Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design
Author: Francis D. K. Ching, Barry S. Onouye, Douglas Zuberbuhler | Size: 7.2 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2009 | pages: 322 | ISBN: 9780470187852
Francis D.K.Ching brings his trademark presentation to the structural design studio with this major new work co-authored by Barry Onouye and Douglas Zuberbuhler.
Taking a new approach to strucural design, Ching and his co-authors show how structural systems of a building -- as an integrated assembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and scale -- are related to the essential aspects of architectural design: formal and spatial composition, program fit, coordination with other building systems such as enclosure and mechanical systems, code compliance, etc.
No other work by Francis D.K. Ching brings together so many aspects of architectural design as an integrated reference. Designers, builders, and students alike will gain a new understanding of structural principles and planning, without the need for mathematics.
Using Ching's trademark presentation, Structural Patterns is illustrated throughout with line drawings to present the essential presence of structural systems in buildings, but also helps the reader make informed decisions for architectural design

This manual is published in two volumes. Volume 1 includes design and analysis for columns, flexure, footings, seismic, shear, and two new chapters on deflection and strut-and-tie in accordance with ACI 318-11. Information is presented in three sections: Explanatory Material, Design Examples, and Design Aids. The Introduction of each chapter includes explanatory material that provides the engineer with concise background of the subject. The Design Examples illustrate the use of the Design Aids, which are tables and graphs intended to eliminate routine and repetitious calculations. Volume 2 (available separately) includes design and analysis for anchorage to concrete.

Progressive collapse resistance of existing building structures against sudden column loss may be increased
with adequate supply of steel braces. A performance-based design approach for retrofitting regular building
frames with steel braces is proposed in this study. The retrofit design approach is developed from the pseudostatic
response analysis of an idealized elastic–plastic, single degree-of-freedom system. Analytical relationship
between the increment of collapse resistance and structural characteristics is derived to determine the design
strength and stiffness of added braces. Accuracy of the proposed approach is verified with incremental dynamic
analysis. Also, its application to multi-story buildings is demonstrated with three frame models. Conservative
performance is obtained with the design approach, especially for a larger resistance increment. An iterative
modification technique is suggested to refine the retrofit design and only a few nonlinear static iterations are
required for convergence. Nonlinear dynamic analysis results indicate that the column-loss response of the
braced frames is approximated to the performance target and thus the proposed retrofit design approach is
feasible for practical applications.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether MRF steel structures that have been designed
based on seismic codes, are able to resist progressive collapse with damaged columns in different locations
under seismic loading.
For this purpose, 3-D and 2-D push-over analysis of structures is carried out. The progressive collapse
potential has been assessed in connection with 5 and 15-story buildings with 4 and 6 bays by applying the
alternate load path method recommended in UFC guidelines.
Member removal in this manner is intended to represent a situation where an extreme event, such as
vehicle impact or past earthquake shock or construction error, may cause a critical column, as a result of
local or global buckling, to lose a part or whole of its load bearing capacity.
In contrast with 3-D models, two-dimensional frames represent a higher sensitivity to base shear
reduction and element removal. In the case of middle column removal, the structure is more robust than
in a corner column removal situation. The influence of story number, redundancy and location of critical
eliminated elements has been discussed.

This British Standard implements the ISO system for technical product documentation and specification.
The ISO system is defined in a large number of interlinked and related international standards which are referenced from within BS 8888.
The purpose of this British Standard is to facilitate the use of the ISO system by providing:
• an index to the international standards which comprise the ISO system, referencing them according to their area of application;
• key elements of the ISO standards to facilitate their application;
• references to additional British and European Standards where they provide information or guidance over and above that provided by ISO standards;
and
• commentary and recommendations on the application of the standards where this is deemed useful.
The requirements refer to International and European Standards which have been implemented as British Standards either in the BS EN, BS EN ISO, BS ISO series or as International Standards re-numbered as British Standards.
Annex A (normative) contains a list of normative references, indispensible for the application of this British Standard.
Annex B (informative) contains a list of informative references.
Annex C (normative) contains a set of examples of geometrical tolerances and associated requirements.
Annex D (normative) contains requirements for enhanced security.
Annex E (informative) provides a summary report on the concepts that have underwritten the development of technical product specification (TPS) and its primary constituent, geometrical product specification (GPS), to date and discusses some of the drivers for future change.

- Proposes to fill a gap in literature with the application of modelling techniques in steels, both hot topics in contemporary materials studies, while at the same time documenting latest research in this area
- Discusses structural engineering modelling in regards to the fire resistance of structural steelwork
- Covers genetic algorithm research as applied to design optimisation
Steels and computer-based modelling are fast growing fields in materials science as well as structural engineering, demonstrated by the large amount of recent literature.
Steels: From Materials Science to Structural Engineering combines steels research and model development, including the application of modelling techniques in steels. The latest research includes structural engineering modelling, and novel, prototype alloy steels such as heat-resistant steel, nitride-strengthened ferritic/martensitic steel and low nickel maraging steel.
Researchers studying steels will find the topics vital to their work. Materials experts will be able to learn about steels used in structural engineering as well as modelling and apply this increasingly important technique in their steel materials research and development.

A close-to-ideal blend of suburb and city, speedy construction of towers of Babylon, the sparkling proportion of glass and steel buildings’ facade at night showcase the wisdom of humans. They also witness the footsteps, sweats and tears of architects and engineers. Unfortunately, these signatures of human civilizations are swathed in towering figures of construction accidents. Fretting about these on sites, different countries adopt different measures on sites. This book firstly sketches the construction accidents on sites, followed by a review on safety measures in some of the developing countries such as Bermuda, Egypt, Kuwait and China; as well as developed countries, for example, the United States, France and Singapore. It also highlights the enormous compensation costs with the courts’ experiences in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
