Behaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas is a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the field of seismic resistant steel structures. It comprises a collection of papers presented at the seventh International Specialty Conference STESSA 2012 (Santiago, Chile, 9-11 January 2012), and includes the state-of-the-art in both theoretical and experimental research on the behaviour of steel structures in seismic areas. The book is organized in the following sections:
- Performance-Based Design of Structures;
- Seismic, Wind and Exceptional Load;
- Material Behaviour;
- Member Behaviour;
- Connection Behaviour;
- Global Behaviour;
- Analytical and Experimental Methods;
- Mixed and Composite Structures;
- Passive and Active Control;
- Strengthening and Repairing;
- Codification;
- Design, Fabrication and Practice.
Behaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas aims to close the gap between the results of academic research, codification and application on the one hand, and common practice on the other. This book provides a complete framework of the most recent trends in the field of steel structures in seismic areas, with particular reference to the utilisation of multi-level performance based design concepts, the analysis of factors influencing the steel structure behaviour during strong ground motions, minimizing earthquake damage, seismic retrofit, the collapse behaviour of steel structures, recent developments in advanced large-scale experimental techniques, and the utilization of large-scale seismic testing facilities. The book is a valuable resource for engineers, academia and Ph.D. students in Civil Engineering, Earthquake Engineering, Structural Engineering, Steel Construction, Steel Development, and Building Disaster Prevention.

Continuum Mechanics of Anisotropic Materials(CMAM) presents an entirely new and unique development of material anisotropy in the context of an appropriate selection and organization of continuum mechanics topics. These features will distinguish this continuum mechanics book from other books on this subject. Textbooks on continuum mechanics are widely employed in engineering education, however, none of them deal specifically with anisotropy in materials. For the audience of Biomedical, Chemical and Civil Engineering students, these materials will be dealt with more frequently and greater accuracy in their analysis will be desired. Continuum Mechanics of Anisotropic Materials' author has been a leader in the field of developing new approaches for the understanding of anisotropic materials.

Solid Mechanics: A Variational Approach, Augmented Edition presents a lucid and thoroughly developed approach to solid mechanics for students engaged in the study of elastic structures not seen in other texts currently on the market. This work offers a clear and carefully prepared exposition of variational techniques as they are applied to solid mechanics. Unlike other books in this field, Dym and Shames treat all the necessary theory needed for the study of solid mechanics and include extensive applications. Of particular note is the variational approach used in developing consistent structural theories and in obtaining exact and approximate solutions for many problems. Based on both semester and year-long courses taught to undergraduate seniors and graduate students, this text is geared for programs in aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering, and in engineering science. The authors’ objective is two-fold: first, to introduce the student to the theory of structures (one- and two-dimensional) as developed from the three-dimensional theory of elasticity; and second, to introduce the student to the strength and utility of variational principles and methods, including briefly making the connection to finite element methods. A complete set of homework problems is included.

DETAILING IN STRUCTURAL CONCRETE: Research Report Number 1127·3F
Author: K. Bergmeister & J. E. Breen& J. O. Jirsa& M. E. Kreger | Size: 8.30 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CENTER FOR TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH | Year: May 1993 | pages: 318
IMPLEMENTATION STATEMENT
This report provides detailed background, specific recommendations and comprehensive examples to illustrate applications of strut-and-tie models for detailing structural concrete. It outlines the basis for detailing complex and unusual structural applications and provides a practical way of extending results of sophisticated analyses (such as finite element results) to determining practical construction details. A series of specific recommendations are provided for determining node dimensions for typical node applications as well as determining limiting node stresses considering confinement present. The report is aimed at improving the ability of design engineers to provide proper reinforcement and anchorage details in complex and/or unfamiliar design applications. Usage of these procedures should improve the behavior of concrete structures, allow more efficient use of reinforcement and result in lower maintenance and repair expenditures.
A series of design examples are presented to illustrate typical applications.
Study of these examples should greatly improve familiarity of design personnel with strut-and-tie models for detailing structural concrete.

This unique book presents a nontechnical view of the history of mechanics, from the Big Bang to present day. The impact of mechanics on the evolution of a variety of subjects is vividly illustrated, including astronomy, geology, astrophysics, anthropology, archeology, ancient history, Renaissance art, music, meteorology, modern structural engineering, mathematics, medicine, warfare, and sports. While enormous in scope, the subject matter is covered (with ample photographic support) at a level designed to capture the interest of both the learned and the curious. The book concludes with a creative and thoughtful examination of the current state of mechanics and possibilities for the future of mechanics.
This book also:
Presents an offbeat, nontechnical chronology of the history of mechanics, from the Big Bang to present day
Lays out a complicated scientific subject in a rapid-fire narrative that is both interesting and informative for the non-specialist reader
Covers subjects ranging from Egyptian civilization, music and musical instruments, art, and climate dynamics and demonstrates how their evolution both impacted and was impacted by humankind's understanding of mechanics
Thoughtfully examines the current state of mechanics and possibilities for future research and innovation
