Structural OptimizationDynamic and Seismic Applications

Franklin Y. Cheng and Kevin Z. Truman both at University of Missouri, USA

Series: Structural Engineering: Mechanics and Design

Today’s biggest structural engineering challenge is to design better structures, and a key issue is the need to take an integrated approach which balances control of costs with the requirement for handling earthquakes and other dynamic forces. Structural optimization is based on rigorous mathematical formulation and requires computation algorithms for sizing structural elements and

synthesizing systems. Now that the right software and enough computing power are readily available, professionals can now develop a suite of alternative designs and a select suitable one.

A thoroughly-written and practical book on structural optimization is long overdue. This solid book comprehensively presents current optimization strategies, illustrated with sufficient examples of the design of elements and systems and presenting descriptions of the process and results. Emphasis is given to dynamic loading, in particular to seismic forces.

Researchers and practising engineers will find this book an excellent reference, and advanced undergraduates or graduate students can use it as a resource for structural optimization design.

Selected Contents: 1. Introduction to Structural Optimization 2. Fundamentals of Linear Programming 3. Linear Programming Optimization of Elastic Structural Systems 4. Introduction to Nonlinear Programming 5. Optimization of Rigid Frames 6. Gradient Based Search Techniques 7. Energy Distribution for Optimality Criterion 8. Generalized Optimality Criteria Approach 9. Generalized Optimality Criteria Applied to Statically and Dynamically Loaded Structural Systems 10. Generalized Optimality Criteria Techniques 11.

Structural and Stress AnalysisTheories, Tutorials and Examples

Jianqiao Ye, University of Leeds, UK

Summarizing major concepts and key points, this book tests students’ knowledge of the principal theories in structural and stress analysis. Its main feature is helping students to understand the subject by asking and answering conceptual questions. Each chapter begins with a summary of key issues and relevant formulas. A ‘key points’ review

identifies important concepts which are essential for students’ understanding of the chapter. Numerical examples are used to illustrate these concepts and demonstrate the application of the formulas. A short discussion of the problem is provided, before the solution is revealed, to ensure that students know not only how but also why a formula should be used.

Structural and Stress Analysis is particularly useful for students preparing for exams. Working through these conceptual questions, and reviewing the key points summarized in this book, provides a structured approach to assess whether or not the subject has been understood and to identify the area where further revision is needed. It is also a useful reference for those who are taking an advanced structural and stress analysis course.

Motion StructuresDeployable Structural Assemblies of Mechanisms

Zhong You, University of Oxford, UK and Yan Chen, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

Motion structures are simply assemblies of resistant bodies connected by movable joints. Unlike conventional structures, they allow large shape transformations to satisfy practical requirements and they can be used in:

•shelters,emergencystructuresandexhibitionstands

•aircraftmorphingwings

•satellitesolarpanelsandspaceantennas

•morphingcorematerialsforcomposites

•medicalimplantsforminimuminvasivesurgery.

Though traditionally the subject falls within structural engineering, motion structures are more closely related to other mechanisms, and they draw on the principles of kinematic and geometrical analysis in their design. Indeed their design and analysis can be viewed as an extension of the theory of mechanisms, such as rigid origami, and can make effective use of a wealth of mathematical principles.

This book outlines the relevant underlying theory and motion structural concepts, and uses a number of innovative but simple structures as examples.

FRP Reinforced Concrete StructuresTheory, Design and Practice

Antonio Nanni and Fabio Matta both at University of Miami, USA and Renato Parretti, University of Naples Federico II, Italy

Concrete reinforcement made of fiber reinforced polymers is becoming affordable and is now a better option than steel for an increasing number of applications. Its corrosion resistance, light weight and specific mechanical properties give it a number of advantages. Yet there is little information at the intermediate level on the principles and practice of its use, and little useful guidance on design or reinforcement detailing.

Focusing on the fundamentals of internal, non-prestressed FRP reinforcement, this book is not limited to one code of practice. It addresses the topical questions of test methods, durability and serviceability; and is well illustrated with twelve case studies on bridge decks (Lora Bridge, Italy), bridge railings (Drummond Road Bridge, Canada), retaining walls and foundations (Sanibel Island Seawall, Florida), and soft-eyes (Cenituurbaan Station, Netherlands). It should suit practitioners worldwide.

Time-Dependent Behaviour of Concrete StructuresRaymond Ian Gilbert, University of New South Wales, Australia and Gianluca Ranzi, University of Sydney, Australia

Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the structure. The serviceability provisions embodied in codes of

practice are relatively crude and, in some situations, unreliable and do not adequately model the in-service behaviour of structures. In particular, they fail to adequately account for the effects of creep and shrinkage of the concrete. Design for serviceability is complicated by the non-linear and inelastic behaviour of concrete at service loads.

Providing detailed information, this book helps engineers to rationally predict the time-varying deformation of concrete structures under typical in-service conditions. It gives analytical methods to help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the gradual change in tension stiffening with time, creep induced deformations and the load independent strains caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. The calculation procedures are illustrated with many worked examples.

A vital guide for practising engineers and advanced students of structural engineering on the design of concrete structures for serviceability and provides a penetrating insight into the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.

Selected Contents: 1. Time-Dependent Deformation 2. Material Properies 3. Design for Serviceability – Deflection and Crack Control 4. Uncracked Sections – Axial Loading 5. Uncracked Sections – Axial Force and Uniaxial Bending 6. Uncracked Sections – Axial Force and Biaxial Bending 7. Cracked Sections 8. Members and Structures 9.

