Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In design practice today it is usual to carry out the detailed design of members of conventional reinforced concrete, structural steelwork or prestressed concrete using computer software. Although much time is saved, this may have the unfortunate consequence that the much of the "feel" for the design is lost. This is particularly true in prestressed concrete, especially when indeterminate members are involved. Indeed the topic may be less well understood as many undergraduate courses neglect the teaching of the subject almost entirely. Thus the design of prestressed concrete members, in buildings particularly, is often left to specialist contractors. The focus of this book is to provide a conceptual understanding of the topic. The approach taken is design-based rather than a more rigorously analytical one. Hand-based methods are emphasized where relevant. Numerous worked examples are presented as well as extended examples on a pre-tensioned double tee floor and a post tensioned flat plate floor to illustrate the points made. The codes used are the European Code EC2 and the Concrete Society Technical Report TR43, while, for comparison, reference is sometimes made to other codes, e.g., the American Code ACI-318. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. High-rise buildings continue to be built in increasing numbers throughout the world. However, they quickly become impractically expensive if structural needs are not considered early. Similarly attempting to build an irrational design can waste a lot of money. It has been said that 50% of the cost of the structural frame costs are affected by preliminary design, whereas detailed design (e.g. refinement of reinforcement in a reinforced concrete structure) affects a small percentage only. This book discusses what should be considered at the preliminary design stage of a high-rise. The information can also be used in the checking of designs produced by computer. The focus is on European design practice. The discussion includes the following: the origin of lateral loads; vortex shedding, lateral load resisting systems; effect of wind load on tall buildings; construction tolerances; shear wall layouts; basic acceleration limits; the importance of the P-delta phenomenon. Gravity systems for high-rises are no different to those of low-rise buildings so little time is spent discussing these. Although tall buildings are commonly constructed using steel or composite construction, this book focuses on concrete buildings as they are especially challenging to design. A case study is presented to illustrate the importance of preliminary design of high-rises. The aim is to produce a brief book appropriate for final year students and practioners. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Terrorism has become a serious threat in the world. This threat cannot be ignored. The main terrorist weapon is a bomb made from high explosives, with civilian buildings being a common target. Terrorists usually want to create chaos and maximize casualties. A growing emphasis is therefore being placed on anti-terrorism protection of civilian buildings. It is recognized that iconic structures as well as structures where mass congregation is likely, may be 'soft targets' for attack. Thus blast provisions are now an integral part of the design of major civilian facilities, e.g. hospitals, large hotels, shopping centres, stadia etc. In addition, buildings housing critical infrastructure, e.g., electrical sub-stations, are other likely targets. This book is about the effects of blast on civilian, rather than military, structures. The latest forms of structural and glazing protection are discussed. In practical design, extensive use of software is usually made. However, this book covers design principles. Hand-calculations are emphasized so that a "feel" for the likely behaviour of the structure under blast loading is obtained. Although the book is directly concerned with only RC buildings, the principles can easily be extended to structural steel buildings. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There are many books about Structural Analysis. This book is about Structural Design. Examples of the design of successful structures actually teach us little about design. However, we can learn about design by studying cases of the failure of Civil Engineering Structures. The author has extensive academic and practical experience and has given seminars to practicing engineers on this subject many times over the last decade. He shares his experience in this book. The book consists of 50 case studies of failure as well as 21 worked examples used to illustrate the points made. Changes to our practice of design are suggested. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
