This reference describes and illustrates the principles and techniques of limit analysis as applied to soil mechanics in detail. It presents advances on bearing capacity problems of concrete blocks or rock and discusses the modern development of the theory of soil plasticity.

Volume 2 of this two-volume work discusses systematically the complete theory of space beam-columns. It presents principles and methods of analysis, which should be the basis for structural design, and shows how these theories are applied for the solution of practical design problems. Invaluable to structural engineers, designers, and researchers.

This indispensable reference presents a unified treatment of mathematical models of concrete structural analysis. Covers characteristics of concrete under biaxial and multi-axial stress states and presents empirical equations for modulus and fracture strength. Covers concrete elasticity and plasticity, generalized failure, and fracture criteria, with applications of limit analysis and finite element analysis.

A practical and accessible introduction to the implementation of partially restrained connections in engineering practice.
