Practicing engineers designing civil engineering structures, and
advanced students of civil engineering, require foundational
knowledge and advanced analytical and empirical tools. Mechanics in
Civil Engineering Structures presents the material needed by
practicing engineers engaged in the design of civil engineering
structures, and students of civil engineering. The book covers the
fundamental principles of mechanics needed to understand the
responses of structures to different types of load and provides the
analytical and empirical tools for design. The title presents the
mechanics of relevant structural elements-including columns, beams,
frames, plates and shells-and the use of mechanical models for
assessing design code application. Eleven chapters cover topics
including stresses and strains; elastic beams and columns;
inelastic and composite beams and columns; temperature and other
kinematic loads; energy principles; stability and second-order
effects for beams and columns; basics of vibration; indeterminate
elastic-plastic structures; plates and shells. This book is an
invaluable guide for civil engineers needing foundational
background and advanced analytical and empirical tools for
structural design.
An increase in the use of composite materials in areas of
engineering has led to a greater demand for engineers versed in the
design of structures made from such materials. This book offers
students and engineers tools for designing practical composite
structures. Among the topics of interest to the designer are
stress-strain relationships for a wide range of anisotropic
materials; bending, buckling, and vibration of plates; bending,
torsion, buckling, and vibration of solid as well as thin walled
beams; shells; hygrothermal stresses and strains; finite element
formulation; and failure criteria. More than 300 illustrations, 50
fully worked problems, and material properties data sets are
included. Some knowledge of composites, differential equations, and
matrix algebra is helpful but not necessary, as the book is
self-contained. Graduate students, researchers, and practitioners
will value it for both theory and application.
