* Hugely topical book, considering terrorist attacks on structures
and infrastructures. * Brings novel ideas to researchers and
engineers in dynamic analysis of structures under combined actions
of impact and blast loads. * Presents practical discussions in
finite element modeling and numerical analysis of different
structures under extreme loads using high-fidelity software which
can be very useful for students. * Contains comprehensive
state-of-the-art reviews on the performance of structures under
extreme loads which can be very helpful for junior researchers who
are beginners in impact and blast engineering. * Presents novel
damage indices for different structural members under extreme loads
that can be promoted to practical instructions to be experimentally
conducted in structural engineering laboratories and academic
environments.
Seismic Performance of Asymmetric Building Structures presents
detailed investigations on the effective assessment of structural
seismic response under excessive torsional vibrations,
demonstrating behavioural aspects from local response perspective
to global seismic demands. The work provides comprehensive
analytical, computational, experimental investigations, and
proposes improved design guidelines that structural engineers can
utilize to enhance the seismic design of asymmetric building
structures. Combining extensive experimental and numerical data
stock for seismic performance assessment with a particular focus on
asymmetric building structures, the book includes: * An overview of
asymmetric building structures from seismic damage perspective *
Local and global performance assessment of asymmetric structures
under extreme seismic actions * Post-earthquake damage evaluation
from varying frequency trends * Extended numerical applications for
experimental response validations * Evaluation of critical regions
of asymmetric structure with stress concentration * Statistical
distribution of seismic response under varying design parameters *
Design guidelines for asymmetric building structures This work's
comprehensive evaluations are carried out with modern sensing
techniques planned with meticulous attention to cover objectives
with a particular focus on asymmetry in reinforced concrete and
steel structures. It assesses various aspects of asymmetric
building structures that are rarely dealt with in the current
literature. It gathers fruitful information from various building
design codes and explains their limitations in addressing
damage-related challenges, which is not only useful for practicing
engineers but also for academics. The book will be invaluable for
experts, researchers, students and practitioners from relevant
areas, as well as for emergency preparedness managers.
