Seismic & Wind Design of Concrete Buildings

 

An essential resource for the design of concrete building for earthquake and wind forces.

This publication provides comprehensive coverage on the seismic and wind design provisions of the 2000 International Building Council© and discusses the response of concrete buildings to earthquake and wind forces.

Application of the seismic and wind provisions is illustrated by designing and detailing typical structural members in buildings which are located in areas of low, moderate and high seismic risk on different types of soil.

This volume is a practical reference for structural engineers who want to learn quickly how to apply the 2000 IBC seismic and wind provisions to the design and detailing of reinforced concrete buildings. Educators and university students will find this publication to be a valuable resource because of the many worked-out design examples. Plan reviewers will find this publication helpful in understanding the application of code requirements and will refer to it frequently when plan-checking concrete structures.

Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook - 2nd Edition

 

The first edition of this comprehensive work quickly filled the need for an in-depth handbook on concrete construction engineering and technology. Living up to the standard set by its bestselling predecessor, this second edition of the Concrete Construction EngineeringHandbook covers the entire range of issues pertaining to the construction and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.

New and Updated Topics Include

• The latest advances in engineered concrete materials and special concrete applications including architectural concrete
• Reinforced concrete construction and recommendations on the vast array of types of constructed facilities
• Specialized construction techniques, including the latest provisions of the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) on the design of structures in high seismicity zones
• Design recommendations for high performance and proportioning of concrete structural elements by the latest ACI 318-08Building Code
• New materials, design of precast seismic bracing systems, and aesthetics of long-span bridge construction

ETABS 2013 v13.1.1 - 32 Bit

The innovative and revolutionary new ETABS 2013 is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings. Incorporating 40 years of continuous research and development, this latest ETABS offers unmatched 3D object based modeling and visualization tools, blazingly fast linear and nonlinear analytical power, sophisticated and comprehensive design capabilities for a wide-range of materials, and insightful graphic displays, reports, and schematic drawings that allow users to quickly and easily decipher and understand analysis and design results.

From the start of design conception through the production of schematic drawings, ETABS 2013 integrates every aspect of the engineering design process. Creation of models has never been easier - intuitive drawing commands allow for the rapid generation of floor and elevation framing. CAD drawings can be converted directly into ETABS models or used as templates onto which ETABS objects may be overlaid. The state-of-the-art SAPFire 64-bit solver allows extremely large and complex models to be rapidly analyzed, and supports nonlinear modeling techniques such as construction sequencing and time effects (e.g., creep and shrinkage). Design of steel and concrete frames (with automated optimization), composite beams, composite columns, steel joists, and concrete and masonry shear walls is included, as is the capacity check for steel connections and base plates. Models may be realistically rendered, and all results can be shown directly on the structure. Comprehensive and customizable reports are available for all analysis and design output, and schematic construction drawings of framing plans, schedules, details, and cross-sections may be generated for concrete and steel structures.

ETABS 2013 provides an unequaled suite of tools for structural engineers designing buildings, whether they are working on one-story industrial structures or the tallest commercial high-rises. Immensely capable, yet easy-to-use, has been the hallmark of ETABS since its introduction decades ago, and this latest release continues that tradition by providing engineers with the technologically-advanced, yet intuitive, software they require to be their most productive.

Note: New VIP Members are also eligible for this program.

Bridge Engineering Automated Vehicle Application

The general philosophy governing the design of bridges is that, subject to a set of loading rules and constraints, the worst effects due to load application should be established and designed against. The process of load application can be complex as governing rules can impose interdependant parameters such as loaded length on a lane, lane factors and load intensity. To obtain the maximum design effects, Engineers have to try many loading situations on a trial and error basis. This leads to the generation of many live loadapplication instances and a large volume of output data that has to be combined with dead load effects as well. In view of the above, a computer program has been developed to minimise the load application process while complying with national code requirements. Users can avoid the trial and error approach and eliminate any possible errors arising from inaccuracies associated with it. The program is based on the use of influence surfaces, which are generated by STAAD.Pro as part of the loading process. An influence surface for a given effect on a bridge deck relates its value to movement of a unit load over the area of interest. The influence surface is a three dimensional form of an influence line for a single member. STAAD.Pro will automatically generate influence surfaces for effects such as bending moments for elements, deflection in all the degrees of freedom of nodes and support reactions. The engineer will then instruct the program to utilise the relevant influence surfaces and, with due regards to code requirements, optimise loadpositions to obtain the maximum desired effects. Once the influence surfaces have been generated, they are saved and can be used for any further investigation that may be required. This will remain valid as long as the user has not altered the structural model. Changes to the structural model can alter the pattern of the influence surfaces and the user must ensure that a further run takes place before any further processing.  The Engineers knowledge and judgement is critical in deciding which effects are required and at what position to obtain them. This is where users can save a lot of processing time and also, can ensure critical positions are not missed.

Guidelines for Bridge Design

The publication of this book could not have been possible but for the untiring efforts put in by a large member of individuals working in the Design Circle. The efforts taken by Shri. P. M. Kide, S. E., P. W. C., Chandrapur and Dr. D. T. Thube SEDC(BR), Navi Mumbai in recasting these guidelines are acknowledged. The contribution of Pradnya Walke, Executive Engineer (BR1), Designs Circle is specially acknowledged, who helped in making suitable corrections and additions in these guidelines in accordance with the latest references and editing the original text to confirm to the latest codal provisions. We also thank staff members of Designs Circle namely R. B. Hake (Draftsman), U. H. Patil, B. D. Kamble, J. S. Shah, N. S. Kore (Tracers), Smt. P. P. Pable, Smt. J. U. Shenoy (Steno typists) and S. B. Gadave (Sr. Clerk) for their contributions. The first edition of these guidelines was issued in 1997.Thereafter modifications to IRC codes have been issued. There also have been some changes in practices in designing/constructing bridges. In view of this it was desired to have modifications in the guidelines. Some new chapters are added, modifications are done in existingchapters. This second edition of guidelines is expected to meet the demands of the bridge designer while planning for a new bridge.
