At the dawn of the 21st century, computational stochastic dynamics is an emerging research frontier. This book focuses on advanced computational methods and software tools which can highly assist in tackling complex problems in stochastic dynamic/seismic analysis and design of structures. The book is primarily intended for researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of computational mechanics and stochastic structural dynamics. Nevertheless, practice engineers as well could benefit from it as most code provisions tend to incorporate probabilistic concepts in the analysis and design of structures. The book addresses mathematical and numerical issues in stochastic structural dynamics and connects them to real-world applications. It consists of 16 chapters dealing with recent advances in a wide range of related topics (dynamic response variability and reliability of stochastic systems, risk assessment, stochastic simulation of earthquake ground motions, efficient solvers for the analysis of stochastic systems, dynamic stability, stochastic modelling of heterogeneous materials). Numerical examples demonstrating the significance of the proposed methods are presented in each chapter.

This fully revised fourth edition of Max Lay’s well-established reference work covers all aspects of the technology of roads and road transport, and urban and rural road technology. It forms a comprehensive but accessible reference for all professionals and students interested in roads, road transport and the wide range of disciplines involved with roads.
International in scope, it begins with the preliminary construction procedures; from road planning policies and design considerations to the selection of materials and the building of roads and bridges. It then explores road operating environments that include driver behaviour, traffic flow, lighting and maintenance, and assesses the cost, economics, transport implications and environmental impact of road use.
It draws on Max Lay’s unparalleled consulting and operational experience in the financing, planning, design, construction, operation and management of roads in various countries. It forms an indispensable resource for transport planning, engineering, operations and economics.

Dear friends.
Please give me recommendation for books(in forum) which I can use as start to learning Earthquake Engineering in General and Earthquake Design for Reinforce Concrete
Workshop on Nonlinear Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Buildings, Bled, Slovenia, Yugoslavia, 13-16 July 1992
Forty scientists working in 13 different countries detail in this work the most recent advances in seismic design and performance assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. It is a valuable contribution in the mitigation of natural disasters.
This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005.

The structure can be post-tensioned in one or two
directions. The amount of live load included in the
design load for post-tensioning affects the structure’s
initial and final deflection. When the live load hasn’t
been applied, the slab may have an initial upward
camber that assists the drainage. After the live load is
applied, however, the slab may still be cambered
upward, be flat, or sag. Thus, the behavior of posttensioned
slabs and their effect on balcony drainage
must be discussed with the structural engineer before
deciding whether drainage conditions are acceptable
or a repair is needed.

Autodesk Simulation is part of Digital Prototyping Autodesk ®. This product contains a set of tools for engineering calculations and analysis is intended for use in mechanical engineering and industrial production. Autodesk Simulation allows design engineers to make informed decisions at the earliest stages of design. Support for various media-aided design and simulation tools developed using the finite element provide producers the opportunity to explore design intent and accurately predict the behavior of the products during the operation. With Autodesk Simulation can test and optimize products before the start of their production. This increases efficiency, reduces the need for physical prototypes, allows to achieve cost savings and reduce the number of errors.
• Support for multi-CAD - Direct associative data exchange with most popular CAD systems.
• Modeling and application of the net - Use of tools and wizards to improve the efficiency and accuracy of finite element analysis.
• Static tension and linear dynamics - Analysis of static and dynamic strength of the products.
• Combined Strength and kinematic analysis - Simulation of multimass systems to support large-scale movement and deformation of strong contact with body parts.
• Analysis of the methods of computational fluid dynamics - The study of thermal characteristics of products, execution of a detailed analysis of fluid flow.
• Complex physical processes - Research multiple physical factors by comparing results of different types of analysis.
Autodesk Simulation software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, provides a range of mechanical simulation tools to help designers and engineers make decisions earlier in the engineering design process. Support for multi-CAD environments and extensive finite element modeling tools help manufacturers study initial design intent and accurately predict product performance. Companies worldwide use Autodesk ® Simulation Mechanical and Autodesk ® Simulation Multiphysics software to validate and optimize designs before manufacturing-increasing efficiency, minimizing reliance on physical prototypes, reducing costs, and decreasing errors.
Features:
• CAD support-Direct, associative data exchange with most CAD software.
• Modeling and meshing-Create finite element models and meshes using tools and wizards designed to improve productivity and simulation accuracy.
• Video: Static stress and linear dynamics-Study structural response of designs.
• Video: Mechanical event simulation-Enhance design decisions by using multibody dynamics with support for large-scale motion, large deformation, and large strain with body-to-body contact.
• Video: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation-Study thermal characteristics of designs and perform accurate, detailed fluid flow analysis.
• Video: Multiphysics-Study multiple physical factors acting simultaneously by combining results from different analysis types.

How to design reinforced concrete flat slabs using Finite Element Analysis
Author: Brooker BEng, CEng, MICE, MIStructE | Size: 353 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: The Concrete Centre, Riverside House, 4 Meadows Business Park, Station Approach, Blackwater, Camberley, Surrey GU17 9AB | Year: May 2006 | pages: 16 | ISBN: 1-904818-37-4
The relative cost of computer hardware and software has reduced significantly over recent years and many engineers now have access to powerful software such as finite element (FE) analysis packages. However, there is no single source of clear advice on how to correctly analyse and design using this type of software. This guide seeks to introduce FE methods, explain how concrete can
be successfully modelled and how to interpret the results. It will also highlight the benefits, some of the common pitfalls and give guidance on best practice.
