Summary
The use of passive energy dissipating devices to protect structures from seismic damage is starting to receive more attention. This paper explores the use of such a device, the slotted bolted joint, as a means of providing concentrically braced frames (CBFs) with similar levels of ductility to moment-resisting frames whilst avoiding the associated plastic hinge damage. The benefits of this approach include the ability to consider CBFs as potential candidates for stiff, lightweight seismic-resisting systems, with the promise of lower repair costs after a damaging seismic event. In this preliminary study, sample joints are described and some results based on time-history analyses of a trial 6 storey structure subjected to a range of ‘inelastic demandlevel’ earthquake records presented. Structure ductility factors ranging from 6.7 to 18.6 were observed with maximum drift levels well within code limits.
Does anyone have "Behaviour of steel structures in seismic areas, STESSA 2003 by Federico M. Mazzolani" ebook? I need the paper "Experimental and analytical evaluation of chevron braces with slotted brace-to-beam connections" from this book. Thanks to the uploader by now.

This new book on the fracture mechanics of concrete focuses on the latest developments in computational theories, and how to apply those theories to solve real engineering problems. Zihai Shi uses his extensive research experience to present detailed examination of multiple-crack analysis and mixed-mode fracture.
Compared with other mature engineering disciplines, fracture mechanics of concrete is still a developing field with extensive new research and development. In recent years many different models and applications have been proposed for crack analysis; the author assesses these in turn, identifying their limitations and offering a detailed treatment of those which have been proved to be robust by comprehensive use.
After introducing stress singularity in numerical modelling and some basic modelling techniques, the Extended Fictitious Crack Model (EFCM) for multiple-crack analysis is explained with numerical application examples. This theoretical model is then applied to study two important issues in fracture mechanics - crack interaction and localization, and fracture modes and maximum loads. The EFCM is then reformulated to include the shear transfer mechanism on crack surfaces and the method is used to study experimental problems.
With a carefully balanced mixture of theory, experiment and application, Crack Analysis in Structural Concrete is an important contribution to this fast-developing field of structural analysis in concrete.
* Latest theoretical models analysed and tested
* Detailed assessment of multiple crack analysis and multi-mode fractures
* Applications designed for solving real-life engineering problems

What host upload do you like??
I like megaupload,mediafire. There are reason:
1. Links are rarely died
2. Download max speed with mediafire and medium speed with megaupload (free user)
3. Upload rapidly
What about you? Kindly detail some reason.
If you have account on www.4shared.com, you must log in minimal 1 time at 1 month. And if someone report abuse your files, you must move it back from abuse folder soon.. Regards, robertsasmita
Could some one explain me?

Explore Historic Bridge Design through the Perspective of Modern EngineeringHistoric Bridges: Evaluation, Preservation, and Management provides both an admiring and a technical account of bridge engineering through an exploration of several remarkable examples. From ancient China to modern-day Minnesota, the book discusses the history and structural evaluation of bridges, as well as their preservation, and restoration. With chapters written by renowned engineers, this unique resource ā Compares the techniques and materials used in building three railroad bridges that traversed the Mississippi at the same site in 1865, 1887, and 1910 Investigates a legendary stone-arch bridge constructed in Ancient China in 606 A.D. Demonstrates how historians and engineers in Milwaukee found an approach to new bridge design that balances modern design standards with aesthetic interpretation Details a collaborative team approach to historic bridge management in Minnesota Considers the design and repair process of rapidly disappearing wrought iron bridges Discusses preservation of stone masonry aqueducts on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal An educational treatise for engineers and historical preservationists, this work includes a wealth of illustrations and scientific tables. Demonstrating historic engineering significance beyond their utilitarian function, the bridges encountered in these pages are true landmarks, as worthy of emulation as they are preservation.
