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.

Guidelines for the Simplified Design of Structural Reinforced Concrete for Buildings
The aim of this International Standard is to provide rules for the design and construction of low-rise concrete
structures of small area to be built in the less developed areas of the world. The document is developed for
countries that do not have existing national standards. This document shall not be used in place of a national
standard unless specifically considered and accepted by the national standard body or other appropriate
regulartory organization. The design rules are based in simplified worldwide-accepted strength models. The
document is self-contained; therefore actions (loads) and simplified analysis procedures are included, as well as
minimum acceptable construction practice guidelines.
The minimum dimensional guidelines contained in this document are intended to account for undesirable side
effects that will require more sophisticated analysis and design procedures. Material and construction guidelines
are aimed at site mixed concrete as well as ready-mixed concrete, and steel of the minimum available strength
grades.
The earthquake resistance guidelines are included to account for the fact that numerous underdeveloped regions
of the world lay in earthquake prone areas. The earthquake resistance is based upon the employment of structural
concrete walls (shear walls) that limit the lateral deformations of the structure and provide for its lateral strength.
The document contains guidelines that can be modified by the national standards body due to local design and
construction requirements and practices. These guidelines that can be modified are included using ["boxed
values"]. The authorities in each member country are expected to review the "boxed values" and may substitute
alternative definitive values for these elements for use in the national application of the document.
A great effort was made to include self-explanatory tables, graphics, and design aids to simplify the use of the
document and provide foolproof procedures. Notwithstanding, the economic implications of the conservatism
inherent in approximate procedures as a substitution to sound and experienced engineering should be a matter of
concern to the designer that employs the document, and to the owner that hires him.

Effective beam width model (EBWM) has been widely used for predicting lateral drifts and slab moments in flat slab structures under lateral loads. As the slab moment due to lateral loads increases, slab stiffness decreases due to crack formation. The accuracy of the EBWM strongly depends on how the reduced slab stiffness is estimated. For this purpose, this study developed equations for calculating slab stiffness reduction factor () by conducting nonlinear regression analysis using stiffness reduction factors estimated from collected test results. The slab stiffness reduction factor () is defined as a ratio of reduced slab stiffness due to crack formation to the stiffness of the uncracked slab section. For verifying the proposed equation, the lateral stiffness of two slab–column connection specimens tested by the writers was compared with the lateral stiffness calculated using the EBWM with the proposed stiffness reduction factor. Further, two flat plate specimens having two continuous spans were also considered for verifying the proposed equations for .
