Structural Analysis
CRC Press 2007; US$ 149.95Introducing the capacity axis which is a geometric property, this book gives analytical procedures for predicting the capacities of circular and rectangular sections in concrete and steel materials. It demonstrates why this method is ineffective and shows how to prove this condition using the straightforward approach of the analytical method. more...
Analyzing Uncertainty in Civil Engineering
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 139.99This volume comprehensively addresses the issue of uncertainty in civil engineering, from design to construction. Current engineering practice often leaves uncertainty issues aside, despite the fact that new scientific tools have been developed in the past decades that allow a rational description of uncertainties of all kinds, from model uncertainty... more...
Thin-Walled Composite Beams
Springer 2006; US$ 189.99Presents the foundation of the theory of composite anisotropic thin-walled beams and its applications in various problems involving the aeronautical/aerospace, helicopter, naval and mechanical structures. This book analyzes non-classical effects such as transverse shear, warping constraint, anisotropy of constituent materials, and more. more...
Advances in Earthquake Engineering for Urban Risk Reduction
Springer 2006; US$ 249.99Charts different directions of research and application in the assessment and rehabilitation of buildings in seismic regions. This book discusses the probabilistic prediction and quantification of structural damage, and presents approaches related with the in-situ and occupant friendly upgrading of buildings. more...

Pressure Vessel Design Manual
Elsevier Science 2004; US$ 200.00Picking up where the success of the previous editions left off, this book is an accumulation of design procedures, methods, techniques, formulations, and data for use in the design of pressure vessels, their respective parts and equipment. It's written specifically for designers and engineers involved in designing and specifying or manufacturing of... more...
Reliability-based Structural Design
Springer 2006; US$ 129.99Provides readers with an understanding of the fundamentals and applications of structural reliability, stochastic finite element method, reliability analysis via stochastic expansion, and optimization under uncertainty. This book discusses the probability theory, statistic methods, and reliability analysis methods. more...
Thermo-Dynamics of Plates and Shells
Springer 2007; US$ 219.99Provides information on nonlinear dynamics of thin plates and shells with thermosensitive excitation. This book tells how certain proposed mathematical models and the methods of their solutions allow to achieve more accurate approximation to the real processes exhibited by dynamics of shell (plate) type structures with thermosensitive excitation. more...
Handbuch der Oberflächenbearbeitung Beton: Bearbeitung - Eigenschaften - Prüfung (Bauhandbuch) (German Edition)
Springer 2006; US$ 99.99Die Bearbeitung und Prüfung von Betonoberflächen ist in zweierlei Hinsicht von Bedeutung: Zum einen werden in der Architektur Verfahren zur Oberflächenbearbeitung gezielt zur Gestaltung von Betonoberflächen eingesetzt; zum anderen müssen im Rahmen von Instandsetzungsmaßnahmen Betontraggründe wiederhergestellt und für die Beschichtung saniert werden.... more...
