Author: Ida Näslund, Helena Johnsson (auth.), Simon Aicher, H.-W. Reinhardt, Harald Garrecht (eds.) | Size: 48 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2014 | pages: 815 | ISBN: 9789400778108
This book contains the contributions from the RILEM International Symposium on Materials and Joints in Timber Structures that was held in Stuttgart, Germany from October 8 to 10, 2013. It covers recent developments in the materials and the joints used in modern timber structures. Regarding basic wooden materials, the contributions highlight the widened spectrum of products comprising cross-laminated timber, glulam and LVL from hardwoods and block glued elements. Timber concrete compounds, cement bonded wood composites and innovative light-weight constructions represent increasingly employed alternatives for floors, bridges and facades. With regard to jointing technologies, considerable advances in both mechanical connections and glued joints are presented. Self-tapping screws have created unprecedented options for reliable, strong as well as ductile joints and reinforcement technologies. Regarding adhesives, which constitute the basis of the jointing/laminating technology of modern timber products, extended options for tailor-made bonding solutions have to be stated. Apart from melamine-urea and phenolic-resorcinol adhesives, one-component-polyurethanes, emulsion isocyanate polymers and epoxies offer a wide range of possibilities. The contributions dealing with experimental and numerical investigations on static, cyclic and seismic behavior of structures clearly reveal the enhanced potential of modern timber construction for reliable and sustainable buildings and bridges of the new millennium.
The book is structured in nine thematic areas, being
I) Structures
II) Mechanical Connections
III) Glued Joints and Adhesives
IV) Timber and Concrete/Cement/Polymer Composites
V) Cyclic, Seismic Behavior
VI) Hardwood, Modified Wood and Bamboo
VII) Cross-Laminated Timber
VIII) Properties and Testing of Wood
IX) Glulam

This book introduces to the theory of structural dynamics, with focus on civil engineering structures that may be described by line-like beam or beam-column type of systems, or by a system of rectangular plates. Throughout this book the mathematical presentation contains a classical analytical description as well as a description in a discrete finite element format, covering the mathematical development from basic assumptions to the final equations ready for practical dynamic response predictions. Solutions are presented in time domain as well as in frequency domain. Structural Dynamics starts off at a basic level and step by step brings the reader up to a level where the necessary safety considerations to wind or horizontal ground motion induced dynamic design problems can be performed. The special theory of the tuned mass damper has been given a comprehensive treatment, as this is a theory not fully covered elsewhere. For the same reason a chapter on the problem of moving loads on beams has been included.

Traffic Engineering, 4e, is ideal for a one/two-semester undergraduate survey, and/or for graduate courses on Traffic Engineering, Highway Capacity Analysis, and Traffic Control and Operations.
This unique text focuses on the key engineering skills required to practice traffic engineering in a modern setting. It includes material on the latest standards and criteria of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2003 Edition and forthcoming 2010 Edition), the Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (2004 Edition), the Highway Capacity Manual (2000 Edition and forthcoming 2010 Edition), and other critical references. It also presents both fundamental theory and a broad range of applications to modern problems.

Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities: Proceedings of the International Conference on Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities (SeDIF-Conference)
Author: Mustafa Erdik, Eren Uckan, Sven Klinkel, Christoph Butenweg, Gao Lin, Britta Holtschoppen | Size: 25 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2014 | pages: 640 | ISBN: 9783658028091
Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities demands a deep knowledge on the seismic behaviour of the individual structural and non-structural components of the facility, possible interactions and last but not least the individual hazard potential of primary and secondary damages.
From 26.-27. September 2013 the International Conference on Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities firstly addresses this broad field of work and research in one specialized conference. It brings together academics, researchers and professional engineers in order to discuss the challenges of seismic design for new and existing industrial facilities and to compile innovative current research.
This volume contains 50 contributions to the SeDIF-Conference covering the following topics with respect to the specific conditions of plant design:
· International building codes and guidelines on the seismic design of industrial facilities
· Seismic design of non-structural components
· Seismic design of silos and liquid-filled tanks
· Soil-structure-interaction effects
· Seismic safety evaluation, uncertainties and reliability analysis
· Innovative seismic protection systems
· Retrofitting
The SeDIF-Conference is hosted by the Chair of Structural Statics and Dynamics of RWTH Aachen University, Germany, in cooperation with the Institute for Earthquake Engineering of the Dalian University of Technology, China.
The editors Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sven Klinkel, Dr.-Ing. Christoph Butenweg, and Dr.-Ing. Britta Holtschoppen are members of the Chair of Structural Statics and Dynamics at the RWTH Aachen University
