In this revised second edition, Elements of Plasticity continues to bridge the gap between classical theory and modern computational techniques and does so by focusing on the most important elements of theory and computation using matrix notation. Some complementary aspects of creep and viscoplasticity are considered and a number of applications from engineering practice are used to demonstrate the use of computational techniques. Practicing engineers, consultants and graduate students from civil, mechanical, automotive and aerospace engineering will find this revised edition indispensable.

The most common terminals for tankers are sea islands and piers; however, many other shipboard operations such as mooring at Single Point Moorings (SPM's), Multi-Buoy Moorings (MBM's), emergency towing, barge mooring, tug handling, anchoring, canal transit may fall into the category of mooring and thus require specialized equipment or fittings.

Abstract
Bridge girders exposed to aggressive environmental conditions are subject to time-variant changes in resistance. There is therefore a need for evaluation procedures that produce accurate predictions of the load-carrying capacity and reliability of bridge structures to allow rational decisions to be made about repair, rehabilitation and expected life-cycle costs. This study deals with the stability of damaged steel I-beams with web opening subjected to bending loads. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model using ABAQUS for the elastic flexural torsional analysis of I-beams has been used to assess the effect of web opening on the lateral buckling moment capacity. Artificial neural network (ANN) approach has been also employed to derive empirical formulae for predicting the lateral-torsional buckling moment capacity of deteriorated steel I-beams with different sizes of rectangular web opening using obtained FE results. It is found out that the proposed formulae can accurately predict residual lateral buckling capacities of doubly-symmetric steel I-beams with rectangular web opening. Hence, the results of this study can be used for better prediction of buckling life of web opening of steel beams by practice engineers.

Author: by Richard A. Davis, Jr., Robert W. Dalrymple | Size: 50 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Sрringеr SсiBus | Year: 2012 | pages: 638 | ISBN: 9400701225 9789400701229 9789400701236
This book presents a comprehensive, contemporary review of tidal environments and deposits, overview of tidal sedimentology. The approach is comprehensive with state-of-the-art reviews of the full spectrum of tidal depositional environments, from supratidal salt marshes, through the full range of coastal environments and continental shelves, to the deep sea.
Examples from modern environments and ancient deposits are provided, and both siliciclastic and carbonate environments are discussed.
The book is organized in the following four parts.
1) Chapters 1 – 4 provide overviews of the fundamentals of: the generation of tides, the nature of sediment transport by tidal currents, the criteria by which tidal deposits can be recognized, and the ichnology of tidal deposits.
2) Chapters 5 – 14 review the charac teristics of the full range of siliciclastic tidal environments, including both tide-dominated estuaries and deltas, as well as the various tidal components of barrier-lagoon systems. These chapters cover all aspects of the sedimentology of these environments, from the details of the physical processes operating in them, through the morphodynamics and facies, and the stratigraphic organization of the deposits.
3) Chapters 15 – 18 provide syntheses of particular times and places in earth history where tidal deposits are particularly notable.
4) Chapters 19 – 21 discuss tidal sedimentation in modern and ancient carbonate environments.

Applied GPS for Engineers and Project Managers introduces civil engineers—especially those who are not already licensed surveyors—to the fundamental principles of global positioning technology (GPS). This book covers GPS basics, including positioning and measuring principles, techniques to improve accuracy, and an analysis of low-cost versus high-precision systems. Subsequent chapters explain the considerations for selecting and implementing a GPS system and then demonstrate specific applications of GPS in a variety of engineering situations, including monitoring the health of structures, robotics and machine control, maritime operations, material tracking in large construction sites, site control and design, and monitoring geohazards.
This book will be valuable for all civil engineers interested in benefiting from the use of GPS technologies.

Intraplate earthquakes occur away from tectonic plate boundaries: their locations are difficult to predict, risking huge damage and loss of life. The 2001 Bhuj earthquake (featured in this book) was the largest intraplate earthquake for three decades and has provided unique insight into these events. This cutting-edge book brings together research from international leading experts in the field. Each chapter provides a comprehensive review of these earthquakes in a different global location, ranging from Australia, China, India and the Sea of Japan, to Western Europe, Brazil, New Madrid (Central USA), and Eastern Canada. They explore similarities and differences between regional features and the mechanical models required to explain them, as well as assessing geophysical techniques used to investigate them. Providing the first global overview of intraplate earthquakes, this is an essential book for academic researchers and professionals in seismology, tectonics, tectonophysics, geodesy, structural geology, earthquake dynamics, geophysics, and structural engineering.
> The first global perspective on intraplate earthquakes, illustrating the similarities, differences and unique features of the subject in different parts of the world
> Every chapter is authored by an expert in the site area, providing perspectives from global leaders in the field
> Each chapter displays different features of its local site and different techniques applied to its study, demonstrating how varying conditions dictate approaches to the subject
