Advanced earthquake engineering analysis / Pecker, Alain (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Advanced earthquake engineering analysis Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Pecker, Alain, Auteur Editeur : Berlin ; London ; Cham : Springer Année de publication : 2007 Collection : CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-211-74214-3 Note générale : Configuration requise : Adobe acrobat Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Engineering Mechanical engineering Building construction Résumé : During the last decade, the state-of-the-art in Earthquake Engineering Design and Analysis has made significant steps towards a more rational analysis of structures. Scientists have long recognized that earthquake design is guided by displacements and deformations rather than forces. However due to the historical background of structural engineers in static analyses, effects of earthquake on structures have been viewed as forces acting on the structures. All presently available design building codes are developed along these lines. Our knowledge of ground motion characteristics, earthquake geotechnical engineering, structural behavior (design and numerical analyses) and model tests have advanced to a point where it is possible to anticipate a significant move from force based design approaches to displacements based design approaches. Although displacement based analyses constitute the kernel of most research programs, they have not yet been incorporated in the state of practice. The purpose of the book is to review the fundamentals of displacement based methods, starting from engineering seismology, earthquake geotechnical engineering, to focus on design, analysis and testing of structures with emphasis on buildings and bridges.

Probabilistic methods in geotechnical engineering (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Probabilistic methods in geotechnical engineering Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Griffiths, D. V., Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Berlin ; London ; Cham : Springer Année de publication : 2007 Collection : CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences Importance : 346 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-211-73365-3 Note générale : Références bibliographiques Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Conference papers and proceedings Geotechnik Soil mechanics -- Statistical methods Mécanique des sols -- Méthodes statistiques Index. décimale : 624.13 Géotechnique. Mécanique des sols. Ouvrages en terres. Techniques de congélations des terrains Résumé : Because soils and rocks are among the most variable of engineering materials, they are highly amenable to a probabilistic treatment. This text therefore presents state-of-the-art probabilistic techniques for solving problems in geotechnical engineering. The authors introduce you to the underlying theories and provide you with a wealth of practical applications. The book begins with a review of the statistical theories needed to develop the methodologies and then interpret the results of probabilistic analysis. Next, the authors explore established probabilistic methods of analysis, such as the first order second moment method, the point estimate method, the first and second order reliability methods, and random set theory. The book also describes numerical methods of probabilistic analysis based on the finite element method, such as the stochastic finite element method. Lastly, you learn about important new developments concerning the random finite element method. Note de contenu : Summary : 1. Review of Probability Theory, Random Variables, and Random Fields 2. Basic Concepts and Applications of Point Estimate Methods in Geotechnical Engineering 3. Basic Concepts and Applications of Random Sets in Geotechnical Engineering 4. On Some Aspects of Reliability Computations in Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations 5. Application of the response surface method 6. Reliability of Laterally Loaded Rigid Piles 7. Case history: Pile Foundations of a Large Gantry Crane 8. Random Field Generation and the Local Average Subdivision Method 9. The Random Finite Element Method (RFEM) in Steady Seepage Analysis 10. The Random Finite Element Method (RFEM) in Settlement Analyses 11.
