Historical stone arch bridges are still a major part of the infrastructure in many countries. Although this type of bridge has proven to be an efficient construction type, it often poses the problem of insufficient numerical models of the load bearing behavior. Therefore the book introduces methods to adapt life loads and introduces different types of numerical models of the load resistance respectively. The book continues with the introduction of specific damages and strengthening techniques. The book particularly focuses on the probabilistic safety assessment of historical arch bridges, for which often only limited material and structural data is available.

This essential new volume provides background information, historical perspective, and expert commentary on the ASME B31.3 Code requirements for process piping design and construction. It provides the most complete coverage of the Code that is available today and is packed with additional information useful to those responsible for the design and mechanical integrity of process piping. The author is a long-serving member of the ASME B31.3, Process Piping Code committee. Dr. Becht explains the principal intentions of the Code, covering the content of each of the Code's chapters. Book inserts cover special topics such as calculation of refractory lined pipe wall temperature, spring design, design for vibration, welding processes, bonding processes and expansion joint pressure thrust..Appendices in th book include useful information for pressure design and flexibility analysis as well as guidelines for computer flexibility analysis and design of piping systems with expansion joints. From the new designer wanting to know how to size a pipe wall thickness or design a spring to the expert piping engineer wanting to understand some nuance or intent of the Code, everyone whose career involves process piping will find this to be a valuable reference.

Passive and Active Structural Vibration Control in Civil Engineering
info:
In structural engineering, one of the constant challenges is to find new and better means
of designing new structures or strengthening existing ones so that they, together with
their occupants and contents, can be better protected from the damaging effects of
destructive environmental forces such as wind, wave loads, and earthquakes. As a result,
new and innovative concepts of structural protection have been advanced and are at
various stages of development. Structural protective systems can be divided into three
groups as shown in Table I. The technique of seismic isolation is now widely used in
many parts of the world. A seismic isolation system is typically placed at the foundation
of a structure which, by means of its flexibility and energy absorption capability, partially
absorbs and partially reflects some of the earthquake input energy before it is transmitted
to the structure. The net effect is a reduction of energy dissipation demand on the
structural system, resulting in an increase in its survivability.
This collection of lecture notes represents an attempt to introduce the basic concepts
of these relatively new technologies, to provide a working knowledge of this exciting and
fast expanding field, and to bring up-to-date current research and world-wide
development in seismic isolation, pussive energy dissipation, and active control. The
book is divided into three parts, each addressing one of these topics. In each case, basic
principles are introduced, followed by design and applications, implementation issues,
case studies, and code issues if applicable.

Weian Yao, Wanxie Zhong, Chee Wah Lim "Symplectic Elasticity"
World Scientific Publishing Company | English | 2009-02-26 | ISBN: 9812778705 | 316 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Solid mechanics problems have long been regarded as bottlenecks in the development of elasticity. In contrast to traditional solution methodologies, such as Timoshenko s theory of elasticity for which the main technique is the semi-inverse method, this book presents a new approach based on the Hamiltonian principle and the symplectic duality system where solutions are derived in a rational manner in the symplectic space. Departing from the conventional Euclidean space with one kind of variable, the symplectic space with dual variables thus provides a fundamental breakthrough.
This book explains the new solution methodology by discussing plane isotropic elasticity, multiple layered plate, anisotropic elasticity, sectorial plate and thin plate bending problems in some detail. A number of existing problems without analytical solutions within the framework of classical approaches are solved analytically using this symplectic approach. Symplectic methodologies can be applied not only to problems in elasticity, but also to other solid mechanics problems. In addition, it can also be extended to various engineering mechanics and mathematical physics fields, such as vibration, wave propagation, control theory, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.
Contents: Mathematical Preliminaries; Fundamental Equations of Elasticity and Variational Principle; The Timoshenko Beam Theory and Its Extension; Plane Elasticity in Rectangular Coordinates; Plane Anisotropic Elasticity Problems; Saint Venant Problems for Laminated Composite Plates; Solutions for Plane Elasticity in Polar Coordinates; Hamiltonian System for Bending of Thin Plates.

Hello my fellow civil engineers,
I hope you all are doing well.
I would like to request something I need for school.
I need a Journal or Magazine that describes the rehabilitation process of a deteriorated bridge. The text would have to explain in detail the problem with the bridge prior to the repair and how they reconstructed it. I have to write a 6 page paper in which I have to discuss the type of cracks, problems, difficulties encounter during the inspection. And how the engineer repaired these problems.
If anyone have such journal, could you please be kind enough to post it here or PM me. The longer the Journal or Magazine the better it is.
