Book Synopsis Earthquake-Resistant Structures by : Mohiuddin Ali Khan
Download or read book Earthquake-Resistant Structures written by Mohiuddin Ali Khan and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake engineering is the ultimate challenge for structural engineers. Even if natural phenomena involve great uncertainties, structural engineers need to design buildings, bridges, and dams capable of resisting the destructive forces produced by them. These disasters have created a new awareness about the disaster preparedness and mitigation. Before a building, utility system, or transportation structure is built, engineers spend a great deal of time analyzing those structures to make sure they will perform reliably under seismic and other loads. The purpose of this book is to provide structural engineers with tools and information to improve current building and bridge design and construction practices and enhance their sustainability during and after seismic events. In this book, Khan explains the latest theory, design applications and Code Provisions. Earthquake-Resistant Structures features seismic design and retrofitting techniques for low and high raise buildings, single and multi-span bridges, dams and nuclear facilities. The author also compares and contrasts various seismic resistant techniques in USA, Russia, Japan, Turkey, India, China, New Zealand, and Pakistan. - Written by a world renowned author and educator - Seismic design and retrofitting techniques for all structures - Tools improve current building and bridge designs - Latest methods for building earthquake-resistant structures - Combines physical and geophysical science with structural engineering

This book was released on 2006 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A joint technical session was organized by Joint ACI-ASCE Committees 441, Reinforced Concrete Columns, and 445, Shear and Torsion, during the American Concrete Institute's Fall 2004 Convention in San Francisco, CA. The goal of the technical session was to showcase recent developments in this area, with the hope that continued discussion will lead to improved models that are suitable for performance-based engineering. This symposium publication is a collection of technical articles presented at that meeting and represents an effort from Joint ACI-ASCE Committees 441 and 445 to continue the technical discussion on this topic.

Book Synopsis Three-dimensional Modeling of Inelastic Buckling in Frame Structures by : Macarena Schachter
Download or read book Three-dimensional Modeling of Inelastic Buckling in Frame Structures written by Macarena Schachter and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inelastic buckling is the most important failure mode of a steel beam column element subjected to compression force. In order to correctly predict this phenomenon, large rotations, large displacements and the plasticity of the section along the element must be considered. Several formulations have been proposed to model problems with three dimensional large displacements and rigid body dynamics. They are usually based in the Lagrangian or the Corotational methods and are primarily oriented to solve mechanical and aerospace problems, although some applications to structural stability do exist. Independently, several formulations have been developed to model plasticity: fiber elements, plastic flow theory and lumped plasticity are popular choices. In this dissertation a novel formulation capable of solving problems with displacement and material nonlinearities in a unified way is developed. Thus, the State Space approach is selected because all the basic equations of structures: equilibrium, compatibility and plasticity are solved simultaneously and thus the global and local states are mutually and explicitly dependent. To incorporate geometric nonlinearities, the Corotational approach, where rigid body motion and deformations are described separately, is adopted. To incorporate material nonlinearities, the formulation developed by Simeonov (1999) and Sivaselvan (2003) is included. In general, the set of equilibrium, compatibility and plasticity equations constitute a system of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE). A procedure to solve such system exists and is implemented in the package IDA (Implicit Differential Algebraic solver) developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), which is used to solve the problem numerically. An experimental study on "zipper frames" was conducted to assess the accuracy of the proposed formulation. A "zipper frame" is a chevron braced frame where the beam to brace connections are linked through columns, called "zipper columns". The failure mode of a "zipper frame" is the successive inelastic buckling of its braces. Three shake table tests of a three stories "zipper frame" were performed at the UB-NEES laboratory. A model of the first story of the "zipper frame" was analyzed with the new formulation and its results compared to experimental data. It is found that the new formulation can reproduce the features of the test and it is very sensitive to all the model parameters. Results are presented
