Description
A concise and accessible guide to the practical and economical design of composite buildings, Steel-Concrete Composite Buildings employs the latest methods as outlined in Eurocodes and includes up-to-date examples of the uses of composite construction in buildings in the UK, US, Asia and other parts of the world.
The book covers a wide range of structures, from simple beam and slab structures through to problems associated with composite construction in high rise structures, and specialist problems such as dynamics. Showing how composite structures may be designed simply from basic concepts without the need for a clause by clause checking of codes and standards, all chapters use real world examples of buildings from around the globe to illustrate design and construction methods. Test results are used extensively to demonstrate the behaviour of the structure being designed, helping to clarify the limitations of the codes.
The essential reference for those engaged in design of composite structures, Steel-Concrete Composite Buildings will provide readers not only with simpler methods for design and construction but also a deeper understanding of these methods and how they are verified against the latest design codes.
Civil and structural engineers worldwide will find this book a timely and highly useful practical guide to this important area of design and construction.
This book is a companion to Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges, also by David Collings.

We transferred CivilEA to new server, we are extremely sorry for shutting down website suddenly. This was unmanaged issue.
Because of new year holidays we forced to do transferring yesterday by our provider this is why we shut down site without any announcement.
Anyway we hope you accept our apologize for this issue.
You may see some errors in next few days. This is normal. We are working hard to finalize transferring.
Predicting the In-plane Capacity of Masonry Infilled Frames
Author: Charles J. Tucker | Size: 8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Tennessee Technological University | Year: 2007
Stiffness methods from eighteen sources were investigated. Strength methods from thirteen sources were also investigated. The stiffness equations were compared to the experimental data at the first crack load. The strength equations were compared to the experimental results at the first crack load and the reported ultimate load. The results of these comparisons were used as a starting point for the development of better equations for determining the stiffness and strength of masonry infilled frames.

Behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soil walls with poor quality backfills on yielding foundations
Author: Saidin Fadzilah | Size: 20 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: University of Washington | Year: 2007
This thesis is a study of the behavior of GRS walls with poor quality backfill on yielding foundations with the goal of contributing towards a rational design of these walls. The research consisted of numerical simulation of a GRS wall constructed using poor quality backfill on a compressible foundation. The results were compared to an equivalent full scale instrumented wall. Parametric analyses were performed to study the effect of varying some important parameters on the wall response. The impact of water was studied by modeling the effect of a wetting front advancing into the fill due to infiltration of water through a two-phase flow analysis. Findings from this research show that GRS walls using poor quality backfills on a yielding foundation can be designed using current methods used for granular backfills but adequate provision for drainage is critical. A reinforced base is essential to spread the load onto the yielding foundation. Permeable reinforcements are not effective in reducing the generation of excess pore pressure due to infiltration for backfills compacted dry of optimum.

This volume contains forty of the papers presented at the International Conference on 'Mathematics in Transport Planning and Control' which was held at Cardiff University from 1-3 April, 1998. This was the third such conference run under the auspices of the Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications, the first being held at the University of Surrey in 1979, and the second at Cardiff University in 1989. Over fifty papers were submitted for presentation at the conference. It will be clear from the contents that mathematical ideas and methodologies continue to play a prominent part in the description and solution of the many and varied problems that are being currently investigated in quite diverse areas of transport research. Applications will be found on transport planning, congestion, assignment, networks, signalling, road safety, and environmental issues.

PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS, Fourth Edition, continues the approach that has made previous editions successful. As a teacher and researcher at a premier engineering school, author Tony Hayter is in touch with engineers daily--and understands their vocabulary. The result of this familiarity with the professional community is a clear and readable writing style that readers understand and appreciate, as well as high-interest, relevant examples and data sets that hold readers' attention. A flexible approach to the use of computer tools includes tips for using various software packages as well as computer output (using MINITAB and other programs) that offers practice in interpreting output. Extensive use of examples and data sets illustrates the importance of statistical data collection and analysis for students in a variety of engineering areas as well as for students in physics, chemistry, computing, biology, management, and mathematics.
