Understanding the Failure of Materials and Structures introduces practical aspects of mechanical characterisation of materials and structures.

This book highlights the untapped potential of underground spaces as a pivotal resource for climate resilience and sustainable urban development.

Many concrete structures and elements of concrete infrastructure have exceeded their original design lives and are deteriorating to an extent where they are becoming dangerous.

Metal and composite components used in structural engineering not only contain geometrical features resulting in stress concentration phenomena, but they are also subjected to in-service multiaxial fatigue loading.

Given the increasing use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structural civil engineering, there is a vital need for critical information related to the overall durability and performance of these new materials under harsh and changing conditions.

Whilst most structures made using concrete and cement-based composites have not shown signs of premature degradation, there have been notable exceptions.

Adhesive bonding is often effective, efficient, and often necessary way to join mechanical structures.

Understanding and recognising failure mechanisms in concrete is a fundamental pre-requisite to determining the type of repair, or whether a repair is feasible.

Fatigue is a major issue affecting safety and quality of service in the railway industry.

The API Individual Certification Programs (ICPs) are well established worldwide in the oil, gas, and petroleum industries.

Structural health monitoring is an extremely important methodology in evaluating the 'health' of a structure by assessing the level of deterioration and remaining service life of civil infrastructure systems.

Metal and composite components used in structural engineering not only contain geometrical features resulting in stress concentration phenomena, but they are also subjected to in-service multiaxial fatigue loading.

Any structural system in service is subject to age-related deterioration, leading to potential concerns regarding maintenance, health & safety, environmental and economic implications.

Pipeline engineering requires an understanding of a wide range of topics.

The repair of deteriorated, damaged and substandard civil infrastructures has become one of the most important issues for the civil engineer worldwide.

Many concrete structures and elements of concrete infrastructure have exceeded their original design lives and are deteriorating to an extent where they are becoming dangerous.

Engineers have a range of sophisticated techniques at their disposal to evaluate the condition of reinforced concrete structures and non-destructive evaluation plays a key part in assessing and prioritising where money should be spent on repair or replacement of structurally deficient reinforced concrete structures.

Versatility, speed and low cost make wet-stick welding an attractive method for use in underwater repair and construction.

An updated, revised and expanded version of Professor Burdekin's earlier work of the same title, this book explains this branch of thermal engineering in clear, practical terms.

The key to avoidance of fatigue, which is the main cause of service failures, is good design.

An English version of a sucessful German book.

Plated structures are widely used in many engineering constructions ranging from aircraft to ships and from off-shore structures to bridges and buildings.

Steel and other types of plated structures are used in a variety of applications from aircrafts to ships and offshore platforms to bridges, power plants and cranes.

The safety, maintenance and repair of bridges and buildings depend on effective inspection and monitoring techniques.

Having a good understanding of a construction material's performance under different conditions is essential for helping engineers in selecting the right type of material for a job and for setting design specifications.

Geomechanical Aspects of Abandoned Room and Pillar Mines and Remediation Measures addresses the occurrence, prediction, and control of subsidence issues encountered in room and pillar mining, including creep, degradation, and seismic aspects.

Few men have rightly earned the title of genius, but one must surely be Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

The aim of the Watching series is to draw attention to some of the very interesting items around us, things that perhaps we don't notice as much as we might.

The Second Sino-US Symposium Workshop on Recent Advancement of Computational Mechanics in Structural Engineering was held between May 25-28, 1998, in Dalian, China.

Reinforced Concrete Design (RC) is performed mostly by the limit state method throughout the world.

Expert coverage of ASCE 7-16-compliant, wind-resistant engineering methods for safer, sounder low-rise and standard multi-story buildingsUsing the hands-on information contained in this comprehensive engineering guide you will be able to design and construct safer buildings that will better withstand extreme wind forces.

As an emerging discrete structural model, the Hencky bar-chain/net model (HBM) has shown its advantages over other numerical methods in some problems.

The book is about bridging the huge gaps between what engineers know, what they do and why things go wrong.

In the oil and gas industries, large companies are endeavoring to find and utilize efficient structural health monitoring methods in order to reduce maintenance costs and time.

This book provides rigorous foundations of applying modern computational mechanics to earthquake engineering.

This book provides an in-depth treatment of the study of the stability of engineering structures.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a relatively new and alternative way of non-destructive inspection (NDI).

From the monumental splendour of Tower Bridge and the august span at Westminster to the engineering masterpieces at Ironbridge and the Forth, bridges comprise some of the most recognisable landmarks in Britain.

The fifteen chapters of this book are arranged in a logical progression.

Since the early 1960s, coupled instabilities - also called compound buckling, simultaneous buckling or interactive buckling - have been a topic that was studied by many researchers.

This important book provides an account of the linear acoustics of basic isotropic/anisotropic structures excited by time-harmonic and transient mechanical forces and acoustic sources.

This is a unique book about natural catastrophes, focusing on the mathematical aspects of these phenomena.

This book starts, by explaining briefly the origins of wind.

Structures cannot be created without engineering theory, and design rules have existed from the earliest times for building Greek temples, Roman aqueducts and Gothic cathedrals - and later, for steel skyscrapers and the frames for aircraft.
