Over the past three to four decades the interest in geosynthetics among civil engineers has grown considerably and understanding in their correct use has improved. At the same time, significant progress has been made with the use of geosynthetics in civil engineering applications. In fact, geosynthetics have become a construction material commonly used in present-day civil engineering practice throughout the world. Fundamentals of Geosynthetic Engineering provides an overview of the basic concepts of this subject, especially meeting the requirements of students in civil engineering as well as of practising civil engineers who have not been educated on geosynthetics during their university training. All major aspects related to the field applications, including application guidelines and description of case studies, have been included with a view to generate full confidence in the engineering use of geosynthetics. Presentation and layout of the book are attractive and consistent. The book contains a large number of line drawings, sketches, graphs, photographs, and tables to explain the (basic) concepts of all the topics covered in the Work. The aim of the book is to assist all those who want to learn about fundamentals of geosynthetic engineering. Readers will find this book very lively/interactive, and they will understand the basic concepts of most of the topics by self-reading only.

This textbook gives a clear and thorough presentation of the fundamental principles of mechanics and strength of materials. It provides both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials on an intermediate theoretical level, ranging from the mechanical properties of materials through the effects of axial load, torsion, bending, and transverse shear to stresses and strains in bars and continuum mechanics. The book is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students in materials science courses in Mechanical, Civil, and Aerospace Engineering departments. Due to its solid theoretical presentation of basic concepts, the book can also be used as a reference tool by postgraduates and researchers in the fields of solid mechanics as well as practicing engineers.

Stability and Optimization of Structures: Generalized Sensitivity Analysis is the first book to address issues of structural optimization against nonlinear buckling. Through the investigation of imperfection sensitivity, worst imperfection and random imperfection based on concrete theoretical framework, it is shown that optimization against buckling does not necessarily produce an imperfection-sensitive structure.
This book offers the reader greater insight into optimization-based and computer-assisted stability design of finite-dimensional structures. Using the unified approach to parameter sensitivity analysis, it connects studies of elastic stability, computational mechanics and applied mathematics. Optimization based on stability theory is presented and explained, with 140 figures to illustrate applications in the framework of finite element analysis.

This program provides unequaled flexibility for the design of different types of shear, moment, bracing and splice connections. It is based upon the provisions of the ANSI/AISC 360-05 for Steel Design Specifications and considers mainly W and HSS shapes.
You can call the program after RAM Structural System or RAM Advanse and use automatically the results of the analysis and design of members.
The connection design can also be customized to adhere to your typical office standards.
Design in RAM Connection
Connections can be designed by one of these three methods in RAM Connection (RC) and RAM Connection Standalone (RCSA) programs. The first method could be called a "trial and error" procedure. In this method the engineer defines a database of different connections (note that many connections are already supplied with the program itself), assigning one to the joint and the program will indicate if it is suitable for the joint. The engineer can then manually either assign another connection, or adjust the first connection he/she assigned. The second method would be to have the program search through a list of the database connections to find the first one in the list that works for the joint (geometry and forces). The third method is similar to the second but rather than search through a predefined list the program will assign a single smart connection to the joint. These three methods provide the engineer with complete control over the design of their individual connections.

William R. Spillers, Keith M. MacBain "Structural Optimization"
Springer | English | 2009-05-29 | ISBN: 0387958649 | 315 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Structural Optimization is intended to supplement the engineer’s box of analysis and design tools making optimization as commonplace as the finite element method in the engineering workplace. It begins with an introduction to structural optimization and the methods of nonlinear programming such as Lagrange multipliers, Kuhn-Tucker conditions, and calculus of variations. It then discusses solution methods for optimization problems such as the classic method of linear programming which leads to the method of sequential linear programming. It then proposes using sequential linear programming together with the incremental equations of structures as a general method for structural optimization. It is furthermore intended to give the engineer an overview of the field of structural optimization.

Thin-Walled Structures with Structural Imperfections
Every structural designer involved with thin-walled structures should read this book. Most engineers are familiar with the concept of buckling, and powerful finite element packages will easily compute the buckling loads of a structures. In most FEM programs, buckling is meant to be the bifurcation load of the perfect structure and most likely a mesh is available for the perfect, idealized structure. Quoting Zienkiewicz “…quite frequently this type of approach is used beyond its limits of applicability.” Godoy’s book will show you why imperfect structures can fail at one-half the bifurcation load and will teach you how to get a good approximation to the critical load of the imperfect structure. You will learn to recognize an imperfection sensitive structure, what is the effect of interacting imperfections, and so on. The book is most useful to designers with good background on finite elements and thin-walled shell theory. It is also a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in this field, both as a self contained dissertation on the most practical types of problems and as a rich introduction to the broader field of stability of thin-walled structures. The basics of perturbation techniques required for the analysis are presented in the appendix.
