Structural Cross Sections: Analysis and Design provides valuable
information on this key subject covering almost all aspects
including theoretical formulation, practical analysis and design
computations, various considerations and issues related to
cross-sectional behavior, and computer applications for
determination of cross-sectional response. The presented approach
can handle all complex shapes, material behaviors and
configurations. The book starts with a clear and rigorous overview
of role of cross-sections and their behavior in overall structural
design process. Basic aspects of structural mechanics are reviewed
and procedures to determine basic cross-sectional properties,
stress and strain distributions, stress resultants and other
response parameters, are provided. A brief discussion about the
role of material behavior in cross-sectional response is also
included. The unified and integrated approach to determine
axial-flexural capacity of cross-sections is utilized in
development of P-M and M-M interaction diagrams of cross-sections
of various shapes. The behavior and design of cross-sections
subjected to shear and torsion is also included with emphasis on
reinforced concrete sections. Several detailed flow charts are
included to demonstrate the procedures used in ACI, BS and Euro
codes for design of cross-section subjected to shear and torsion,
followed by solved examples. The book also presents the discussion
about various factors that can lead to ductile response of
cross-sections, especially those made of reinforced concrete. The
definition and development of action-deformation curves especially
moment-curvature (-) curve is discussed extensively. Various
factors such as confinement, rebar distribution and axial load
effect on the ductility are shown through examples. The use of
moment-curvature curve to compute various section response
parameters is also explained though equations and examples. Several
typical techniques and materials for retrofitting of cross-sections
of reinforced concrete beams, columns and slabs etc. are reviewed.
A brief discussion of various informative references related to the
evaluation and retrofitting of structures is included for practical
applications. Towards the end, the book provides an overview of
various software applications available for cross-section design
and analysis. A framework for the development of a general-purpose
cross-section analysis software, is presented and various features
of few commercially available software packages are compared using
some example cross-sections.
