dam-foundation system. The modal displacements due to earthquake motion are computed by synthesizing their complex frequency responses using fast Fourier transform procedures. The stress responses are calculated from the modal displacements. The response of idealized dam cross sections to harmonic horizontal or vertical ground motion is presented for a range of important system parameters characterizing the properties of the dam, foundation rock, and impounded water. Based on these results, the authors investigate and present conclusions concerning the separate effects of fluid-structure and foundation-structure interaction, and the combined effects of the two sources of interaction on the dynamic response of dams.

Strength of Materials provides a comprehensive overview of the latest theory of strength of materials. The unified theory presented in this book is developed around three concepts: Hooke's Law, Equilibrium Equations, and Compatibility conditions. The first two of these methods have been fully understood, but clearly are indirect methods with limitations. Through research, the authors have come to understand compatibility conditions, which, until now, had remained in an immature state of development. This method, the Integrated Force Method (IFM) couples equilibrium and compatibility conditions to determine forces directly.
The combination of these methods allows engineering students from a variety of disciplines to comprehend and compare the attributes of each. The concept that IFM strength of materials theory is problem independent, and can be easily generalized for solving difficult problems in linear, nonlinear, and dynamic regimes is focused upon. Discussion of the theory is limited to simple linear analysis problems suitable for an undergraduate course in strength of materials. To support the teaching application of the book there are problems and an instructor's manual.

Risk Analysis in Building Fire Safety Engineering
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann | Pages: 208 | 2007-01-11 | ISBN: 075068156X | PDF | 2 MB
Product Description:
This book bridges the gap between risk assessment and fire safety engineering like few other resources.
As all required knowledge for Probability and Statistics for Fire Engineering is included in the preliminary chapters, the book is suitable for teaching Fire Engineering components in a wide range of engineering courses for senior graduates and for postgraduate students of Fire Engineering. It will also serve as a comprehensive reference for professionals.
This book describes the theory and the models involved in risk analysis, and includes case studies of multiple fire scenarios. Building fire safety and human behavioural responses to these scenarios show the benefits of risk-based fire safety design.
* Case studies and examples from across the world
* Applies probabilistic and stochastic models to fire initiation, fire growth, smoke spread and human behavior
* Co-written by a pioneering researcher in the field of building fire safety

Structures Under Crash and Impact: Continuum Mechanics, Discretization and Experimental Characterization
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 410 | 2007-11-15 | ISBN 0387738622 | PDF | 6 MB
Structures Under Crash and Impact: Continuum Mechanics, Discretization and Experimental Characterization examines the testing and modeling of materials and structures under dynamic loading conditions. Readers will find an in-depth analysis of the current mathematical modeling and simulation tools available for a variety of materials, in addition to both the benefits and limitations they pose in industrial design. The models discussed are also available in commercial codes such as LS-DYNA and AUTODYN. Following a logical and well organized structure, this volume uniquely combines experimental procedures with numerical simulation and features examples from issues taken directly from the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries.
Materials scientists, structural and design engineers, and physicists with an interest in crash and impact situations will find Structures Under Crash and Impact a valuable reference.
