Precast Concrete Structures

Precast Concrete Structures highlights the subject in specification, looking at the design process, manufacture and construction using precast concrete for buildings. Particular structural analysis of the material and its use is delivered. The theory is approved by practical case studies, worked examples and explanatory drawings throughout.

An Anthology of Structural Morphology

Rene Motro, "An Anthology of Structural Morphology" 

2010 | ISBN-10: 9812837205 | PDF | 212 pages | 5 MB

The structural morphology working group of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, founded in 1991, has assisted to introduce several international conferences, newsletters and specific sessions of international conventions committed to structural morphology. Each and every variable of structural morphology is highlighted by one or more sections of the book. The work presented in this book is the outcome of more than 15 years of study by experts, designers, mathematicians, and architects, who thought that conceptual artwork would favour from the association of different fields (geometry, biology, and mechanics) in a holistic endeavor. This book contains documents that have been chosen either for their vital contribution to structural morphology or for their genuine applicability in the field.

This useful book presents the engineer to convenient tactics and practicalities. It goes on to offer large number of valuable design tables, which allow linear interpolation, for a enormous  range of different strategy of folded plate roofs to help the professional with his designs. Concrete folded plate roofs utilized to mask gigantic open areas of space can create laborious design problems soluble only through elaborated mathematical analysis. Design reviews utilizing both USA (British Imperial) and SI units are included using charts.

Design of Concrete Structures

Design of Concrete Structures

Design of Concrete Structures by Arthur H Nilson, David Darwin, Charles W. Dolan, Arthur Nilson, Charles Dolan
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math; 13 edition (July 31, 2003) | 896 Pages | ISBN: 0072921994; 0070598541 | PDF | 37 MB

The 13th edition of the classic text, Design of Concrete Structures, is completely revised using the newly released 2002 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code. This new edition has the same dual objectives as the previous editions: first to establish a firm understanding of the behavior of structural concrete, then to develop proficiency in the methods used in current design practice.

Design of Concrete Structures covers the behavior and design aspects of concrete and provides thoroughly updated examples and homework problems throughout. The 13th edition also features a new chapter, Chapter 10, covering strut-and-tie models. The text also presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members for bending, shear, torsion, and axial force, and provides detail in the various types of structural systems applications.
