The personal journey of a designer and scientist through the field of fiber-polymer composites.Composites in Structural Engineering and Architecture is about the author’s twenty-five-year journey as a pioneer, scientist, designer, and lecturer in the...

Following current trends toward development of novel materials and structures, this volume explores the concept of high-performance metamaterials and metastructures with extremal mechanical properties, inspired by tensegrity systems. The idea of extremal...

This book bridges the gap between academic and professional field pertaining to design of industrial reinforced cement concrete and steel structures. It covers pertinent topics on contracts, specifications, soil survey and design criteria to clarify...

Elasto-Plastic Damage Behaviour of Concrete Elements presents the results of practical experiments with numerical analyses and case studies, along with a summary of basic theory, to provide an accessible explanation for young practising engineers on the...

This book summarizes the most essential concepts that every engineer designing a new building or evaluating an existing structure should consider in order to control the damage caused by drift (deformation) induced by earthquakes. It presents the work on...

This book introduces fundamentals, measurements, and applications of rheology of fresh cement-based materials. The rheology of a fresh cement-based material is one of its most important aspects, characterizing its flow and deformation, and governing the...

To prevent the collapse of dangerous rock masses on steep rocky reservoir banks which can cause casualties and property loss, it is essential to design and conduct practical experiments to quantify the evolution processes of the reservoir banks and...

Numerical Solutions for Nanocomposite Structures provides an in-depth exploration of structural analysis using numerical methods grounded in rigorous mathematical modeling. Theoretical foundations are established by comprehensively elucidating theories...
