Advanced Structural Damage Detection
Wiley 2013; US$ 148.50Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the interdisciplinary engineering field devoted to the monitoring and assessment of structural health and integrity. SHM technology integrates non-destructive evaluation techniques using remote sensing and smart materials to create smart self-monitoring structures characterized by increased reliability and long... more...
Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5
Wiley 2013; US$ 78.50Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5 provides practising engineers and specialist contractors with comprehensive, detailed information and in-depth guidance on the design of timber structures based on the common rules and rules for buildings in Eurocode 5 – Part 1-1. It will also be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students... more...
Earthquake-Resistant Structures
Elsevier Science 2013; US$ 185.00Earthquake engineering is the ultimate challenge for structural engineers. Even if natural phenomena involve great uncertainties, structural engineers need to design buildings, bridges, and dams capable of resisting the destructive forces produced by them. These disasters have created a new awareness about the disaster preparedness and mitigation.... more...
Design of Fastenings for Use in Concrete
Wiley 2013; US$ 43.50The European standard draft CEN/TS 1992-4 for the design of fastenings by means of headed studs, anchor channels, mechanical and chemical anchors is ready for use. This book elivers a detailed description of the determination of tension and shear load actions. Furthermore plastic load capacity design and a plastic design approach are given. Durability,... more...
Seismic Vulnerability of Structures
Wiley 2013; US$ 145.00It is clear that the majority of urban centers is composed of old buildings, designed according to the concepts and rules inadequate to seismic context. How to assess the vulnerability of existing buildings is an essential step to improve the management of seismic risk and its prevention policy. After some key reminders, this book describes seismic... more...
Retrofitting of Heritage Structures
WIT Press 2013; US$ 186.00The preservation of heritage architecture is a cultural objective rigorously pursued by communities and nations wishing to promote their history, civilisation and aesthetic achievements. Structures built in the remote past by traditional methods have suffered the consequences of extreme loading events, such as earthquakes, over long time periods. Retrofitting... more...
Reinforced Concrete Beams, Columns and Frames
Wiley 2013; US$ 145.00This book is focused on the theoretical and practical design of reinforced concrete beams, columns and frame structures. It is based on an analytical approach of designing normal reinforced concrete structural elements that are compatible with most international design rules, including for instance the European design rules – Eurocode 2 –... more...
Construction Reliability
Wiley 2013; US$ 132.00This book provides answers to the following problems: how to identify the most probable critical failures; how to describe and use data-concerning materials that are either heterogeneous, time-variant, or space-variant; how to quantify the reliability and lifetime of a system; how to use feedback information to actualize reliability results; and how... more...
Dynamics of Structures
Wiley 2013; US$ 205.00This book covers structural dynamics from a theoretical and algorithmic approach. It covers systems with both single and multiple degrees-of-freedom. Numerous case studies are given to provide the reader with a deeper insight into the practicalities of the area, and the solutions to these case studies are given in terms of real-time and frequency in... more...
