Handbook of Structural Engineering
CRC; 2 ed | 2005 | ISBN: 0849315697 | 1768 pages | PDF | 49,4 MB
Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering, encapsulating the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of the field. The authors address a myriad of topics, covering both traditional and innovative approaches to analysis, design, and rehabilitation. The second edition has been expanded and reorganized to be more informative and cohesive. It also follows the developments that have emerged in the field since the previous edition, such as advanced analysis for structural design, performance-based design of earthquake-resistant structures, lifecycle evaluation and condition assessment of existing structures, the use of high-performance materials for construction, and design for safety. Additionally, the book includes numerous tables, charts, and equations, as well as extensive references, reading lists, and websites for further study or more in-depth information. Emphasizing practical applications and easy implementation, this text reflects the increasingly global nature of engineering, compiling the efforts of an international panel of experts from industry and academia. This is a necessity for anyone studying or practicing in the field of structural engineering. New to this edition · Fundamental theories of structural dynamics · Advanced analysis · Wind and earthquake-resistant design · Design of prestressed concrete, masonry, timber, and glass structures · Properties, behavior, and use of high-performance steel, concrete, and fiber-reinforced polymers · Semirigid frame structures · Structural bracing · Structural design for fire safety

Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats
Publisher: ABC-Clio Inc | ISBN: 157607112 | edition 2001 |CHM | 388 pages | 5.65 mb
Grade 9 Up-Cities, tents, teepees, tunnels, tombs, rapid transit systems, bridges, gardens, cathedrals, skyscrapers and even a space station are just some of the “feats” included in this authoritative survey. From prehistory to the present, high-tech to low, more than 200 architectural and engineering achievements have been selected that reflect “humanity’s propensity to `just do it’— against the odds” and the “social imperatives that stimulated people to push the available technology to its limits”. The volume includes articles on structures that are frequent subjects of reports (“Empire State Building”, “Great Wall of China”) and lesser-known works, as well as selected design movements

Appartment buildings New Concepts
The projects in this book illustrate the latest tendencies in collective housing. Conventional vertical dwellings, buildigns for specific groups and residential complexes share a common spirit: rigour, imagination and respect for both the persons who will occupy them and the environment in which they will be located. The works of Frank Gehry, Claus en Kaan, Deadline (the one on the cover), Calatrava and Shigeru Ban – to name just a few – provide stimulating answers, ingenious solutions, unexpected points of view and proposals that will without doubt influence the conception of residential architecture in the century to come.
The book features detailed studies (multiple plans, photographs and explanatory text) of 38 apartment building projects from all over the world, though mainly Europe. Essential reading for anyone involved in such a project. Helin & Siitonen’s green-roofed Experimental House in Sweden is particularly interesting – green roofs are ace and should be encouraged with extreme prejudice.

Risk Analysis in Building Fire Safety Engineering
A. Michael Hasofer – Risk Analysis in Building Fire Safety Engineering
This book bridges the gap between risk assessment and fire safety engineering like few other resources.
As all required knowledge for Probability and Statistics for Fire Engineering is included in the preliminary chapters, the book is suitable for teaching Fire Engineering components in a wide range of engineering courses for senior graduates and for postgraduate students of Fire Engineering. It will also serve as a comprehensive reference for professionals.
This book describes the theory and the models involved in risk analysis, and includes case studies of multiple fire scenarios. Building fire safety and human behavioural responses to these scenarios show the benefits of risk-based fire safety design.
* Case studies and examples from across the world
* Applies probabilistic and stochastic models to fire initiation, fire growth, smoke spread and human behavior
* Co-written by a pioneering researcher in the field of building fire safety
