Author: David A. Fanella & others | Size: 13 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer US | Year: 2nd Ed. 2012 Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992 | pages: 532 | ISBN: 1461597315 , 978-1461597315
Updating its highly successful predecessor, this new edition incorporates all of the American Institute of Steel Construction's 1989 specifications. Specific AISC section numbers are cited throughout for easy referencing. Sections on highway bridge design and fatigue design, as well as many new practical examples, are among the new features in the Second Edition. Current code provisions are supplemented by new practical examples and numerous AISC design aids are presented. New equiations are also referenced wherever appplicable. With no other books currently addressing the latest edition of the AISC code this guide will find an eager audience among structural engineers, architects, and other professionals.

Fills a critical gap in the literature related to seismic assessment and design of bridges
Presents in a uniform and subjective way all important methods for inelastic analysis of bridges, some of which are adopted by modern codes like Eurocode 8
Includes detailed case-studies of bridge assessment, so far available in the specialised research-oriented literature only
Assists the engineer and/or researcher to select the method that best suits the individual bridge projects that he/she faces
The book focuses on the use of inelastic analysis methods for the seismic assessment and design of bridges, for which the work carried out so far, albeit interesting and useful, is nevertheless clearly less than that for buildings. Although some valuable literature on the subject is currently available, the most advanced inelastic analysis methods that emerged during the last decade are currently found only in the specialised research-oriented literature, such as technical journals and conference proceedings.
Hence the key objective of this book is two-fold, first to present all important methods belonging to the aforementioned category in a uniform and sufficient for their understanding and implementation length, and to provide also a critical perspective on them by including selected case-studies wherein more than one methods are applied to a specific bridge and by offering some critical comments on the limitations of the individual methods and on their relative efficiency.
The book should be a valuable tool for both researchers and practicing engineers dealing with seismic design and assessment of bridges, by both making the methods and the analytical tools available for their implementation, and by assisting them to select the method that best suits the individual bridge projects that each engineer and/or researcher faces.

Residual soils are found in many parts of the world and are used extensively as construction materials for roads, embankments and dams, and to support the foundations of buildings, bridges and load-bearing pavements. The characteristics and engineering properties of residual soils can differ significantly from those of the more familiar transported soils.
The fact that residual soils occur often in areas with tropical and sub-tropical climates and (extensively) in semi-arid climates, adds another dimension to their engineering performance, that of unsaturation.
Although there are many books that deal with the mechanics of soils, these are based mainly on the characteristics and behaviour of saturated transported soils. The first edition of this book was the first book to be written specifically about the mechanics of residual soils. The book was prepared by a panel of authors drawn from the Technical Committee on Tropical and Residual Soils of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. It was written as a practical professional guide for geotechnical engineers working with residual soils.
The second edition has retained the valuable information contained in the first edition. The present editors and authors have extensively revised and augmented the content to bring it completely up to date, adding significantly to the sections on unsaturated soil mechanics and expanding the range and number of instructive case histories. Furthermore, sections on pedocretes, dispersive soils and karst have been added.

Probabilistic evaluation of performance point in structures and investigation of the uncertainties
Author: F. Azhdary* and N. Shabakhty Department of Civil Engineering, University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Zahedan, Iran. | Size: 216 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Research Vol. 3. (6), pp. 197-208, June 2011 | Year: 2011 | pages: 12
The main goal of the performance based design of structures is to rationally predict the structures’
performance during earthquakes which may occur during the lifetime of the structure. In this sort of
design, a specific displacement is defined as target displacement and the structure is subjected to a
force in order to reach this target displacement. This design process includes uncertainties in loading,
materials and analysis methods of the performance point. Therefore, statistical and probabilistic
analysis should be considered. In this paper, uncertainty sources for determining the performance
point are defined and then the procedures suggested in the codes are introduced. In the next step, an
appropriate probability distribution function is defined for uncertainty parameters and finally the
performance point of the structure is determined regarding these parameters in accordance with the
codes. In addition, the sensitivity of the performance point with respect to the mentioned parameters is
investigated. Results indicate that sensitivity of the performance point to geometric characteristics is of
great importance and other parameters such as dead and live load stand in the second level in terms of
sensitivity. An appropriate lateral loading pattern with the least uncertainty is also proposed for
buildings.

CAPACITY SPECTRUM METHOD BASED ON INELASTIC DEMAND SPECTRA
Author: PETER FAJFAR* Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia | Size: 156 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING AND STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS Earthquake Engng. Struct. Dyn. 28, 979}993 (1999) | Year: 1999 | pages: 15
By means of a graphical procedure, the capacity spectrum method compares the capacity of a structure with
the demands of earthquake ground motion on it. In the present version of the method, highly damped elastic
spectra have been used to determine seismic demand. A more straightforward approach for the determination
of seismic demand is based on the use of the inelastic strength and displacement spectra which can be
obtained directly by time-history analyses of inelastic SDOF systems, or indirectly from elastic spectra.
The advantages of the two approaches (i.e. the visual representation of the capacity spectrum method and
the superior physical basis of inelastic demand spectra) can be combined. In this paper, the idea of using
inelastic demand spectra within the capacity spectrum method has been elaborated and is presented in an
easy to use format. The approach represents the so-called N2 method formulated in the format of the
capacity spectrum method. By reversing the procedure, a direct displacement-based design can be performed.
The application of the modi"ed capacity spectrum method is illustrated by means of two examples.

I would like to know what are the minimal legal requirements for getting a PhD degree, to become an associate professor and professor in the field of structural engineering? By requirements I mean are there any minimal number of published articles, how many of them must be in refereed journals, how many in journals with impact factor, how many books must have been published, in how many scientific projects somenone has to be participated, etc. It will be interesting for me to know what are these requirements in different countries.
