Connections in Steel Structures: Behaviour, strength and design

Proceedings of a State-of-the-Art Workshop on Connections and the Behaviour, Strength and Design of Steel Structures, Laboratorie de Mechanique et Technology, Ecole Normale Superieure, Cachan, France, 25-27 May 1987.

Concrete in the Marine Environment

This book reviews the marine environment, the composition and properties of concrete, history of concrete performance in seawater, causes of deterioration of concrete in the marine environment, selection of materials proportions for durable concrete, concrete practice and repair of marine structures.

Concrete in Hot Environments

Elevated temperatures are known to affect the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. This book describes in detail these effects and explains the mechanisms involved with particular reference to their practical aspects.

Concrete Shear in Earthquake

This volume consists of papers presented at the International Workshop on Concrete Shear in Earthquake, held at the University of Houston, Texas, USA, 13-16 January 1991.

Concrete Slabs: Analysis and design

Concrete Slabs: Analysis and design

Concrete Bridge Engineering: Performance and advances

Concrete Bridge Engineering: Performance and advances

Concrete Bridge Designer's Manual

This book gives bridge engineers clear guidance on design and includes 88 data sheets of design information, charts and check lists.

Composite Structures for Civil and Architectural Engineering

A thorough and understandable guide to the properties and design of structural composites. It derives from the author's many years of experience of research, industrial development and teaching.

Composite Steel Structures: Advances, design and construction

Proceedings of the International Conference on Steel and Aluminium Structures, Cardiff, UK, 8-10 July 1987.

Cold-formed Steel Structures to the Aisi Specification

This volume reveals the behaviour and design of cold-formed steel structures, connections and systems. It describes the AISI ''Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members'' published in July 2000, which governs the design of all cold-formed steel frames in the USA.

Bridge Bearings and Expansion Joints

nhis book provides a guide to movement and restraint in bridges for bridge engineers and will enable them to draw up design calculations and specifications for effective installation, and satisfactory service and durability of bearings

Architectural Design in Steel

A design guide to the detailing of exposed steelwork in buildings. Written specifically for architects, this guide offers technical guidance, general principles as well as examples of best practice.

Asphalt Pavements: A Practical Guide to Design, Production and Maintenance for

Incorporating the latest technology, this book is the first to focus primarily on the design, production and maintenance of low-volume roads and parking areas.

Aluminum Structures: A Guide to Their Specifications and Design

Aluminum Structures, Second Edition demonstrates how strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum opens up a whole new world of design possibilities for engineering and architecture professionals. Keyed to the revised Specification for Aluminum Structures of the 2000 edition of the Aluminum Design Manual, it provides quick look-up tables for design calculations; examples of recently built aluminum structures?from buildings to bridges; and a comparison of aluminum to other structural materials, particularly steel.

Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams: Computational Methods

Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams presents computer models and applications related to thin-walled beams such as those used in mechanical and aerospace designs, where thin, lightweight structures with high strength are needed. This book will enable readers to compute the cross-sectional properties of individual beams with arbitrary cross-sectional shapes, to apply a general-purpose computer analysis of a complete structure to determine the forces and moments in the individual members, and to use a unified approach for calculating the normal and shear stresses, as well as deflections, for those members' cross sections.

Risk, Reliability, Uncertainty and Robustness of Water Resource Systems

35 leading multi-disciplinary scientists with international reputations provide state-of-the-art reviews of topical areas of research on uncertainty and reliability related aspects of water resources systems. The volume will be valuable for graduate students, scientists, consultants, administrators, and practising hydrologists and water managers.
