Motion StructuresDeployable Structural Assemblies of Mechanisms

Zhong You, University of Oxford, UK and Yan Chen, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

Motion structures are simply assemblies of resistant bodies connected by movable joints. Unlike conventional structures, they allow large shape transformations to satisfy practical requirements and they can be used in:

• shelters, emergency structures and exhibition stands

• aircraft morphing wings

• satellite solar panels and space antennas

• morphing core materials for composites

• medical implants for minimum invasive surgery.

Though traditionally the subject falls within structural engineering, motion structures are more closely related to other mechanisms, and they draw on the principles of kinematic and geometrical analysis in their design. Indeed their design and analysis can be viewed as an extension of the theory of mechanisms, such as rigid origami, and can make effective use of a wealth of mathematical principles.

This book outlines the relevant underlying theory and motion structural concepts, and uses a number of innovative but simple structures as examples.

Structural OptimizationDynamic and Seismic Applications

Franklin Y. Cheng, Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA and Kevin Z. Truman, University of Missouri, USA

Series: Structural Engineering: Mechanics and Design

Today’s biggest structural engineering challenge is to design better structures, and a key issue is the need to take an integrated approach which balances control of costs with the requirement for handling earthquakes and other dynamic forces. Structural optimization is based on rigorous mathematical formulation and requires computation algorithms for sizing structural elements and

synthesizing systems. Now that the right software and enough computing power are readily available, professionals can now develop a suite of alternative designs and a select suitable one.

A thoroughly-written and practical book on structural optimization is long overdue. This solid book comprehensively presents current optimization strategies, illustrated with sufficient examples of the design of elements and systems and presenting descriptions of the process and results. Emphasis is given to dynamic loading, in particular to seismic forces.

Researchers and practising engineers will find this book an excellent reference, and advanced undergraduates or graduate students can use it as a resource for structural optimization design.

Engineering Modelling and AnalysisDavid Walker, Michael Leonard, Andrew Metcalfe and Martin Lambert all at University of Adelaide, Australia

Introducing engineering students to numerical analysis and computing, this book covers a range of topics suitable for the first three years of a four year undergraduate engineering degree. The teaching of computing to engineers is hampered by the lack of suitable problems for the students to tackle, so much effort has gone into making the problems in this book

realistic and relevant, while at the same time solvable for undergraduates.

Taking a balanced approach to teaching computing and computer methods at the same time, this book satisfies the need to be able to use computers (using both formal languages such as Fortran and other applications such as Matlab and Microsoft Excel), and the need to be able to solve realistic engineering problems.

Concrete Structural FailuresCase Studies in Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete

Robin Whittle, Arup Ltd., UK

Some lessons are only learned from mistakes. Robin Whittle examines a series of cases from his fifty year career in concrete structures where things have gone wrong.

Each case is analyzed to identify its cause and see how it might have been prevented. He then looks at how failures in structural modelling can lead to big problems if they are not identified before construction is undertaken; and then examines how contract arrangements can encourage or prevent problems in the designing and building processes. The book concludes with an examination of the role research and development in preventing failures.

Invaluable reading if you’re designing or building concrete structures and want to avoid problems which could be expensive or embarrassing further down the line.

Modern Concrete Technology

Series Editors: Arnon Bentur and Sydney Mindless

Forthcoming in 2011

Sustainability of ConcretePierre-Claude Aïtcin, Sherbrooke University, Canada and Sidney Mindess, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada

Production of Portland cement is responsible for about 7% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The pressure to make the production of concrete more sustainable, or ’greener’, is considerable and increasing. This requires a wholesale shift in processes, materials and methods in the concrete industry. Pure Portland cement will need to be replaced by more complex binary, tertiary or even quaternary binders, including other types of cementitious materials. We can expect an increasing use of high performance concrete, primarily because of its high sustainability and durability. Much more attention will have to be paid to the proper curing of the concrete if we want to improve its life expectancy.

Presenting the latest advances in the science of concrete this book focuses particularly on sustainability, durability, and economy. It explores the potential for increased sustainability in concrete from the initial mixing right through to its behaviour in complex structures exposed to different types of loads and aggressive environments.

Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Terminology and Definitions 3. The Water/Cement and Water/Binder Ratios 4. Durability, Sustainability and Profitability 5. Modern Binders 6. Role of Water 7.

Offshore Geotechnical EngineeringMark Randolph and Susan Gourvenec, both at University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia

Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore, and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation

techniques. As a consequence offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality.

The structure of Offshore Geotechnical Engineering follows a pattern that mimics the flow of a typical offshore project. In the early chapters it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered which require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards.

This book serves as a framework for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and will appeal to professional engineers specializing in the offshore industry.

Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. The Offshore Environment 3. Offshore Site Investigation 4. Soil Behaviour 5. Piled Foundations 6. Shallow Foundations 7. Anchoring Systems 8. Mobile Drilling Rigs 9. Pipeline and Riser Geotechnics 10. Geohazards

Earthquake Engineering for Structural DesignVictor Gioncu, Technical University, Timisoara, Romania and Federico Mazzolani, University of Naples Federico II, Italy

Developments in Earthquake Engineering have focussed on the capacity and response of structures. They often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing of design. It is not enough only to understand the anatomy of the structure, you must also appreciate the nature of the likely earthquake.

