Emergence, Analysis and Evolution of Structures: Concepts and Strategies Across Disciplines
Emergence, Analysis and Evolution of Structures: Concepts and Strategies Across Disciplines

The study of structures and structure generating processes is a common concern of all scientific and technical disciplines.
The present volume presents an interdisciplinary investigation of the different methods of analysis and modelling which, while differing considerably in detail, usually have evolutionary adaption or development schemes at their core.
The book naturally falls into three parts - a first part summarizing the transdisciplinary fundamentals, a second part discussing in detail case studies from various fields (production engineering, medicine, management, molecular biology, energy engineering, civil engineering, logistics, sociology, physics) and a shorter outlook on the transdisciplinary perspective.

This volume is the 8th in a series of impact books resulting from the activities of the scientific program "Response of the Earth System to Impact Processes" (IMPACT), by the European Science Foundation. The book resulted from an international meeting at Mora, Sweden, which was held as part of the IMPACT program. The papers cover various structural geologic, geochemical, and geophysical topics on research of asteroid impact structures on Earth and Mars.

ABSTRACT
Design aids are developed using the AISC-LRFD Specifications for design of steel beam-columns. These aids give designers more options in design and often allow selection of sections that are more efficient for a given set of conditions than the current design aids do. Several examples are worked out using the current method of practice as well as the proposed method developed in this paper.

Stress Ribbon and Cable-Supported Pedestrian Bridges
Stress Ribbon and Cable-Supported Pedestrian Bridges
By Jiri Strasky
* Publisher: Thomas Telford Ltd
* Number Of Pages: 240

'Stress-ribbon bridges' is the term used to describe structures formed by a very slender concrete deck in the shape of a catenary. They can be designed with one or more spans and are characterized by successive and complementary smooth curves. These curves blend into the natural environment and their forms, the most simple and basic of structural solutions, clearly articulate the flow of internal forces which can be erected without undue pressure on the environment. "Stress Ribbon and Cable-supported Pedestrian Bridges" looks at how slender concrete decks are used in the design of suspension and cable stayed structures.It looks at their characteristic feature; their rigidity, which is mainly given by the tension stiffness of prestressed concrete decking, so much so that movement caused by pedestrians or wind does not register as discomfort by users. Starting with a brief history the title describes structural types, addresses general design criteria, current technology, static and dynamic analysis and discusses the results of the static and dynamic loading tests. Illustrated throughout, "Stress Ribbon and Cable-Supported Pedestrian Bridges" provides examples of outstanding structures, which have been recently completed. This book will be of value to practicing engineers who wish to understand the premises upon which the rules are based and researchers who wish to develop the subject further and students who wish to delve into the background behind the current loading rules.

Bridge Design for Economy and Durability: Concepts for New, Strengthened and Replacement Bridges
By Brian Pritchard
* Publisher: Thomas Telford
* Number Of Pages: 172
* Publication Date: 1992-11
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0727716719
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780727716712
Product Description:
This comprehensive book describes a number of new or updated bridging concepts which were developed and successfully applied during the author's forty years of close involvement with UK and international bridge design, construction, maintenance and research. The concepts mainly apply to the small/medium span range of bridges and viaducts and contribute to one or more of the following features: design and construction economy in both time and money; ease of inspection and minimum maintenance; ride quality and safety; good appearance; and strengthening when required with minimum traffic disruption.
