Innovative Solutions In Steel: Open-Deck Parking structures
“Steel Parking Structures Making a Comeback!” reads the headline in a recent issue of Parking Today, the leading independent trade publication of the U.S. parking industry. Steel-framed parking structures today are radically different than their predecessors. New high-performance paint systems and modern galvanizing techniques have satisfied corrosion concerns and provide a protective, attractive finish that lasts for decades. Choosing a steel framing system will improve the return on your investment through benefits that concrete cannot provide including:
! lower construction costs
! greater parking density providing more parking spaces
! bright, open interiors enhancing patron security and comfort
! earlier occupancy from reduced construction time and simplified construction
practices
! reduced maintenance costs as opposed to escalating restoration costs
! superior long-term durability
! unlimited opportunity for aesthetic expression
! greater design flexibility
! simplified maintenance procedures
! adaptability to irregular sites
! reduced foundation requirements resulting from a lighter structure
! convenience and ease of future vertical expansion
In every way, steel is the logical choice for your next parking project. This Design Aid provides you with the information you need to make that choice. It won’t turn you into a parking designer. It will help you work with your design professional to select the ideal framing system—steel. Don’t get caught in the trap of tradition—break away from that same old, tired concrete parking garage! Read
on and discover why the “we’ve always done it that way” myths of parking just don’t apply in the 21st Century. Discover how to build tomorrow’s parking structure today, with STEEL!

Anton Puskar, "Internal Friction of Materials "
Publisher: Cambridge International Science Publishing | 2001-05 | ISBN 1898326509 | PDF | 326 pages | 1.8 MB
Without understanding the nature and mechanisms of an elasticity and the effect of various factors on internal friction, it is difficult to solve the problems of using internal friction measurement for evaluating the structural stability of alloys, cyclic microplasticity and for better understanding the processes associated with the response of materials to single or repeated loading. The author presents important new results for the relationship between internal friction and the defect of the elasticity modulus with many principal processes such as plastic deformation, effect of temperature of plastic deformation, effects on the structural stability of alloys and composites up to cyclic microplasticity. The existence of critical strain amplitudes is discussed and supported by experiments, and attention is given to the link of cyclic microplasticity with dislocation density and activation volume of plastic deformation up to the effect of individual factors on the cyclic plastic response of the material. The relationship of the process of mechanical fatigue of the material with internal friction and the defect of the elasticity modulus is discussed. The author proposes a new fatigue life equation which has been verified by a large number of experiments.

Fracture Processes of Concrete: Assessment of Material Parameters for Fracture Models
Fracture Processes of Concrete: Assessment of Material Parameters for Fracture Models
Jan G.M. van Mier,
CRC
1997
ISBN: 0849391237
464 pages
Djvu 10,1 MB
Despite tremendous advances made in fracture mechanics of concrete in recent years, very little information has been available on the nature of fracture processes and on reliable test methods for determining parameters for the different models. Moreover, most texts on this topic discuss numerical modeling but fail to consider experimentation. This book fills these gaps and synthesizes progress in the field in a simple, straightforward manner geared to practical applications.

Chaos in Structural Mechanics (Understanding Complex Systems)
J. Awrejcewicz, V. A. Krysko,
Springer
2008
ISBN: 3540776753
424 pages
PDF 6,6 MB
This volume introduces and reviews novel theoretical approaches to modeling strongly nonlinear behaviour of either individual or interacting structural mechanical units such as beams, plates and shells or composite systems thereof.
The approach draws upon the well-established fields of bifurcation theory and chaos and emphasizes the notion of control and stability of objects and systems the evolution of which is governed by nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations. Computational methods, in particular the Bubnov-Galerkin method, are thus described in detail.

Corrosion Science and Technology
CRC-Press
Pages: 432
1997-11-20
ISBN 0849382246
PDF 3 MB
Although they often appear to be permanent, metals are unstable in their service environments and are susceptible to degradation by corrosion. Corrosion occurs when protective mechanisms have been overlooked, break down, or have been exhausted, leaving the metal vulnerable to attack by hostile environments. Control of corrosion is essential in a wide variety of industries. It is of concern to materials scientists and engineers, yet both students and professionals often cannot assimilate the info
