Perspectives on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering: In Honour of Prof. Kenji Ishihara
Author(s): Atilla Ansal , Mohamed Sakr (Editors)
Published By:Springer
Published Year:2015
Size: 55.3 MB
Quality:Unspecified
Abstract: it was a privilege to organize the international conference on earthquake Geotechnical engineering from case history to Practice in the honour of Prof. kenji ishihara in istanbul, turkey during 17–19 June 2013.
avery prominent group of specialists in the field of earthquake geotechnical
engineering delivered lectures of significant importance reflecting the recent developments in their field of interest during this conference. it was decided to compile most of these presentations in one book so that it may be available to specialists and
those that are involved with research and application in the field of geotechnical engineering. the book is composed of 18 chapters.

Hyperbolic structures analyses the interactions of form with the structural behaviour of hyperbolic lattice towers, and the effects of the various influencing factors were determined with the help of parametric studies and load capacity analyses. This evaluation of Shukhov’s historical calculations and the reconstruction of the design and development process of his water towers shows why the Russian engineer is considered not only a pathfinder for lightweight structures but also a pioneer of parametrised design processes.

Introduction to Structural Analysis : Displacement and Force Methods
Author(s)/Editor(s): S. T. Mau | Size: 25 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2012 | pages: 327 | ISBN: 1466504161 , ISBN13: 9780750689441
Bridging the gap between what is traditionally taught in textbooks and what is actually practiced in engineering firms, Introduction to Structural Analysis: Displacement and Force Methods clearly explains the two fundamental methods of structural analysis: the displacement method and the force method. It also shows how these methods are applied, particularly to trusses, beams, and rigid frames.
Acknowledging the fact that virtually all computer structural analysis programs are based on the matrix displacement method of analysis, the text begins with the displacement method. A matrix operations tutorial is also included for review and self-learning. To minimize any conceptual difficulty readers may have, the displacement method is introduced with the plane truss analysis and the concept of nodal displacement.
The book then presents the force method of analysis for plane trusses to illustrate force equilibrium, deflection, statistical indeterminacy, and other concepts that help readers to better understand the behavior of a structure. It also extends the force method to beam and rigid frame analysis. Toward the end of the book, the displacement method reappears along with the moment distribution and slope-deflection methods in the context of beam and rigid frame analysis. Other topics covered include influence lines, non-prismatic members, composite structures, secondary stress analysis, and limits of linear and static structural analysis.
Integrating classical and modern methodologies, this book explains complicated analysis using simplified methods and numerous examples. It provides readers with an understanding of the underlying methodologies of finite element analysis and the practices used by professional structural engineers.

Cut-and-Cover Metro StructuresGeo-Structural Design: An Integrated Approach
Author(s)/Editor(s): Krishan Kaul | Size: 19 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Taylor and Francis | Year: 2010 | pages: 672 | ISBN: 9780415469074
Because of their complexity and scale, metro structures capture all the essential aspects of a cut-and-cover structure, and so are given primary focus in this book. The design of a metro construction is outlined coherently and in detail; and the reader is shown how to apply this design process equally well to other, relatively simple, cut-and-cover structures.
Geotechnical and structural engineering principles are combined with both design and construction practice to make this book a unique guide for engineers.

The paper provides an overview of the current design methodology for wind load based on ASCE-7 (2002) and IBC (2003). In addition, an attempt is made to identify the issues in developing a performance-based design methodology for wind loading, in particular for reinforced concrete frame buildings. Explicit comparisons of wind and earthquake loading on structural systems are made to leverage a discussion for a performance based wind design methodology.\
It is demonstrated that significant differences in performance based design methodologies will exist due to the nature of the loadings and the different design philosophies. Future research is required on establishing criteria for appropriate performance objectives and performance levels during serviceability and strength loading conditions.
