Structural Damping
Rapid advances have been made during the past few decades in earthquake response modification technologies for structures, most notably in base isolation and energy dissipation systems. Many practical applications of various dampers can be found worldwide and, in the United States, damper design has been included in building codes. The current desi
Navy Super Tankers
Navy Super Takers were capable of refueling a task force for a month without being refueled themselves. A city afloat, they had every crew facility much like a carrier.
Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of Reinforced Concrete and Steel Bridges
Nonlinear static monotonic (pushover) analysis has become a common practice in performance-based bridge seismic design. The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and to provide the progressive collapse sequence of damaged bridges when subjected to major earthq
Performance of Wind Exposed Structures. Results of the PERBACCO project
PERBACCO (a free Italian acronym for Life-cycle Performance, Innovation and Design Criteria for Structures and Infrastructures Facing Æolian and Other Natural Hazards) is a research project partly funded by the Italian Ministry for University (MIUR) in the PRIN (Progetti di Ricerca di Interesse Nazionale) framework, for the years 2004-05.Within the project, a first attempt has been made to integrate different disciplines aiming at an overall optimization of the performance of a wide range of wind exposed structures and infrastructures, with consequent benefi cial impact on the society.The overall objectives were (a) to provide unifi ed concepts for "expected performance" and "risks induced ...
The 4th International Workshop on Structural Control
Presents the research and applications on sensing technologies to monitor and control the structure and health of buildings, bridges, installations, and other constructed facilities.
Structural Control for Civil and Infrastructure Engineering
Structural control represents a high technology proposal for civil engineering innovation. This book collects the invited papers presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Structural Control. The geographical coverage and the high quality of the invited speaker's contributions make the book a unique update in the areas of intelligent structures, structural control and smart materials for civil and infrastructure engineers. Contents: An Identification Algorithm for Feedback Active Control (N D Anh); Application of Control Techniques to Masonry and Monumental Constructions (A Baratta et al.); Monitoring of Infrastructures in the Marine Environment (A Del Grosso); Health Monitoring and Opti...
PRICE MANAGEMENT
Determinare il prezzo di prodotti e di servizi è da sempre, per il management, un fattore critico poichè influisce direttamente e in modo rilevante sul risultato economico; per di più, il prezzo è l'elemento che per primo cattura l'attenzione dell'acquirente. In un mercato concorrenziale molto teso come l'attuale, definire in modo corretto il prezzo tenendo in considerazione i molteplici fattori che lo compongono, inclusi gli aspetti valoriali per il cliente, è un lavoro di team che deve coordinare un processo di price management. E' dimostrato che affrontare il pricing in maniera strategica consente alle aziende di trarre un vantaggio competitivo poichè diviene un elemento del processo di business e non mero strumento di gestione del margine. Il pricing è insieme arte e tecnica: questo volume, in sette capitoli di agevole lettura e corredati da numerosi esempi e testimonianze, racchiude i processi, le strategie, i metodi e le dinamiche riconducibili ad una corretta gestione del pricing aziendale a supporto dei Marketing Manager, dei Direttori Commerciali, dei Responsabili di Azienda, oltre che testo di riferimento per Corsi Master e Universitari.
Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
This volume presents recent advances in research, practice, post earthquake investigation, and public policy in lifeline earthquake engineering as a discipline and as a component of infrastructure rehabilitation. Written by utility engineers, consultants, managers, and transportation agency personnel from various nations, papers review newer emerging topics of lifeline interaction and socio-economic effects, as well as hazard assessment methods, analysis procedures, and design approaches. Topics range from bridge analysis and rehabilitation to bridge earthquake damage assessment, electric power and communications to gas and liquid fuels. Case studies and papers detail the seismic assessment of offshore pipelines; above ground pipeline response to random ground motion; bridge prioritization for emergency responses; inspection and rehabilitation of tunnels across faults; and spectral characteristics of vertical ground motion in the Northridge and other earthquakes.
