This is the first book to present a thoroughly scientific and practical approach to designing highways for maximum safety. Based on original research plus scrupulously collected data amassed over more two decades in different continents by the main author, this important book originates vital criteria for safe design and shows you how best to achieve roads with the lowest possible accident risk and severity rates. In addition, this valuable and necessary resource gives you serious help coordinating safety concerns with important economic, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. Overall the book is an invaluable source of information for educators, students, scientists, highway agencies, and consultants in the field of highway design and traffic safety engineering.

Continuum mechanics underlies many geological and geophysical phenomena, from earthquakes and faults to the fluid dynamics of the Earth. This interdisciplinary book provides geoscientists, physicists and applied mathematicians with a class-tested, accessible overview of continuum mechanics. Starting from thermodynamic principles and geometrical insights, the book surveys solid, fluid and gas dynamics. In later review chapters, it explores new aspects of the field emerging from nonlinearity and dynamical complexity and provides a brief introduction to computational modeling. Simple, yet rigorous, derivations are used to review the essential mathematics. The author emphasizes the full three-dimensional geometries of real-world examples, enabling students to apply this in deconstructing solid earth and planet-related problems. Problem sets and worked examples are provided, making this a practical resource for graduate students in geophysics, planetary physics and geology and a beneficial tool for professional scientists seeking a better understanding of the mathematics and physics within Earth sciences.

This publication provides a series of design examples using the 2003 edition of the NEHRP Recommended Provisions (FEMA 450) for different types of construction materials and building configurations. These design examples demonstrate the design procedures used in the NEHRP Recommended Provisions, which serve as the basis for the nation’s building codes, and make an excellent training tool. Instructional materials (FEMA 451B) are also available for use with this publication.

P-delta design in seismic regions
MacRae, Gregory A.; Priestley, M. J. N.; Tao, Jian
SSRP-93/05, Dept. of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences, University of California, San Diego, Structural Systems Research Project, 1993-06, PDF (5.4 MB) (500/S778/93/05)
Rational and simple design recommendations concerning the design of structures in seismic regions are made based on the response of single-degree of freedom oscillators and an understanding of dynamic response. The recommendations relate to when the P-delta effect can be ignored, how to conduct design for P-delta when it cannot be ignored, and the effect of P-delta acting along the member length. As a background to these recommendations, a literature summary is provided and the inelastic behavior of oscillators is described.
