The structural analysis of multi-storey buildings can be carried
out using discrete (computer-based) models or creating continuum
models that lead to much simpler albeit normally approximate
results. The book relies on the second approach and presents the
theoretical background and the governing differential equations
(for researchers) and simple closed-form solutions (for practicing
structural engineers). The continuum models also help to understand
how the stiffness and geometrical characteristics influence the
three-dimensional behaviour of complex bracing systems. The
back-of-the-envelop formulae for the maximum deflection and
rotation, load shares, fundamental frequency and critical load
facilitate quick global structural analysis for even large
buildings. It is shown how the global critical load ratio can be
used for monitoring the "health" of the structure acting as a
performance indicator and "safety factor". Evaluating the results
of over sixteen hundred calculations, the accuracy of the
procedures is comprehensively demonstrated by comparing the
discrete and continuum results. Nineteen worked examples illustrate
the use of the methods, whose downloadable MathCad and Excel
worksheets (www.crcpress.com/ 9780367350253) can also be used as
templates for similar practical situations.
Global Structural Analysis of Buildings is a practical reference on the design and assessment of building structures which will help the reader to check the safety and overall performance of buildings in minutes. It is an essential reference for the practising civil and structural engineer in engineering firms, consultancies and building research organisations. eBook available with sample pages: 0203184297
