The objective of this book is to introduce the various aspects of finite element method as applied to engineering problems in a systematic manner. It is attempted to give details of development of each of the techniques and ideas from basic principles. New concepts are illustrated with simple examples wherever possible. Several Fortran computer programs are given with example applications to serve the following purposes:
- to enable the student to understand the computer implementation of the theory developed;
- to solve specific problems;
- to indicate procedure for the development of computer programs for solving any other problem in the same area.
The source codes of all the Fortran computer programs can be found at the Web site for the book,

GIS for Sustainable Development
by Michele Campagna
Publisher : CRC 2005-08
560 Pages
ISBN : 0849330513
PDF 12 MB
GIS for Sustainable Development examines how GIS applications can improve collaboration in decision making among those involved in promoting sustainable development. This volume reviews leading GIScience, providing an overview of research topics and applications that enable GIS newcomers and professionals to apply GIScience methods to sustainable spatial planning.
Divided into three parts, the book begins with an introduction to the issues of sustainability, focusing on concepts concerning GIS adoption and use within public organizations that are planning development. Part II focuses on GIScience methods, which can be used to support sustainable development and solve environmental problems. Part III presents research projects and best practices relating to different areas of application within the field.
This text provides the latest research findings, delivers complete references to related publications, and supplies you with a complete reference framework for each topic

Advanced Analysis of Steel Frames Theory, Software, and Applications
Wai-Fah Chen, Shouji Toma,

ISBN: 0849382815

PDF 25,6 MB
The development of the limit state approach to design in recent years has focused particular attention on two basic requirements: accurate information regarding the behavior of structures throughout the entire range of loading up to the ultimate strength, and simple practical procedures to enable engineers to assess this behavior. This book satisfies these requirements by providing practical analysis methods for the design of steel frames. The book contains a wide range of second-order analyses: from elastic to inelastic, rigid to semi-rigid connections, and simple plastic hinge method to sophisticated plastic-zone method. Computer programs for each analysis are provided in the form of a floppy disk for easy implementation. Sample problems are described and user's manuals are well documented for each program developed in the book.

Stream Ecology by Allan and Castillo is extensively revised and updated from the successful first edition to include major developments over the past decade. Although the subject matter is relatively advanced, this book has been written with the express goal of being accessible to students with only modest backgrounds in ecology and aquatic sciences. The First Edition was widely praised for its readability, and that emphasis is retained. The second edition opens with a new introductory chapter that sets the stage for what follows. The treatment of geomorphology and hydrology are greatly expanded from the first edition, and have been split into two, more substantial chapters. Basal energy resources, trophic roles and food web interactions are retained but thoroughly updated, particularly to include recent advances in microbial ecology and the synergies between producers and decomposers. The discussion of species interactions has been re-organized so that modern topics receive more emphasis, including trophic cascades, subsidies and food web structure. Chapters on organic matter dynamics and nutrient cycling have been substantially re-written to reflect the enormous growth in knowledge of stream metabolism and nutrient processes, the core of ecosystem functioning. The closing chapter on human impacts summarizes the status of river ecosystems and principal threats, and new material that describes advances in river management including the science of environmental flows, the successes and failures of river restoration, and the potential for ecosystem-based catchment management.

Designing with Structural Steel A Guide for Architects

Designing with Structural Steel A Guide for Architects
Alford Johnson
American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc.
2nd edition, 2002
ISBN 1564240525
PDF 2.3 MB
374 pages
The purpose of this Guide is to provide architects with the tools needed to feel more comfortable and confident working with structural steel in building projects. With a greater understanding of the characteristics and inherent benefits of structural steel, architects will be prepared to better utilize steel as a framing material. Some of the strengths structural steel offers in building design is high resiliency and performance under harsh and difficult conditions, i.e., earthquakes and hurricanes. Steel offers the ability to span great distances with slenderness and grace. Steel can be shaped to achieve curved forms and goes up quickly to meet tough construction schedules in almost any weather condition. Steel can be easily modified in the future to satisfy changing requirements.

Any nonlinear theories or finite elements have to be tested before they can be put into practice. Using the rigid body concept, this book provides simple rules for examining the validity of nonlinear theories and finite elements derived for structural members. The rules can be applied as well to testing the consistency of existing theories or computer analysis programs for nonlinear structures. Covers linear analysis and element quality test; nonlinear trusses and incremental constitutive laws; nonlinear analysis of planar frames; fundamentals of nonlinear theory of space frames; stiffness matrices for nonlinear analysis of space frames; theory and analysis on buckling of curved beams; and procedures for geometric nonlinear analysis. Provides numerous examples containing both analytical and numerical solutions. For mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineers
