The basic principles of Yield Line theory are explained and its application as a versatile method for the design and assessment of reinforced concrete slabs is demonstrated. Theory is followed by practical examples and the accompanying commentary gives insights into the years of experience brought to bear by the main author, Gerard Kennedy.
It commits to paper a practical approach to the use of Yield Line for the design of concrete slabs. It gives guidance on how to tackle less simple problems, such as the design of flat slabs,
rafts, refurbishment and slab-beam systems.

Concrete Floor - Slabs-on-Grade Subjected to Heavy-Loads
This manual prescribes the criteria for the design of concrete floor slabs on grade in buildings for heavy loads and is applicable to all elements responsible for military construction. Heavy loads in buildings such as warehouses include moving loads, stationary live loads, and wall loads.
Theoretical concepts, practical applications, basis of design, and design procedures for heavy loads are discussed in this manual.

An introductory textbook for senior/graduate courses in finite element analysis taught in all engineering departments. Covers the basic concepts of the finite element method and their application to the analysis of plane structures and two-dimensional continuum problems in heat transfer, irrotational fluid flow, and elasticity. This revised edition includes a reorganization of topics and an increase in the number of homework problems. The emphasis on numerical illustrations make topics clear without heavy use of sophisticated mathematics.

One of the world's currently largests tunnel projects is under construction at the Yangtze River estuary: the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel project, with its length of 8950 m and a diameter of 15.43 m. The Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel. Theory, Design and Construction, which was presented as a special issue at the occasion of the 6th International Symposium Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Shanghai, China, 10-12 April 2008), contains a comprehensive collection of papers dedicated to one of the most complex underground works recently undertaken, and covers a variety of topics:
– Experiment and design;
– Construction and monitoring;
– Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation;
– Risk assessment, and
– Project management.
This book will be invaluable to scientists and engineers working in the analysis, design, construction and management of tunnels in soft ground.
