Xiong Zhang received his Ph.D. in Computational Mechanics from the Dalian University of Technology in 1992. He is now a professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Tsinghua University, and the Associate Editor of the International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design. His selected honors include the New Century Excellent Talents in University (Ministry of Education of China, 2004), the First prize (2008) and Second prize (2009) for Natural Science from the Ministry of Education of China, the ICACM Fellows Award (2011), the Beijing Municipal Famous Teacher Award for Higher Education (2015) and the Qian Lingxi Computational Mechanics Award (Achievement Award, 2016). His current research interests focus on numerical modeling of extreme events, such as hypervelocity impact, blast, bird impact, penetration, perforation and fluid-structure interaction. He has published 3 monographs and 3 textbooks in Chinese. He was included in the list of Elsevier’s “Most Cited Chinese Researchers” in 2015.
His research area is in Computation Mechanics with a recent focus on multiscale modeling and simulation of the multiphysical phenomena involved in structural failure subjected to extreme loading conditions. Before joining MU in 1995, he was a professional staff member at New Mexico Engineering Research Institute as well as in the Department for the Waste Isolation Pilot Project/Performance Analysis Code Development at Sandia National Laboratories.
Among his honors and awards are the Fellow of ASME, the Fellow of the ICACM, the Yangtze visiting professor and Qianren-Plan visiting professor appointed by the Ministry of Education in China, the Faculty Research Award in the College of Engineering at MU, the Outstanding Youth Award (Oversea) from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the NSF-CAREER Award. He received his Ph.D. in solid and computational mechanics from the University of New Mexico in 1989.
did his postdoctoral research at Northwestern University from 2008 to 2010. He has been a faculty member at Tsinghua University since 2010, and is now an
associate professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering.His research interests include multiscale simulation, meshfree particle methods and impact dynamics.
He received the Natural Science Award from Chinese Ministry of Education in 2009, Du Qing-Hua Medal & Young Researcher Award of Computational Methods in Engineering in 2012, the ICACM Young Investigator Award in 2013.

What turns a building into an icon? What is it about some structures that makes their history and legend even more important than their original intended use, making them a part of American, and world, popular culture? Twenty four buildings and structures, including the Brooklyn Bridge, the White House, the Hotel del Coronado, and the Washington Monument are presented here, along with their roles in fiction, film, music, and the imagination of people worldwide. Approximately twenty five images are included in the set, along with sidebars featuring additional structures.

he Fourth Edition of the SDI Diaphragm Design Manual, DDM04, replaces the Third Edition, DDM03. It includes information for the design of steel deck diaphragms for roof and floor decks and complies with the requirements of the ANSI/AISI S310-2013 North American Standard for the Design of Profiled Steel Diaphragm Panels. It includes information on diaphragm strength and stiffness, fasteners and connections, and warping and stiffness properties. Also included are 25 Design Examples, many of which are being published for the first time. Load Tables for proprietary and, for the first time, generic fasteners are included.

Author(s)/Editor(s): United States Steel | Size: 8.745 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: United States Steel - FHWA | Year: 1984 | pages: 135 | ISBN: n.a.
This manual is directed to the practicing engineer concerned with safe, economical designs of steel sheet pile retaining structures. The content is directed basically toward the designer’s two primary objectives: overall stability of the structural system and the integrity of its various components.
Emphasis is placed on step-by-step procedures for estimating the external forces on the structure, evaluating the overall stability, and sizing the sheet piling and other structural elements.
Graphs and tables are included to aid the designer in arriving at quick solutions.
Three basic types of sheet pile structures are considered: (3) cantilevered and anchored retaining walls, (2) braced cofferdams and (3) cellular cofferdams.
Consideration is also given to the design of anchorage systems for walls and bracing systems for cofferdams.

The design of temporary excavation support to Eurocode 7
Author(s): Paul David Markham
Published By:Geotechnical Engineering Volume 165 Issue GE1, ICE Publishing
Published Year:2011
DOI:10.1680/geng.2012.165.1.3
Size: 0.426 MB
Quality:Original Preprint
Abstract: This paper examines how Eurocode 7 relates to the design of temporary excavation support. It is shown that total stress design and the net available passive resistance method described in Ciria Report 104 can produce inconsistent results, which must be carefully checked for sensitivity to the soil parameter values used. Many temporary excavations are designed using moderately conservative soil parameter values and a limit equilibrium method of analysis with a lumped factor of safety of 1.5. It is concluded that design in accordance with Eurocode 7 produces higher propping forces than design using this approach, but that Eurocode 7 produces propping forces over 60% lower than design in accordance with Ciria Report C580.
