An understanding of the latest techniques in repair and testing and inspection is thus crucial to the international construction industry. This book, with contributions from 34 countries, brings together the best in research, practical application, strategy and theory relating to concrete repair, testing and inspection, fire damage, composites and electro-chemical repair. Concrete repair continues to be a subject of major interest to engineers and technologists worldwide. The concrete repair budget for the UK alone currently runs at some UKP 220 per annum. Some estimates have indicated that, worldwide, in 2010 the expenditure for maintenance and repair work will represent about 85% of the total expenditure in the construction field. It has been forecast that, in the same year in the USA, 50 billion dollars will be spent just for the restoration of deteriorated bridges and viaducts. Mega Links Uploading Links Deposit Links

This book presents these recent advances in a simple way. The authors have been mainly concerned with producing a text for teaching which can be easily followed by the self-taught student. The last part will undoubtedly also be of use to research workers. The reader will be led from the basic principles of Chapter 1, and the simple finite element concepts and models given in Chapters 2 and 3, step by step to more complex applications. A chapter (4) on the governing equations of fluid flow has been included o provide a more complete progression, though this is not intended for those already well versed in fluid dynamics. Chapter 5 is concerned with the solution of potential type problems and Chapter 6 sets out viscous flow problems in porous media: both are topics well suited to finite element solutions and of general interest to the engineer, applied mathematician and physicist. Until recently, finite element techniques were almost exclusively used in structural engineering problems b...

This study guide is one of the few sources of comprehensive instruction about load and resistance factor design, which is gradually becoming the standard method of designing structural steel.

Advanced Finite Element Method in Structural Engineering systematically introduces the research work on the Finite Element Method (FEM), which was completed by Prof. Yu-qiu Long and his research group in the past 25 years. Seven original theoretical achievements - for instance, the Generalized Conforming Element method, to name one - and their applications in the fields of structural engineering and computational mechanics are discussed in detail. The book also shows the new strategies for avoiding five difficulties that exist in traditional FEM shear-locking problem of thick plate elements; sensitivity problem to mesh distortion; non-convergence problem of non-conforming elements; accuracy loss problem of stress solutions by displacement-based elements; stress singular point problem by utilizing foregoing.

This book focuses on fatigue life predictions and damage tolerance analysis of welded joints and is divided into three parts. The first part outlines the common practice used for safe life and damage tolerance analysis with reference to rules and regulations. The second part emphasises stochastic modeling and decision-making under uncertainty, while the final part is devoted to recent advances within fatigue research on welded joints. Industrial examples that are included are mainly dealing with offshore steel structures. Spreadsheets which accompany the book give the reader the possibility for hands-on experience of fatigue life predictions, crack growth analysis and inspection planning. As such, these different areas will be of use to engineers and researchers. Avoiding or controlling fatigue damage is a major issue in the design and inspection of welded structures subjected to dynamic loading. Life predictions are usually used for safe life analysis, i.e. for verifying that it i...

This book is a Dynamic Failure of Materials and Structures discusses the topic of dynamic loadings and their effect on material and structural failure. Since dynamic loading problems are very difficult as compared to their static counterpart, very little information is currently available about dynamic behavior of materials and structures . Topics covered include the response of both metallic as well as polymeric composite materials to blast loading and shock loadings, impact loadings and failure of novel materials under more controlled dynamic loads. These include response of soft materials that are important in practical use but have very limited information available on their dynamic response. Dynamic fragmentation, which has re-emerged in recent years has also been included. Both experimental as well as numerical aspects of material and structural response to dynamic loads are discussed.

The Emergence, Analysis and Evolution of Structures: Concepts and Strategies Across Disciplines is a common concern of all scientific and technical disciplines. The book naturally falls into three parts - a first part summarizing the trans disciplinary fundamentals, a second part discussing in detail case studies from various fields (production engineering, medicine, management, molecular biology, energy engineering, civil engineering, logistics, sociology, physics) and a shorter outlook on the trans disciplinary perspective. The present volume presents an interdisciplinary investigation of the different methods of analysis and modeling which, while differing considerably in detail, usually have evolutionary adaption or development schemes at their core.

The process of design has concentrated on the construction phase itself, with the primary objective being to optimize efficiency and minimize costs during development and construction. With the move towards more sustainable development comes the need for this short-term approach to be expanded to encompass the entire service life of the structure. Rapidshare links Deposit Links
