Böcker i Structural Engineering: Mechanics and Design-serien

Deals with the fundamentals of composites, and basic design principles, and provides guidelines for design. This book focuses on the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced, reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using carbon, glass and other high strength fibre composites.

A thorough and understandable guide to the properties and design of structural composites. It derives from the author's many years of experience of research, industrial development and teaching.

Structural optimization is based on rigorous mathematical formulation and requires computation algorithms for sizing structural elements and synthesizing systems. This book comprehensively presents optimization strategies, illustrated with examples of the design of elements and systems and presenting descriptions of the process and results.

Offering a presentation of engineering seismology and earthquake-resistant design, this book presents coverage of the whole subject of earthquake engineering so that the reader is given an appreciation of earthquakes before dealing with their effects on structures.

Innovative Shear Design presents a new, rational and economical design procedure that offers increased protection against shear for all types of structures.
