Structural Analysis: Civil Engineering Course Material from IIT Kharagpur, cover structural analysis, in seven modules / 40 lessons
Structural analysis and design is a very old art and is known to human beings since early civilizations. The Pyramids constructed by Egyptians around 2000 B.C. stands today as the testimony to the skills of master builders of that civilization. Many early civilizations produced great builders, skilled craftsmen who constructed magnificent buildings such as the Parthenon at Athens (2500 years old), the great Stupa at Sanchi (2000 years old), Taj Mahal (350 years old), Eiffel Tower (120 years old) and many more buildings around the world. These monuments tell us about the great feats accomplished by these craftsmen in analysis, design and construction of large structures. Today we see around us countless houses, bridges, fly-overs, high-rise buildings and spacious shopping malls. Planning, analysis and construction of these buildings is a science by itself. The main purpose of any structure is to support the loads coming on it by properly transferring them to the foundation. Even animals and trees could be treated as structures. Indeed biomechanics is a branch of mechanics, which concerns with the working of skeleton and muscular structures. In the early periods houses were constructed along the riverbanks using the locally available material. They were designed to withstand rain and moderate wind. Today structures are designed to withstand earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones and blast loadings. Aircraft structures are designed for more complex aerodynamic loadings. These have been made possible with the advances in structural engineering and a revolution in electronic computation in the past 50 years. The construction material industry has also undergone a revolution in the last four decades resulting in new materials having more strength and stiffness than the traditional construction material. In this book we are mainly concerned with the analysis of framed structures (beam, plane truss, space truss, plane frame, space frame and grid), arches, cables and suspension bridges subjected to static loads only

Architects, builders and related design professionals are required to design any structure to the minimum requirements set by applicable codes. Failure to do so can mean expensive change orders during construction, delays, loss of client trust and even litigation. This work explains the standard building code for the entire United States, which replaces the regional UBC, BOCA and SBCCI codes. It explains building code requirements pictorially, with the aim of facilitating comprehension.

Book Description:
You've been given a project to run. You know you need to get it right, but you don't know what you need to do and in what order to make sure it all runs smoothly and you come out of it looking great. You need Project Management Step by Step.
Almost every manager and businessperson finds at some time that he or she has to complete a task that has sufficient complexity and importance that an ad-hoc approach to getting it done is just not enough. Managers in this common situation need the structure and rigour of a project management approach, yet very few managers are formally trained in project management or have the inclination, time or finances to become trained. They need an approach they can feel confidant is sufficiently robust to ensure their success, but also simple enough to be immediately applicable. Project Management Step by Step provides the solution to this problem; a practical and immediate way to become a competent project manager.
This is a comprehensive and authoritative guide written and structured in a practical and rapidly applicable style.

PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF EBF
USING TARGET DRIFT AND YIELD MECHANISM
AS PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Eccentric braced steel frames (EBFs) are very efficient structures for resisting earthquakes as they combine the ductility of that is haracteristic of moment frames and the stiffness associated with braced frames. In the EBFs inelastic activity is confined to a small length of the floor beams which yields mostly in shear (therefore called the shear link). Capacity design approach is followed in an attempt to limit the inelastic activity to the shear links only while all other frame members are designed to behave elastically. Research work carried out during the seventies and eighties led to the formulation of design code provisions. However, current design practice generally follows elastic analysis procedures in proportioning the frame members. Therefore, it is possible that yielding in the shear links may not be uniformly distributed along the height of the structure and may be concentrated in a few floors causing excessive inelastic deformations at those levels, accompanied by significant plastic hinging in the columns.
