The increasing necessity to solve complex problems in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering requires the development of new ideas, innovative methods and numerical tools for providing accurate numerical solutions in affordable computing times. This book presents the latest scientific developments in Computational Dynamics, Stochastic Dynam
Since vibration is a common problem in many civil engineering structures, it is becoming increasingly important for civil engineers to gain an insight into the principles involved and to know how to use modern, computer-based methods. Designed for engineering students and practitioners alike, this is a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics, placing special emphasis on practical issues and applications, illustrated by a wide range of worked examples. The book features a large number of computer programs as ready-to-use applications on a CD-ROM, complete with detailed input/output descriptions and auxiliary software. In the spirit of "learning by doing", readers are encouraged to apply these tools immediately to their specific problems, thus familiarising themselves with the broad field of structural dynamic response in the process.
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics, highlighting practical issues and illustrating applications with a large number of worked out examples. In the spirit of “learning by doing” it encourages readers to apply immediately these methods by means of the software provided, allowing them to become familiar with the broad field of structural dynamics in the process. The book is primarily focused on practical applications. Earthquake resistant design is presented in a holistic manner, discussing both the underlying geophysical concepts and the latest engineering design methods and illustrated by fully worked out examples based on the newest structural codes. The spectral characteristics of turbulent wind processes and the main analysis methods in the field of structural oscillations due to wind gusts and vortex shedding are also discussed and applications illustrated by realistic examples of slender chimney structures. The user‐friendly software employed is downloadable and can be readily used by readers to tackle their own problems.
Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities demands a deep knowledge on the seismic behaviour of the individual structural and non-structural components of the facility, possible interactions and last but not least the individual hazard potential of primary and secondary damages. From 26.-27. September 2013 the International Conference on Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities firstly addresses this broad field of work and research in one specialized conference. It brings together academics, researchers and professional engineers in order to discuss the challenges of seismic design for new and existing industrial facilities and to compile innovative current research. This volume contains 50 con...

Die Grundlagen der Tragwerkslehre werden klassisch immer noch auf die Stabstatik zurückgeführt. Mit diesem Lehrbuch wird das Verständnis für die komplexen Zusammenhänge geweckt, es soll damit dem Leser ein solides Grundwissen vermitteln, um in der Praxis mit Unterstützung der Datenverarbeitung Tragwerke berechnen und die Ergebnisse beurteilen zu können. Die Stabstatik wird in diesem Buch mit vielen Beispielen erläutert, so wie es in der Lehre ebenfalls angewandt wird. Für die Prüfungsvorbereitung, für die Auffrischung des erlernten Stoffes, ist das Buch jedem Studenten empfohlen.
This is the shortened, English-language version of the German volume published in 1989 and omits those contributions and passages that refer only to German laws, or which have little relevance outside Germany. It includes additional texts, especially on the relevant European norms and the canon of the Abwassertechnische Vereinigung [German Waste Water Technology Association] as well as the latest research and development reports. The result is a comprehensive overview of the technology currently available for wastewater management and systems plus the relevant norms, with special emphasis on maintenance, cleaning, inspection and reconstruction. A number of European systems are used to descri...
&Quot;This book contains an extensive description of the incremental launching method. It explains the fundamental principles of the design and describes the equipment and procedures for construction.". "Experience gained from four decades of construction is related and resulting developments and techniques are considered. The "Seven Day Cycle" for maximum economy is addressed.". "Special sections are dedicated to the coupling of prestressing cables, the bearings and their anchorages and the loads on the substructures during launching."--BOOK JACKET.
Das Lehrbuch beschäftigt sich mit der Ermittlung der Kraft- und Verformungszustände von allgemeinen statisch bestimmten Stabtragwerken sowie von wichtigen Tragwerkstypen. Es vereint die Grundlagen der technischen Mechanik mit der konzeptionellen, tragwerksspezifischen Problemlösung; für spätere numerische Berechnungsmethoden werden diskretisierte Tragstrukturen eingeführt. Dargestellt werden die fundamentalen Abstraktions- und Arbeitsmethoden; an typischen Beispielen werden die wesentlichen analytischen Berechnungsmethoden erläutert. Das Buch wendet sich nicht nur an Studenten des Bauwesens, sondern auch an die in der Praxis tätigen Ingenieure.
Ingenieurwissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge erschließen sich häufig erst bei der Bearbeitung konkreter Aufgaben. Genau an dieser Stelle setzt das Buch an: Es präsentiert die wesentlichen Gebiete der Statik von Stabtragwerken anhand von detailliert ausgearbeiteten Beispielen. Die Aufgaben können sowohl „von Hand“ als auch mithilfe von Rechenprogrammen gelöst werden. In weiteren Kapiteln behandeln die Autoren die Statik des Seils sowie klassische Verfahren der Berechnung von Flächentragwerken. Die Neuauflage enthält neue und aktualisierte Beispiele.
