The 15 chapters in this volume are arranged in a logical progression. The text begins with the more fundamental materials on stress, strain and plane elasticity. There follows a full treatment of the theories of bending and torsion. Coverage of moment distribution, shear flow, struts and energy methods precedes a chapter on finite elements. Thereafter, the book presents yield and strength criteria, plasticity, collapse, creep, visco-elasticity, fatigue and fracture mechanics. Appended is material on the properties of areas, matrices and stress concentrations. Each topic is illustrated by worked examples and supported by numerous exercises.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are becoming increasingly popular as a material for rehabilitating aging and damaged structures. Rehabilitation of Metallic Civil Infrastructure Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites explores the use of fiber-reinforced composites for enhancing the stability and extending the life of metallic infrastructure such as bridges.
Part I provides an overview of materials and repair, encompassing topics of joining steel to FRP composites, finite element modeling, and durability issues. Part II discusses the use of FRP composites to repair steel components, focusing on thin-walled (hollow) steel sections, steel tension members, and cracked aluminum components. Building on Part II, the third part of the book reviews the fatigue life of strengthened components. Finally, Part IV covers the use of FRP composites to rehabilitate different types of metallic infrastructure, with chapters on bridges, historical metallic structures and other types of metallic infrastructure.
Rehabilitation of Metallic Civil Infrastructure Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites represents a standard reference for engineers and designers in infrastructure and fiber-reinforced polymer areas and manufacturers in the infrastructure industry, as well as academics and researchers in the field.
Looks at the use of FRP composites to repair components such as hollow steel sections and steel tension members
Considers ways of assessing the durability and fatigue life of components
Reviews applications of FRP to infrastructure such as steel bridges.

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 42: Sustainable Airport Construction Practices explores a set of best practices, methods, procedures, and materials that if implemented during construction may have a sustainable, positive economic, operational, environmental, or social effect. The report includes the collection of sustainable airport construction practices in a searchable, filterable spreadsheet format on a CD-ROM, which is packaged with the report.

Designing Rainwater Harvesting Systems: Integrating Rainwater into Building Systems
Author: Celeste Allen Novak, Eddie Van Giesen, Kathy M. DeBusk | Size: 12 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2014 | Pages: 312 | ISBN: 9781118410479, 1118410475
Water conservation is one of the most effective sustainable design practices, yet few professionals know how to collect and use rainwater effectively. Rainwater Harvesting the first comprehensive book on designing rainwater harvesting systems. It provides practical guidelines for developing a rainwater harvesting strategy, taking into account climate, public policies, environmental impact, and end uses. Case studies are included throughout. Rainwater Harvesting is a valuable reference for architects, landscape architects, and site engineers.

Target acceleration in multimodal pushover method for R/C frames
Author: Ivan Balić , BSc. CE University of Split :Prof. Ante Mihanović, PhD. CE University of Split:Prof. Boris Trogrlić, PhD. CE University of Split | Size: 1.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Year: 2013 | pages: 14
The procedure of searching the target ground acceleration as a measure of the lowest seismic
resistance is presented in the paper. This objective is achieved by the multimodal pushover
analysis based on the envelope principle. The pushover method founded on the linear combination
of modes (L), and on mode combinations as a square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS), is
presented. Examples of 5-storey and 9-storey R/C frames point to a highly significant influence
of higher modes. The failure ground acceleration in multimodal pushover analysis is significantly
lower, and even several times lower, compared to the single mode acceleration.

Pushover Analysis of 4 Storey’s Reinforced Concrete Building
Author: Kavita Golghate :Vijay Baradiya: Amit Sharma | Size: 99 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: International Journal of Latest Trends in Engineering and Technology (IJLTET) | Year: 2013 | pages: 5
The earthquakes in the Indian subcontinent have led to an increase in the seismic zoning factor over many
parts of the country. Also, ductility has become an issue for all building that was designed and detailed using earlier
versions of the codes. Under such circumstances, seismic qualification of building has become extremely important.
The structural engineering profession has been using the nonlinear static procedure (NSP) or pushover analysis.
Modeling for such analysis requires the determination of the nonlinear properties of each component in the structure,
quantified by strength and deformation capacities, which depend on the modeling assumptions. Pushover analysis is
carried out for either user-defined nonlinear hinge properties or default-hinge properties, available in some
programs based on the FEMA-356 and ATC-40 guidelines. This paper aims to evaluate the zone –IV selected
reinforced concrete building to conduct the non-linear static analysis (Pushover Analysis). The pushover analysis
shows the pushover curves, capacity spectrum, plastic hinges and performance level of the building. The non-linear
static analysis gives better understanding and more accurate seismic performance of buildings of the damage or
failure element.
