Focusing on the fundamentals of structural dynamics required for earthquake blast resistant design, Structural Dynamics in Earthquake and Blast Resistant Design initiates a new approach of blending a little theory with a little practical design in order to bridge this unfriendly gap, thus making the book more structural engineer-friendly. This is attempted by introducing the equations of motion followed by free and forced vibrations of SDF and MDF systems, D’Alembert’s principle, Duhammel’s integral, relevant impulse, pulse and sinusoidal inputs, and, most importantly, support motion and triangular pulse input required in earthquake and blast resistant designs, respectively. Responses of multistorey buildings subjected to earthquake ground motion by a well-known mode superposition technique are explained. Examples of real-size structures as they are being designed and constructed using the popular ETABS and STAAD are shown. Problems encountered in such designs while following the relevant codes of practice like IS 1893 2016 due to architectural constraints are highlighted. A very difficult constraint is in avoiding torsional modes in fundamental and first three modes, the inability to get enough mass participation, and several others. In blast resistant design the constraint is to model the blast effects on basement storeys (below ground level). The problem is in obtaining the attenuation due to the soil. Examples of inelastic hysteretic systems where top soft storey plays an important role in expending the input energy, provided it is not below a stiffer storey (as also required by IS 1893 2016), and inelastic torsional response of structures asymmetric in plan are illustrated in great detail. In both cases the concept of ductility is explained in detail. Results of response spectrum analyses of tall buildings asymmetric in plan constructed in Bengaluru using ETABS are mentioned. Application of capacity spectrum is explained and illustrated using ETABS for a tall building. Research output of retrofitting techniques is mentioned. Response spectrum analysis using PYTHON is illustrated with the hope that it could be a less expensive approach as it is an open source code. A new approach of creating a fictitious (imaginary) boundary to obtain blast loads on below-ground structures devised by the author is presented with an example.
Aimed at senior undergraduates and graduates in civil engineering, earthquake engineering and structural engineering, this book:
Explains in a simple manner the fundamentals of structural dynamics pertaining to earthquake and blast resistant design
Illustrates seismic resistant designs such as ductile design philosophy and limit state design with the use of capacity spectrum
Discusses frequency domain analysis and Laplace transform approach in detail
Explains solutions of building frames using software like ETABS and STAAD
Covers numerical simulation using a well-known open source tool PYTHON

Problems in nonlinear structural dynamics and critical excitation with elastic-plastic structures are typically addressed using time-history response analysis, which requires multiple repetitions and advanced computing. This alternative approach transforms ground motion into impulses and takes an energy balance approach.
This book is accessible to undergraduates, being based on the energy balance law and the concepts of kinetic and strain energies, and it can be used by practitioners for building and structural design. This presentation starts with simple models that explain the essential features and extends in a step-by-step manner to more complicated models and phenomena.

This manual updates and summarizes the state-of-the-art for connections in the precast and prestressed concrete industry for both structural and architectural products. Not since the First Edition was published in 1972 has such a complete and comprehensive manual on typical precast and prestressed connections been made available. The manual discusses general considerations for connection design, design concepts, connection materials, design procedures with examples, and presents a full spectrum of typical connection details. It provides recommendations and examples for the proper design of the most often used and most up to date precast and prestressed concrete connections.

This book provides a systematic and thorough overview of the classical bending members based on the theory for thin beams (shear-rigid) according to Euler-Bernoulli, and the theories for thick beams (shear-flexible) according to Timoshenko and Levinson. The understanding of basic, i.e., one-dimensional structural members, is essential in applied mechanics. A systematic and thorough introduction to the theoretical concepts for one-dimensional members keeps the requirements on engineering mathematics quite low, and allows for a simpler transfer to higher-order structural members. The new approach in this textbook is that it treats single-plane bending in the x-y plane as well in the x-z plane equivalently and applies them to the case of unsymmetrical bending. The fundamental understanding of these one-dimensional members allows a simpler understanding of thin and thick plate bending members.
Partial differential equations lay the foundation to mathematically describe the mechanical behavior of all classical structural members known in engineering mechanics. Based on the three basic equations of continuum mechanics, i.e., the kinematics relationship, the constitutive law, and the equilibrium equation, these partial differential equations that describe the physical problem can be derived. Nevertheless, the fundamental knowledge from the first years of engineering education, i.e., higher mathematics, physics, materials science, applied mechanics, design, and programming skills, might be required to master this topic.

Written for beginners and advanced users alike, Principles of Structural Analysis Static and Dynamic Loads is part of a three volume series featuring Bentley's STAAD.Pro software. The series is not a how-to manual, but an illustration of the governing principles of engineering the software abides by, and the application of those principles within STAAD.Pro.
Author Krishnan Sathia, a Bentley technical support analyst, utilizes his years of experience to fill the gap that exists between the engineering concepts taught in schools and universities, and the application of those concepts on real-world problems. By connecting theory to practice, the material in this series of books will remain relevant long after today's software has been updated.
Static and Dynamic Loads guides readers through the identification of primary load types in STAAD.Pro and their effects on a structure. This is followed by the principles involved in the generation of loads such as wind, snow, and seismic forces through the software environment and how those loads can be combined and re-used for various purposes. The last part of the book deals with determining the dynamic properties of structures and analyzing them for dynamic loads through response spectrum and time history loading.
Filled with in-depth knowledge of structural analysis, high-quality illustrations and models, and applications through real-world problems, Principles of Structural Analysis Static and Dynamic Loads is a must read for students, practicing professionals, and educators around the world.
