ABOUT THE BOOK

            Theoretical Soil Mechanics written by Karl Terzaghi, Late Professor of the Practice of Civil Engineering, Harvard University, Lecturer and Research Consultant in Civil Engineering, University of Illinois, is published by John Wiley and Son Inc. 

             The contents of this volume has been limited to theories which have stood the test of experience and which are applicable, under certain conditions and restrictions, to the approximate solutions of practical problems. 

             Besides providing the reader with a working knowledge of useful methods of analysis, theoretical soil mechanics also serves an important educational purpose. The radical separation between theory and application makes it easy to impress upon the reader the conditions for validity of the different mental operations known as theories. Once the reader has grasped, on the basis of the results of the analysis, the manifold factors which determine the behaviour of simple, ideal materials under the influence of internal and external forces, he will be less likely to succumb to the omnipresent danger of unwanted generalizations based on inadequate data. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

                  Karl von Terzaghi (October 2,1883–October 25,1963) was an Austrian civil engineer and geologist known as the "father of soil mechanics" . In 1883, Karl von Terzaghi was born the first child of Army Lieutenant-Colonel Anton von Terzaghi and Amalia Eberle in Prague, in what is now the Czech Republic. Upon his father's retirement from the army, the family moved to Graz, Austria. The American Society of Civil Engineers established in 1960 the Karl Terzaghi Award to an "author of outstanding contributions to knowledge in the fields of soil mechanics, subsurface and earthwork engineering, and subsurface and earthwork construction". The Terzaghi and Peck Library, which is managed by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, in Oslo, Norway, holds an extensive collection of his papers. The Mission Dam in British Columbia, Canada, was renamed in his honor as the Terzaghi Dam in 1965.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF TALL BUILDING - STEEL AND COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION - BUNGALE S. TARANATH - FREE DOWNLOAD PDF

ABOUT THE BOOK

                      Structural Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings - Steel and Composite Construction written by Bungale S. Taranath, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., Corporate Consultant, DeSimone Consulting Engineers Las Vegas, Nevada is published by CRC Press. 

                      Using conceptual thinking and basic strength of material concepts as foundations, the book attempts to show how to use imperfect information to estimate the answer to much larger and complex design problems. To do so requires a certain intuitive feel for numbers as well as an appreciation of the fact that the “right answer” in this context is only of an order of magnitude of a more precise computer solution, but good enough to put us on the right track. The whole idea is to break seemingly intractable problems down to more manageable pieces that can be quickly approximated. The emphasis in this book is on steel and composite building systems.

This book integrates the design aspects of steel and composite buildings within a single text. This book will serve as a comprehensive design guide and reference for practicing engineers and educators, and, more importantly, as a welcome mat for recent graduates entering the structural engineering profession by assuring them that they have discovered an exciting world of challenges and opportunities.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

                     Dr. Bungale S. Taranath, PhD, PE, SE, is a corporate consultant to DeSimone Consulting Engineers, a consulting firm, with offices in New York, Miami, San Francisco, New Haven, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi. He has extensive experience in the design of concrete, steel, and composite tall buildings and has served as principal-in-charge  for many notable high-rise buildings. He has held positions as a senior project engineer in Chicago, Illinois, and as vice president and principal-in-charge  with two consulting firms in Houston, Texas. He has also served as a senior project manager with a consulting firm in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Taranath is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Concrete Institute, and a registered structural and professional engineer in several states. He has conducted research into the behavior of tall buildings and shear wall structures and is the author of a number of published papers on torsion analysis and multistory construction projects.

ADVANCED METHODS OF STRUCTURAL ANALYSISBY IGOR A.KARNOVSKY AND OLGA LEBER - SPRINGER - FREE DOWNLOAD PDF

ABOUT THE BOOK 

              Advanced Methods of Structural Analysis written by Igor A.Karnovsky and Olga Leber is published by Springer Media, 2010

             Author's vision of teaching structural analysis is as follows: on the first step, it is necessary to learn analytical methods, perform detailed analysis of different structures by hand in order to feel the behaviour of structures, and correlate their behaviour with obtained results; the second step is a computer application of engineering software.  

             Authors wrote the book on the basis of their many years of experience of teaching the Structural Analysis at the universities for graduate and postgraduate students as well as on the basis of their experience in consulting companies. 

                  

                 This book is written for students of universities and colleges pursuing Civil or Structural Engineering Programs, instructors of Structural Analysis, and engineers and designers of different structures of modern engineering. 

                   The objective of the book is to help a reader to develop an understanding of the ideas and methods of structural analysis and to teach a reader to estimate and explain numerical results obtained by hand; this is a fundamental stone for preparation of reader for numerical analysis of structures and for use of engineering software with full understanding.

ABOUT THE BOOK

                     Structural Analysis in Theory and Practice written by Alan Williams is published by Butterworth-Heinemann , Elsevier. 

                      It teaches the fundamentals of structural analysis, which author believe are becoming lost in structural engineering. Having a solid foundation in the fundamentals of analysis enables engineers to understand the behaviour of structures and to recognize when output from a computer program does not make sense.   

                       Students will become better students and engineers will become better engineers as a result of this book. It will not only give a better understanding of structural analysis; it will make you more proficient and efficient in your day-to-day work.
