Ehab Ellobody ... 682 pages - Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann; 1st edition (June, 2014) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0124172474 - ISBN-13: 978-0124172470 ...

In recent years, bridge engineers and researchers are increasingly turning to the finite element method for the design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges. However, the complexity of the method has made the transition slow. Based on twenty years of experience, Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges provides structural engineers and researchers with detailed modeling techniques for creating robust design models. The book’s seven chapters begin with an overview of the various forms of modern steel and steel–concrete composite bridges as well as current design codes. This is followed by self-contained chapters concerning: nonlinear material behavior of the bridge components, applied loads and stability of steel and steel–concrete composite bridges, and design of steel and steel–concrete composite bridge components. Constitutive models for construction materials including material non-linearity and geometric non-linearity. + The mechanical approach including problem setup, strain energy, external energy and potential energy), mathematics behind the method.  + Commonly available finite elements codes for the design of steel bridges. + Explains how the design information from Finite Element Analysis is incorporated into Building information models to obtain quantity information, cost analysis.

    Written by an author with more than 25 years of field and academic experience, Soil Improvement and Ground Modification Methods explains ground improvement technologies for converting marginal soil into soil that will support all types of structures. Soil improvement is the alteration of any property of a soil to improve its engineering performance. Some sort of soil improvement must happen on every construction site. This combined with rapid urbanization and the industrial growth presents a huge dilemma to providing a solid structure at a competitive price. The perfect guide for new or practicing engineers, this reference covers projects involving soil stabilization and soil admixtures, including utilization of industrial waste and by-products, commercially available soil admixtures, conventional soil improvement techniques, and state-of-the-art testing methods. Contents: Conventional soil improvement techniques and state-of-the-art testing methods + Methods for mitigating or removing the risk of liquefaction in the event of major vibrations + Structural elements for stabilization of new or existing construction industrial waste/by-products, commercially available soil + Innovative techniques for drainage, filtration, dewatering, stabilization of waste, and contaminant control and removal.

    Hsai-Yang Fang ... 923 pages - Publisher: Springer; 2nd edition (1990)... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0412988917 - ISBN-13: 978-0412988912 ...
      More than ten years have passed since the first edition was published. During that period there have been a substantial number of changes in geotechnical engineering, especially in the applications of foundation engineering. As the world population increases, more land is needed and many soil deposits previously deemed unsuitable for residential housing or other construction projects are now being used. Such areas include problematic soil regions, mining subsidence areas, and sanitary landfills. To overcome the problems associated with these natural or man-made soil deposits, new and improved methods of analysis, design, and implementation are needed in foundation construction. As society develops and living standards rise, tall buildings, transportation facilities, and industrial complexes are increasingly being built. Because of the heavy design loads and the complicated environments, the traditional design concepts, construction materials, methods, and equipment also need improvement. Further, recent energy and material shortages have caused additional burdens on the engineering profession and brought about the need to seek alternative or cost-saving methods for foundation design and construction.

      N. S. V. Kameswara Rao ... 544 pages - Publisher: Wiley; 1st edition (2011) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0470825340 - ISBN-13: 978-0470825341 ...

       In Foundation Design: Theory and Practice, Professor N. S. V. Kameswara Rao covers the key aspects of the subject, including principles of testing, interpretation, analysis, soil-structure interaction modeling, construction guidelines, and applications to rational design. Rao presents a wide array of numerical methods used in analyses so that readers can employ and adapt them on their own. Throughout the book the emphasis is on practical application, training readers in actual design procedures using the latest codes and standards in use throughout the world. * Presents updated design procedures in light of revised codes and standards, covering: * American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes * Eurocode 7 * Other British Standard-based codes including Indian codes * Provides background materials for easy understanding of the topics, such as: * Code provisions for reinforced concrete * Pile design and construction * Machine foundations and construction practices * Tests for obtaining the design parameters * Features subjects not covered in other foundation design texts: * Soil-structure interaction approaches using analytical, numerical, and finite element methods * Analysis and design of circular and annular foundations * Analysis and design of piles and groups subjected to general loads and movements * Contains worked out examples to illustrate the analysis and design * Provides several problems for practice at the end of each chapter * Lecture materials for instructors available on the book's companion website. Foundation Design is designed for graduate students in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering. The book is also ideal for advanced undergraduate students, contractors, builders, developers, heavy machine manufacturers, and power plant engineers. Students in mechanical engineering will find the chapter on machine foundations helpful for structural engineering applications.

      Considering how structures interact with soil, and building proper foundations, is vital to ensuring public safety and to the longevity of buildings. Understanding the strength and compressibility of subsurface soil is essential to the foundation engineer. The Foundation Engineering Handbook, Second Edition provides the fundamentals of foundation engineering needed by professional engineers and engineering students. It presents both classical and state-of-the-art design and analysis techniques for earthen structures and examines the principles and design methods of foundation engineering needed for design of building foundations, embankments, and earth retaining structures. It covers basic soil mechanics, and soil and groundwater modeling concepts, along with the latest research results. What’s New in the Second Edition: Adds alternative analytical techniques to nearly every chapter + Supplements existing material with new content + Includes additional applications in the state of the art such as unsaturated soil mechanics, analysis of transient flow through soils, deep foundation construction monitoring based on thermal integrity profiling, and updated ground remediation techniques + Covers reliability-based design and LRFD (load resistance factor design) concepts not addressed in most foundation engineering texts + Provides more than 500 illustrations and over 1,300 equations. The text serves as an ideal resource for practicing foundation and geotechnical engineers, as well as a supplemental textbook for both undergraduate and graduate levels.
