Starting from first principles, this book covers all of the foundational material needed to develop a clear understanding of the Mathematica language, with a practical emphasis on solving problems. Concrete examples throughout the text demonstrate how Mathematica language, can be used to solve problems in science, engineering, economics/finance, computational linguistics, geoscience, bioinformatics, and a range of other fields.
The book will appeal to students, researchers and programmers wishing to further their understanding of Mathematica language. Designed to suit users of any ability, it assumes no formal knowledge of programming so it is ideal for self-study. Over 290 exercises are provided to challenge the reader's understanding of the material covered and these provide ample opportunity to practice using the language.

This document provides detailed documentation of the design, testing, and preliminary results of the planar wall test program of the project "Behavior, Analysis, and Design of Complex Wall Systems", a joint effort between the University of Washington (PI Laura Lowes and co-PI Dawn Lehman) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (co-PI Dan Kuchma). Funded by NEES (George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) and the Charles Pankow Foundation, the project seeks to establish the seismic performance of modern mid-rise reinforced concrete structural walls and to develop the tools and technologies to advance performance based design of these systems.

Comprehensive coverage of the background and design requirements for plastic and seismic design of steel structures
Thoroughly revised throughout, Ductile Design of Steel Structures, Second Edition, reflects the latest plastic and seismic design provisions and standards from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the Canadian Standard Association (CSA). The book covers steel material, cross-section, component, and system response for applications in plastic and seismic design, and provides practical guidance on how to incorporate these principles into structural design.
Three new chapters address buckling-restrained braced frame design, steel plate shear wall design, and hysteretic energy dissipating systems and design strategies. Eight other chapters have been extensively revised and expanded, including a chapter presenting the basic seismic design philosophy to determine seismic loads. Self-study problems at the end of each chapter help reinforce the concepts presented. Written by experts in earthquake-resistant design who are active in the development of seismic guidelines, this is an invaluable resource for students and professionals involved in earthquake engineering or other areas related to the analysis and design of steel structures.
COVERAGE INCLUDES:
Structural steel properties
Plastic behavior at the cross-section level
Concepts, methods, and applications of plastic analysis
Building code seismic design philosophy
Design of moment-resisting frames
Design of concentrically braced frames
Design of eccentrically braced frames
Design of steel energy dissipating systems
Stability and rotation capacity of steel beams

Estimating, modelling, controlling and monitoring the flow of concrete is a vital part of the construction process, as the properties of concrete before it has set can have a significant impact on performance. This book provides a detailed overview of the rheological behavior of concrete, including measurement techniques, the impact of mix design, and casting.
Part one begins with two introductory chapters dealing with the rheology and rheometry of complex fluids, followed by chapters that examine specific measurement and testing techniques for concrete. The focus of part two is the impact of mix design on the rheological behavior of concrete, looking at additives including super-plasticizers and viscosity agents. Finally, chapters in part three cover topics related to casting, such as thixotropy and formwork pressure.

Slenderness ratio of main members between interconnectors of built-up compression members
Author: Murray C. Temple and Ghada M. Elmahdy | Size: 583 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering | Year: 1996 | pages: 11
Many steel design standards, including CANICSA-S16.1-M89 "Limit states design of steel structures,"
specify maximum slenderness ratios for the individual main members between the interconnectors of built-up
compression members. Previous research on which these requirements are based is reviewed. It is shown that the
imperfection sensitivity due to coupled instabilities is measured from bifurcation critical loads. However, steel standards
are based on a compressive resistance determined for a member with an initial out-of-straightness and a suitable residual
stress pattern. It is shown that the use of an equivalent slenderness ratio equation is sufficient to predict the compressive
resistance of these built-up members. Further restrictions on the slenderness ratio of built-up members between
inter connectors are not warranted. Thus, the elimination of these requirements from S16.1-94 is justified.

Built-up struts that buckle about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the connectors should be treated as a "built-up"
member as opposed to a "simple" member. This mode of buckling causes shear and moments in the connectors which
deform the connectors. These deformations increase the lateral deformation of the member and hence affect the load carrying
capacity. To account for this effect the easiest method is to use an equivalent slenderness ratio such as the
one included in the Canadian Standard. This note outlines the derivation of the equivalent slenderness ratio equation,
discusses when it should and should not be used, and includes a numerical example. A rewording of the applicable
clause in the Canadian Standard is suggested.
