Yiannis Tsompanakis, Nikkos D. Lagaros - Structural Design Optimization Considering Uncertainties
Taylor & Francis
2008
ISBN: 0415452600
Pages: 634
PDF
9.30 MB
Typically, uncertainties play a dominant role during the design and optimization procedure of structures and products. This book presents the latest research findings in the scientific field of structural optimization considering uncertainties. The selected contributions deal with the use of probabilistic methods for the optimal design of different types of structures and various considerations of uncertainties. This new volume is a "multi-collective" book of twenty-one, high-quality and self-contained chapters, which present state-of-the-art theoretical advances and applications in various fields of probabilistic computational mechanics.

An innovative concept, smart structural systems have proven to be extremely effective in absorbing damaging energy and/or counteracting potentially devastating force, thus limiting structural collapse and subsequent injury. As this technology rapidly evolves, there is an ever-increasing need for an authoritative reference that will allow those in the field to stay abreast of the very latest advances.
Smart Structures: Innovative Systems for Seismic Response organizes current research and technology to provide researchers and practicing engineers, as well as advanced students, with the means to learn about and apply the very latest smart structure innovations. Key features include—
Complete mathematical formulations and numerical procedures for topics presented New technologies Design guidelines and examples based on current official codes Consideration of smart structures on a variety of foundations Discussion of the use of smart structures with passive or semi-active devices Extensive references
Designed for self-teaching, the text emphasizes essential information on structural formulations, mechanism of control systems, and numerical algorithms. It also provides step-by-step numerical examples to illustrate mathematical formulations and interpret physical representations, enabling readers to understand the forumulae vis-à-vis their applications. Each chapter comprehensively explores a specific topic, from smart structure systems currently in use, to case studies utilizing simulated earthquake data.

Building Fire Performance Analysis by Robert W Fitzgerald
Building Fire Performance Analysis
Publisher: Wiley | 2004-07-23 | ISBN 0470863269 | Pages: 515 | PDF | 5 MB
Around the world, prescriptive building codes and fire safety standards are increasingly being replaced or supplemented by performance-based standards. This book discusses the implications in the industry to provide increased design flexibility, lower costs, improved safety, and even enhanced global trade.
The building fire performance evaluation procedures described in this book can be used with any code, standard, or regulatory requirements. The key feature of this publication is its aid to professionals who work in the building and other such industries to make better decisions concerning fire performance and to communicate more effectively with professionals in other disciplines working in this area.

Book Description:
A clear and concise reference guide on integrating fire protection design, Fire Protection Engineering in Building Design encompasses not only the basic information on the functions, design, and applications of fire protection systems; but also reveals how this information can and should be integrated with every other major engineering discipline.
Protecting people, buildings and the environment from the impact of fire requires a comprehensive, systematic approach that includes the analysis of fire hazards as well as the design, installation and maintenance of fire detection, suppression and communications systems. Jane Lataille takes the reader beyond these basic issues and includes information on mitigating potential fire damage through proper design and construction of buildings, industrial processes and utility systems.
Through specific examples, the reader sees how fire protection engineering can be integrated with mechanical, electrical, structural, and chemical engineering. The book also includes a section on writing fire protection specifications as well as a comprehensive reference list.
* Assure effective fire protection design through engineering
* Avoid costly fire protection redesign
* Effectively integrate fire protection features into project specifications
