A Powerful Tool for the Analysis and Design of Complex Structural Elements
Finite-Element Modelling of Structural Concrete: Short-Term Static and Dynamic Loading Conditions presents a finite-element model of structural concrete under short-term loading, covering the whole range of short-term loading conditions, from static (monotonic and cyclic) to dynamic (seismic and impact) cases. Experimental data on the behavior of concrete at both the material and structural levels reveal the unavoidable development of triaxial stress conditions prior to failure which dictate the collapse and ductility of structural concrete members. Moreover, and in contrast with generally accepted tenets, it can be shown that the post-peak behavior of concrete as a material is realistically described by a complete and immediate loss of load-carrying capacity. Hence rational analysis and design of concrete components in accordance with the currently prevailing limit-state philosophy requires the use of triaxial material data consistent with the notion of a fully brittle material, and this approach is implemented in the book by outlining a finite-element method for the prediction of the strength, deformation, and cracking patterns of arbitrary structural concrete forms.
Presents a Unified Approach to Structural Modeling
Numerous examples are given that show both the unifying generality of this proposed approach and the reliability of the ensuing numerical procedure for which the sole input is the specified uniaxial cylinder compressive strength of concrete and the yield stress of the steel. This not only offers a better understanding of the phenomenology of structural concrete behavior but also illustrates, by means of suitable examples, the type of revision required for improving design methods in terms of both safety and economy.
This book:
Highlights the significance of valid experimental information on the behavior of concrete under triaxial stress conditions for interpreting structural behavior
Describes the techniques used for obtaining valid test data and modeling concrete behavior
Discusses the modeling of steel properties as well as the interaction between concrete and steel
Presents numerical techniques for incorporating the material models into nonlinear finite-element analysis for the case of short-term static loading
Provides numerical techniques adopted for extending the use of the numerical analysis scheme for the solution of dynamic problems
Predicts the response of a wide range of structural-concrete configurations to seismic and impact excitations
Using relevant case studies throughout, Finite-Element Modelling of Structural Concrete: Short-Term Static and Dynamic Loading Conditions focuses on the realistic modeling of structural concrete on the basis of existing and reliable material data and aids in the research and study of structural concrete and concrete materials.

Presenting an introduction to elementary structural analysis methods and principles, this book will help readers develop a thorough understanding of both the behavior of structural systems under load and the tools needed to analyze those systems. Throughout the chapters, they'll explore both statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures. And they'll find hands-on examples and problems that illustrate key concepts and give them opportunity to apply what they've learned

Application of the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) for the evaluation of seismic performance isreviewed and updates presented. The role of the CPT in geotechnical earthquake engineering is presented.The use of the CPT to identify soil behavior type and the normalization of CPT parameters is also reviewedand updates presented. The case-history based method to evaluate the resistance of sand-like soils to cyclicloading is reviewed and compared with the expanded and re-evaluated case history database. The laboratory based method to evaluate the resistance of clay-like soils to cyclic loading is reviewed and modified for appli-cation using the CPT. A new combined CPT-based method to evaluate the resistance to cyclic loading is pro- posed that covers all soils and is evaluated using an expanded case history database. The CPT-based methodis extended to estimate both volumetric and shear strains for all soils and evaluated using the expanded casehistory database
