Book Description
Publication Date: July 21, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0419224904 | ISBN-13: 978-0419224907
The central theme of this book is the role of physical testing in the development of design methods for new structural forms, new constructional materials and techniques, as well as new approaches to the maintenance, repair and operation of structures. For some twenty years, there has been a growing trend towards full-scale testing of structures and recently tests have been planned and carried out on some very large-scale structures. This work especially highlights the important link between the behaviour assumed in theory and that encountered in service. Structural Assessment presents the proceedings of the ninth seminar organized by the Institution of Structural Engineers' informal study group 'Model Analysis as a Design Tool'. This seminar provided a forum for discussion and exchange of information on the relevant experience gained from tests in laboratories or on site, and unites practising engineers and researchers from around the world

Introduction to Solid Mechanics: An Integrated Approach presents for the first time in one text the concepts and processes covered in statics and mechanics of materials curricula following a granular, topically integrated approach. Since the turn of the millennium, it has become common in engineering schools to combine the traditional undergraduate offerings in rigid-body statics (usually called “statics”) and deformable body mechanics (known traditionally as “strength of materials” or, more recently, “mechanics of materials”) into a single, introductory course in solid mechanics. Many textbooks for the new course sequentially meld pieces of existing, discrete books--sometimes, but not always, acknowledging the origin--into two halves covering Statics and Mechanics of Materials. In this volume, Professors Lubliner and Papadopoulos methodically combine the essentials of statics and mechanics of materials, illustrating the relationship of concepts throughout, into one "integrated" text. Introduction to Solid Mechanics: An Integrated Perspective offers a holistic treatment of the depth and breadth of solid mechanics, proceeding from first principles to applications.

Methods of controlling mass concrete temperatures range from relatively simple to complex and from inexpensive too costly. Depending on a particular situation, it may be advantageous to use one or more methods over others. Based on the author's 50 years of personal experience in designing mass concrete structures, Thermal Stresses and Temperature Control of Mass Concrete provides a clear and rigorous guide to selecting the right techniques to meet project-specific and financial needs. New techniques such as long time superficial thermal insulation, comprehensive temperature control, and MgO self-expansive concrete are introduced. Features: methods for calculating the temperature field and thermal stresses in dams, docks, tunnels, and concrete blocks and beams on elastic foundations; thermal stress computations that take into account the influences of all factors and simulate the process of construction; analytical methods for determining thermal and mechanical properties of concrete; formulas for determining water temperature in reservoirs and temperature loading of arched dams; and new numerical monitoring methods for mass and semi-mature aged concrete.

Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures
Author: Ehab Ellobody, Ran Feng, Ben Young | Size: 16 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann | Year: 2013 | pages: 211 | ISBN: 0124165613
Traditionally, engineers have used laboratory testing to investigate the behavior of metal structures and systems. These numerical models must be carefully developed, calibrated and validated against the available physical test results. They are commonly complex and very expensive. From concept to assembly, Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures provides civil and structural engineers with the concepts and procedures needed to build accurate numerical models without using expensive laboratory testing methods. Professionals and researchers will find Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures a valuable guide to finite elements in terms of its applications.
Presents design examples for metal tubular connections
Simplified review for general steps of finite element analysis
Commonly used linear and nonlinear analyses in finite element modeling
Realistic examples of concepts and procedures for Finite Element Analysis and Design

Abstract
In conventional design of pile foundations, all loads are taken by the piles, i.e. the contact pressure between the raft and the soil is neglected. In the last decades geotechnical engineers have started to take this pressure into account in design of pile foundation. Such a foundation, where the raft and the piles interact to transfer the loads to the ground, is in this dissertation called piled raft foundation or piled raft.
Analysis of piled rafts requires numerical methods, due to complex soil-structure interaction. In this dissertation four different modelling approaches for analysis of piled raft foundation are compared; a full three dimensional finite element method model (FEM model) and also three plane strain FEM models (i.e. two dimensional models). All models are carried out by using programs developed by Plaxis, i.e. Plaxis 3DFoundation and Plaxis 2D, respectively. The plane strain models are similar but differ in the way of modelling the interaction between the piles and the soil. The first plane strain model is introduced in Chapter 3.4.2. Since this model produce questionable results, due to too weak modelling of the pile-soil interaction, two alternative models are introduced in Chapter 8.4 and 8.5 (called AM1 and AM2). Piled raft foundations are three dimensional problems, in a two dimensional analysis one has to introduce simplifications and thereby inaccuracies. However, it could still be convenient to use this method since it is faster and the software is less expensive. The inaccuracies in a 2D model compared to a 3D model will vary depending on the characteristics of the problem. The object of the work is to study the inaccuracies and how these changes as the characteristics of the problem change.
