Charles H. Thornton: A Life of Elegant Solutions describes the inspiring life journey of renowned structural engineer, educator, and mentor Charles H. Thornton. Over the last 30 years, Thornton has engineered some of the world's tallest and most innovative structures. His memoir weaves tales of his humble beginnings in the Bronx, being mentored by his father, raising his four children, and Outward Bound adventures, with stories about acquiring and starting companies and designing projects around the world. Thornton shares his motivation behind founding the ACE Mentor Program, a national...

This authoritative resource discusses structural analysis based on force, displacement, and iterative methods, and explains how to use mechanical dynamics to analyze structural loads and forces.

Dynamic Analysis of Skeletal Structures covers determinacy and indeterminacy, plastic analysis, stiffening of structures for increased capacities, ductility, virtual work principles, earthquake design of tall buildings, maintenance of large structural systems, and more. Detailed examples, illustrations, and worked equations are included...

Steel and composite steel-concrete structures are widely used in modern bridges, buildings, sport stadia, towers, and offshore structures. Analysis and Design of Steel and Composite Structures offers a comprehensive introduction to the analysis and design of both steel and composite structures. It describes the fundamental behavior of steel and composite members and structures, as well as the current design criteria and procedures given in Australian standards AS/NZS 1170, AS 4100, AS 2327.1, Eurocode 4, and AISC-LRFD specifications.

Featuring numerous step-by-step examples...

Concrete is the second most used building material in the world after water. The problem is that over time the material becomes weaker. As a response, researchers and designers are developing self-sensing concrete which not only increases longevity but also the strength of the material. Self-Sensing Concrete in Smart Structures provides researchers and designers with a guide to the composition, sensing mechanism, measurement, and sensing properties of self-healing concrete along with their structural applications

• Provides a systematic discussion of the structure of...