Seismic design, as detailed in this book, is the bringing

together of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design – analyzing various types of earthquake and how they affect structures differently. Understanding the distinction between these earthquake types and their different impacts on buildings can make the difference between whether a building stands or falls, or at least to how much it costs to repair.

Covering the basis and basics of the major international codes, this is the essential guide for professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the world.

Selected Contents: 1. Living with Earthquakes 2. Learning from Earthquakes 3. Engineering Seismology and Earthquake Engineering 4. Advances in Conception About Earthquakes 5.

Ground Improvement by Deep Vibratory MethodsKlaus Kirsch, Keller Group, Germany and Fabian Kirsch, GuD Consult GmbH, Germany

Vibro compaction and vibro stone columns are the two dynamic methods of soil improvement most commonly used worldwide. These methods have been developed over seventy years and are now in a position of unrivalled importance amongst modern foundation measures. The first works on granular soil by densification, and the second is used to displace and reinforce fine

grained and cohesive soils by introducing inert material.

This practical guide for professional geotechnical engineers outlines the development of vibratory deep compaction, describes the equipment used, sets out the methods and techniques and provides state of the art design principles and quality control procedures. It also identifies the practical limitations of the methods. Case studies from South East Asia and the Middle East are used to illustrate the methods and to demonstrate how they apply in real world conditions. The book concludes with some variations of the basic methods, evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of the methods and gives contractual guidance.

Hydrology in PracticeElizabeth M. Shaw, Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell both at Lancaster University, UK and Rob Lamb, JBA Consulting, UK

This fourth edition of Hyrodology in Practice while retaining all that is excellent about its predecessor, by Elizabeth Shaw, replaces the material on the Flood Studies Report with an equivalent section on the methods of the Flood Estimation Handbook and its revisions. Other completely revised sections on instrumentation and modelling

reflect the many changes that have occurred over recent years. The updated text has taken advantage of the extensive practical experience of the staff of JBA Consulting who use the methods described on a day-to-day basis. Topical case studies further enhance the text and the way in which students at undergraduate and MSc level can relate to it. The fourth edition will also have a wider appeal outside the UK by including new material on hydrological processes which also relate to courses in geography and environmental science departments. In this respect the book draws on the expertise of Keith Beven and Nick Chappell who have extensive experience of field hydrological studies in a variety of different environments, and teaching undergraduate hydrology courses for many years.

Second and final year undergraduates (and MSc) students of hydrology in Engineering, Environmental Science and Geography Departments across the globe, as well as professionals in environmental protection agencies and consultancies, will find this book invaluable. It is likely to be the course text for every undergraduate/MSc hydrology course in the UK and in many cases overseas too.

Hydraulic Modelling – An IntroductionPrinciples, Methods and Applications

Pavel Novak, formerly at University of Newcastle, UK, Vincent Guinot, University of Montpellier, France, Alan Jeffrey, University of Newcastle, UK and Dominic E. Reeve, University of Plymouth, UK

’This book should definitely find its place in all libraries concerned with hydraulics, hydroinformatics and modelling. It certainly should be available in their respective institutions to all engineers who are involved in modelling or are using results of models. And it should be advised as essential reading to students at postgraduate level in

hydraulics and hydroinformatics.’ – Jean A. Cunge, Journal of Hydroinformatics

Modelling forms a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions they make. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions.

Considering the advantages and limitations of both physical and mathematical methods, this book will help you identify the most appropriate form of analysis for the hydraulic engineering application in question. All models require the knowledge of their background, good data and careful interpretation and so this book also provides guidance on the range of accuracy to be expected of the model simulations and how they should be related to the prototype. An invaluable guide for students and professionals.

Modelling for Coastal Hydraulics and EngineeringK.W. Chau, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Japan

Mechanistic models are often employed to simulate processes in coastal environments. However, these predictive tools are highly specialized, involve certain assumptions and limitations, and can be manipulated only by experienced engineers who have a thorough understanding of the underlying principles. This results in significant constraints on their manipulation as well as large

gaps in understanding and expectations between the developers and users of a model.

Recent advancements in soft computing technologies make it possible to integrate machine learning capabilities into numerical modelling systems in order to bridge the gaps and lessen the demands on human experts. This book reviews the state-of-the-art in conventional coastal modelling as well as in the increasingly popular integration of various artificial intelligence technologies into coastal modelling. Conventional hydrodynamic and water quality modelling techniques comprise finite difference and finite element methods. The novel algorithms and methods include knowledge-based systems, genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks, and fuzzy inference systems.

Different soft computing methods contribute towards accurate and reliable prediction of coastal processes. Combining these techniques and harnessing their benefits has the potential to make extremely powerful modelling tools.

Construction ContractsQuestions and Answers

David Chappell, David Chappell Consultancy Ltd, Wakefield, UK

What they said about the first edition:

’A fascinating concept, full of knowledgeable gems put in the most frank of styles... A book to sample when the time is right and to come back to when another time is right, maybe again and again.’ – David A Simmonds, Building Engineer Magazine

Construction law can be a minefield. Professionals need

answers which are pithy and straightforward, as well as legally rigorous. The two hundred questions in the book are real questions, picked from the thousands of telephone enquiries David Chappell has received as a Specialist Adviser to the Royal Institute of British Architects. Although the enquiries were originally from architects, the answers to most of them are of interest to project managers, contractors, QSs, employers and others involved in construction.
