Editorial Reviews Product Description
With Active Control of Structures, two global pioneers present the state-of-the-art in the theory, design and application of active vibration control. As the demand for high performance structural systems increases, so will the demand for information and innovation in structural vibration control; this book provides an effective treatise of the subject that will meet this requirement. The authors introduce active vibration control through the use of smart materials and structures, semi-active control devices and a variety of feedback options; they then discuss topics including methods and devices in civil structures, modal analysis, active control of high-rise buildings and bridge towers, active tendon control of cable structures, and active and semi-active isolation in mechanical structures.
Active Control of Structures:
* Discusses new types of vibration control methods and devices, including the newly developed reduced-order physical modelling method for structural control;
* Introduces triple high-rise buildings connected by active control bridges as devised by Professor Seto;
* Offers a design strategy from modelling to controller design for flexible structures;
* Makes prolific use of practical examples and figures to describe the topics and technology in an intelligible manner.

Product Description:
Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering, encapsulating the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of the field. The authors address a myriad of topics, covering both traditional and innovative approaches to analysis, design, and rehabilitation. The second edition has been expanded and reorganized to be more informative and cohesive. It also follows the developments that have emerged in the field since the previous edition, such as advanced analysis for structural design, performance-based design of earthquake-resistant structures, lifecycle evaluation and condition assessment of existing structures, the use of high-performance materials for construction, and design for safety. Additionally, the book includes numerous tables, charts, and equations, as well as extensive references, reading lists, and websites for further study or more in-depth information. Emphasizing practical applications and easy implementation, this text reflects the increasingly global nature of engineering, compiling the efforts of an international panel of experts from industry and academia. This is a necessity for anyone studying or practicing in the field of structural engineering. New to this edition · Fundamental theories of structural dynamics · Advanced analysis · Wind and earthquake-resistant design · Design of prestressed concrete, masonry, timber, and glass structures · Properties, behavior, and use of high-performance steel, concrete, and fiber-reinforced polymers · Semirigid frame structures · Structural bracing · Structural design for fire safety

Nonlinear Vibrations and Stability of Shells and Plates
This unique book explores both theoretical and experimental aspects of nonlinear vibrations and stability of shells and plates. It is ideal for researchers, professionals, students, and instructors. Expert researchers will find the most recent progresses in nonlinear vibrations and stability of shells and plates, including advanced problems of shells with fluid-structure interaction. Professionals will find many practical concepts, diagrams, and numerical results, useful for the design of shells and plates made of traditional and advanced materials. They will be able to understand complex phenomena such as dynamic instability, bifurcations, and chaos, without needing an extensive mathematical background. Graduate students will find (i) a complete text on nonlinear mechanics of shells and plates, collecting almost all the available theories in a simple form, (ii) an introduction to nonlinear dynamics, and (iii) the state of art on the nonlinear vibrations and stability of shells and plates, including fluid-structure interaction problems.

Review
Excerpts from review by H. I. Epstein, University of Connecticut This new edition (3rd ed., CH, Apr'95) of this handbook is divided into seven sections covering the fields of civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, chemical and process plant, water and wastewater, and environmental engineering. Within each section there are several major topics, further divided into numerous subtopics... Choice 20050201 A previous edition of this work is cited in Books for College Libraries, 3e This resource for practicing engineers presents more than 5000 calculation procedures for solving common engineering problems. The volume is divided into sections corresponding to seven engineering disciplines: civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, sanitary, environmental, and chemical. Utilizing a "cookbook" format, the handbook describes the problem to be solved; provides numbered calculation procedures to be followed; works out an example problem; and (in most instances) presents related calculations.

Covering every aspect of drawing preparation, both manual and computer-aided, this comprehensive manual is an essential tool for students, architects and architectural technologists. Showing what information is required on each type of document, how drawings relate to specifications, and how to organize and document your work, this handbook presents a fully illustrated guide to all the key methods and techniques.
Thoroughly revised and redesigned, this fourth edition has brand new computer-generated drawings throughout and is updated to cover all aspects of computer use in the modern building design process.
1. A working tool that provides practical help, written in an accessible style
2. A comprehensive guide presenting not only what to draw, but how and in what sequence
3. Stylishly presented and concise content makes it easy to learn methods and techniques
Working drawings produced both manually and using packages such as AutoCAD, continue to be a core part of architectural practice and the construction process. From their production by architectural assistants or technicians, to their use in the site office and later by facilities managers, these drawings are a vital source of technical information. While the very largest architectural practices have their own unique systems to produce working drawings, all students and young professionals learn basic techniques and methods. Working Drawings Handbook presents all you need to know to produce a set of functional and clear architectural plans. This comprehensive manual covers both manual and computer-aided design. It shows what information is required on each type of document, how drawings relate to specifications, and how to organize and document work. This handbook presents a fully illustrated guide to all the key methods and techniques.
