The focus of this book is damage assessment and fatigue life evaluation of steel structures and components using the S-N approach. The main study areas included are, very high cycle fatigue, full range S-N curves, nondestructive methods for developing full range S-N curves, effects of corrosion in full range S-N curves and fatigue damage assessment procedures. It describes simplified approaches for evaluating fatigue damage using analytical methods developed from existing theories, empirical methods and experiments. Therefore, the book will be useful for researchers, engineers and designers...

Studies on blast effects on structures are extremely important due to the increasing risk of bomb blasts throughout the world. Reinforced concrete cantilevered slabs are among the most vulnerable structural elements in a blast loading environment. This book focuses on designs of reinforced concrete cantilevered slabs. The book includes methodologies for blast load estimations and designing of blast resistant structural elements. It provides design envelopes that are useful in determining blast resistant capacities of cantilevered slabs. This book is a result of a comprehensive study on blast...

This study employed factor analysis to identify factors influencing the sustainability of 91 wood species for various applications. Using 10 key variables : Density, compressive parallel to grain, Module of rupture, Module of elasticity, wood durability, seasoning ability, strength, average diameter of vessel, average height of ray and average width of ray. The factor analysis revealed four distinct factors each representing a combination of related attributes. These factors were used to develop an index for assessing timber sustainability. Wood quality indexes provide a standardized metric...
