Energy Methods in Dynamics (Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics)
Author: Khanh Chau Le, Lu Trong Khiem Nguyen | Size: 9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2014 | pages: 419 | ISBN: 331905418X
Energy Methods in Dynamics is a textbook based on the lectures given by the first author at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. Its aim is to help students acquire both a good grasp of the first principles from which the governing equations can be derived, and the adequate mathematical methods for their solving. Its distinctive features, as seen from the title, lie in the systematic and intensive use of Hamilton's variational principle and its generalizations for deriving the governing equations of conservative and dissipative mechanical systems, and also in providing the direct variational-asymptotic analysis, whenever available, of the energy and dissipation for the solution of these equations. It demonstrates that many well-known methods in dynamics like those of Lindstedt-Poincare, Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky, Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM), Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB), and Whitham are derivable from this variational-asymptotic analysis.
This second edition includes the solutions to all exercises as well as some new materials concerning amplitude and slope modulations of nonlinear dispersive waves.

The Highway Capacity Manual: A Conceptual and Research History: Volume 1: Uninterrupted Flow
Author: Roger P. Roess, Elena S. Prassas | Size: 16 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2014 | pages: 470 | ISBN: 3319057855
Since 1950, the Highway Capacity Manual has been a standard used in the planning, design, analysis, and operation of virtually any highway traffic facility in the United States. It has also been widely used abroad, and has spurred the development of similar manuals in other countries.
The twin concepts of capacity and level of service have been developed in the manual, and methodologies have been presented that allow highway traffic facilities to be designed on a common basis, and allow for the analysis of operational quality under various traffic demand scenarios. The manual also addresses related pedestrian, bicycle, and transit issues.
This book details the fundamental development of the concepts of capacity and level of service, and of the specific methodologies developed to describe them over a wide range of facility types. The book is comprised of two volumes. Volume 1 (this book) focuses on the development of basic principles, and their application to uninterrupted flow facilities: freeways, multilane highways, and two-lane highways. Weaving, merging, and diverging segments on freeways and multilane highways are also discussed in detail. Volume 2
focuses on interrupted flow facilities: signalized and unsignalized intersections, urban streets and arterials. It is intended to help users of the manual understand how concepts, approaches, and specific methodologies were developed, and to understand the underlying principles that each embodies. It is also intended to act as a basic reference for current and future researchers who will continue to develop new and improved capacity analysis methodologies for many years to come.

Indian Standard SEISMIC EVALUATION AND STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS — GUIDELINES
Size: 1.3 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: B U R E A U O F I N D I A N S T A N D A R D S MANAK BHAVAN, 9 BAHADUR SHAH ZAFAR MARG NEW DELHI | Year: 2013 | pages: 25
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Earthquake
Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
This standard is intended to reduce the risk of death and injury that may result from the damaging effects of
earthquake on building which predate the current seismic codes [IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002 ‘Criteria for earthquake
resistant design of structures: Part 1 General provisions and buildings’, IS 4326 : 1993 ‘Code of practice for
earthquake resistant design and construction of buildings’ and IS 13920 : 1993 ‘Ductile detailing of reinforced
concrete structures subjected to seismic forces — Code of practice’] or have not been designed for earthquake
forces.
This standard describes a set of key steps and procedures for the assessment of the expected seismic performance
of existing building in the event of a design level earthquake and where found necessary, strengthening of existing
structural systems and elements for improved seismic performance.
Seismic forces for evaluation criteria of existing buildings are different from those meant for the design of new
buildings. Appropriate modifications are made to address the issues of reduced serviceable life and acceptable
risk for higher importance. Further, to account for uncertainty in the reliability of available information about the
existing structure and the condition of structure components, strength calculations need to be suitably modified.
For deficient buildings, a broad outline for the design seismic strengthening measures has been developed and
the interface with current design codes in general terms has been identified.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived from the following publications:

Program Plan for the Development of Collapse Assessment and Mitigation Strategies for Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Size: 5.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: NEHRP Consultants Joint Venture A partnership of the Applied Technology Council and the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering | Year: 2010 | pages: 100
Reinforced concrete buildings designed and constructed prior to the introduction of seismic design provisions for ductile response (commonly referred to as nonductile concrete buildings) represent one of the largest seismic safety concerns in the United States and the world. The need for improvement in collapse assessment technology for existing nonductile concrete buildings has been recognized as a high-priority
because: (1) such buildings represent a significant percentage of the vulnerable building stock across the United States; (2) failure of such buildings can involve total collapse, substantial loss of life, and significant economic loss; (3) at present, the
ability to predict collapse thresholds for different types of older reinforced concrete buildings is limited; (4) recent research has focused on older West Coast concrete buildings; and, (5) full advantage has not yet been taken of past research products
(ATC, 2003). The National Science Foundation awarded a George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Grand Challenge project to the Pacific
Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center to develop comprehensive strategies for identifying seismically hazardous older concrete buildings, enable prediction of the collapse of such buildings, and to develop and promote costeffective
hazard mitigation strategies for them. Products from this important research effort are expected to soon be available, creating an opportunity for transferring past and present research results into design practice. Recognizing this opportunity, the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) has initiated a multi-phase project with the primary objective being the development of nationally accepted guidelines for assessing and mitigating the risk of
collapse in older nonductile concrete buildings. This report summarizes efforts to define the scope and content of recommended guidance documents, the necessary
analytical studies, and estimated schedule and budget needed for their development. Based on limitations in current seismic evaluation and rehabilitation practice in the United States (Chapter 2), a review of information currently being developed in the NEES Grand Challenge project (Chapter 3), and an understanding of common deficiencies found in nonductile concrete buildings (Chapter 4), the following critical needs for addressing the collapse risk associated with older concrete construction have been identified:
