【簡介】 Provides structural engineers with the knowledge and practical tools needed to perform structural designs for wind that incorporate major technological, conceptual, analytical and computational advances achieved in the last two decades.With clear explanations and documentation of the concepts, methods, algorithms, and software available for accounting for wind loads in structural design, it also describes the wind engineer's contributions in sufficient detail that they can be effectively scrutinized by the structural engineer in charge of the design.Wind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th Edition is organized in four sections. The first covers atmospheric flows, extreme wind speeds, and bluff body aerodynamics. The second examines the design of buildings, and includes chapters on aerodynamic loads; dynamic and effective wind-induced loads; wind effects with specified MRIs; low-rise buildings; tall buildings; and more. The third part is devoted to aeroelastic effects, and covers both fundamentals and applications. The last part considers other structures and special topics such as trussed frameworks; offshore structures; and tornado effects.Offering readers the knowledge and practical tools needed to develop structural designs for wind loadings, this book: Points out significant limitations in the design of buildings based on such techniques as the high-frequency force balanceDiscusses powerful algorithms, tools, and software needed for the effective design for wind, and provides numerous examples of application Discusses techniques applicable to structures other than buildings, including stacks and suspended-span bridges Features several appendices on Elements of Probability and Statistics; Peaks-over-Threshold Poisson-Process Procedure for Estimating Peaks; estimates of the WTC Towers' Response to Wind and their shortcomings; and moreWind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th Edition is an excellent text for structural engineers, wind engineers, and structural engineering students and faculty.

【簡介】 The second edition of Structural Analysis: Understanding Behavior a team delivers a complete approach to the subject, expertly balancing the classical techniques of analysis with computer-based analysis experiences involving parametric studies. The book provides students with foundational knowledge in the concepts that come from studying a subset of classical techniques, and strengthens this foundation with the use of structural analysis software in activities designed to promote self-discovery of structural concepts and behaviors. Most problem sets include parametric exercises that are designed to let students discover the influence that various modeling parameters have upon the response of structures. Practicing engineers influenced topical coverage, such as the inclusion of the chapter on the lateral load path in a building and its relevant components-a topic for which many graduating students would otherwise find themselves ill prepared. The author has also provided video examples for each chapter demonstrating the processes in the text, and showing problems worked out from start to finish. 【目錄】 PART 1 DETERMINATE STRUCTURES 1 Introduction 2 Structural Loads 3 Vertical System Loading and Behavior 4 Lateral System Loading and Behavior 5 Reactions 6 Axial Force, Shear Force, and Bending Moment 7 Plane Trusses 8 Deflections and Angle Changes in Structures 9 Deflection and Angle Changes Using Virtual Work PART 2 INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES 10 Introduction to Statically Indeterminate Structures 11 Force Method for Statically Indeterminate Structures 12 Force Method for Statically Indeterminate Structures Continued 13 Moment Distribution for Beams 14 Moment Distribution for Frames 15 Approximate Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Structures PART 3 INFLUENCE LINES 16 Influence Lines for Determinate Structures 17 Influence Lines for Statically Indeterminate Structures PART 4 MATRIX METHODS FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 18 Introduction to Matrix Methods 19 Direct Stiffness Method for Trusses 20 Direct Stiffness Method for Beams and Frames 21 Additional Topics for the Direct Stiffness Method PART 5 ADDITIONAL ONLINE-ONLY CHAPTERS 22 SLOPE DEFLECTION: A DISPLACEMENT METHOD OF ANALYSIS (ONLINE ONLY) 23 DEFLECTIONS USING THE MOMENT AREA METHOD (ONLINE ONLY) 24 DEFLECTIONS USING GEOMETRIC METHODS (ONLINE ONLY) A ASCE 7-16 Information B Introduction to SAP2000 C Matrix Algebra D Reference Charts