Concrete-filled Tubular Members and ConnectionsXiao-Ling Zhao, Monash University, Australia, Lin-Hai Han, Tsinghua University, China and Hui Lu, Monash University, Australia

Using steel and concrete together utilizes the beneficial material properties of both elements. Concrete filled steel tubes represent a good example of a concrete – steel composite structure, and are particularly useful as columns in high rise buildings and bridge piers. They can be used in a range of fields, from civil and industrial construction through to the mining industry.

Several aspects of concrete filled tubes have received little coverage in existing design standards, design guides or relevant books, but are addressed here: construction methods or quality and their effect on performance, confinement, creep effects, pre-load effects, size effects, seismic behaviour and post-fire behaviour, worked examples under practical conditions, numerical simulations, mechanics models, concrete-filled double skin tubes, SCC(self-consolidating concrete)-filled tubes, HPHSC (high performance high strength concrete)-filled tubes, high strength steel and thin-walled tubes filled with concrete, and fiber reinforced polymer strengthening of concrete filled tubes.

This book not only summarizes the research performed to date on concrete-filled tubular members and connections but also compares the design rules in various standards (Eurocode 4, AISI-LRFD, ACI, AIJ and Chinese Standard), and provides design examples. An invaluable guide for professionals and a detailed source of information for graduate students and beyond.

Resistance of Concrete to Chloride IngressTesting and Modelling

Luping Tang, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, Lars-Olof Nilsson, Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden and P A Muhammed Basheer, Queen’s University Belfast, UK

Chloride ingress in reinforced concrete induces corrosion and consequent spalling and structural weakness, yet it occurs world-wide and imposes an enormous cost. It can be resisted by using test methods and relevant models for service life prediction.

Resistance of Concrete to Chloride Ingress sets out current understanding of chloride transport mechanisms, test methods and prediction models. It describes basic mechanisms and theories, and classifies the commonly used parameters and their units which expressing chloride and its transport properties in concrete. Laboratory test methods and in-field applicable test methods, including precision results from inter-laboratory comparison tests, are then outlined. Some of the fundamentals of models are explained, and the different types of models are then analyzed theoretically and critically. Analytical and probabilistic approaches are used to analyze the sensitivity of various models and the results from a benchmarking evaluation of different models are presented and discussed. Guidelines for the practical use of test methods and models are given, including tests for in-situ applications, and test methods validated by the precision results are detailed.

The book draws to a large extent on the Chlortest project, which involved seventeen partners from ten European countries, and serves as an authoritative guide.

Durability Design of Concrete Structures in Severe EnvironmentsOdd E. Gjørv, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway

By designing in corrosion prevention and through preventive maintenance, the overall service cost of a concrete structure can be substantially reduced. This book takes a probabilistic approach to the engineering design issues for controlling durability and service life of concrete structures in severe environments. Many durability problems are caused by poor quality control as well

as special problems during concrete construction. The issue of construction quality and variability need to be grasped before durability can be successfully controlled.

Internationally relevant with a practical focus, this is the essential guide for consulting and construction engineers involved in the design and execution of new concrete structures.

Earthquake Engineering for Structural DesignVictor Gioncu, Technical University, Timisoara, Romania and Federico Mazzolani, University of Naples Federico II, Italy

Developments in Earthquake Engineering have focussed on the capacity and response of structures. They often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing of design. It is not enough only to understand the anatomy of the structure, you must also appreciate the nature of the likely earthquake.

Seismic design, as detailed in this book, is the bringing

together of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design – analyzing various types of earthquake and how they affect structures differently. Understanding the distinction between these earthquake types and their different impacts on buildings can make the difference between whether a building stands or falls, or at least to how much it costs to repair.

Covering the basis and basics of the major international codes, this is the essential guide for professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the world.

Selected Contents: 1. Living with Earthquakes 2. Learning from Earthquakes 3. Engineering Seismology and Earthquake Engineering 4. Advances in Conception About Earthquakes 5. Tectonic Plates and Faults 6. Faults and Earthquakes 7. Earthquakes and Structures 8. New Design Philosophies 9. Progress and Challenges in Codifications

Seismic Design of Buildings to Eurocode 8Edited by Ahmed Y. Elghazouli, Imperial College, London

Practical information and training has become urgently needed for the new Eurocode 8 on the Design of Structures for Earthquake Resistance, especially in relation to the underlying principles of seismic behaviour and the design of building structures.

This book covers seismic design in a clear but brief manner and links the principles to the code, illustrated with design examples. Concrete and steel buildings, and their foundations, are given special emphasis but the book is widely applicable.

It stems from practical short courses on seismic design, run jointly by the Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics and Imperial College London. Written by senior academics with significant consulting experience and by leading practitioners, it has a strong industry emphasis. It suits a wide range of practising civil and structural engineers, academics preparing courses and needing worked examples, and advanced undergraduate and Masters students in Earthquake, Structural or Geotechnical Engineering.

Selected Contents: 1. Introduction: Seismic Design and Eurocode 8 2. Seismic Hazard and Earthquake Actions 3. Structural Analysis 4. Basic Seismic Design Principles for Buildings 5. Design of Concrete Structures 6. Design of Steel Structures 7. Design of Composite Steel/Concrete Structures 8. Shallow Foundations 9. Deep Foundations
