The Prestressed Concrete Panel Composite Slab Method and Its Applications

Prestressed Concrete Piles

A state of the art presentation on prestressed piling as used throughout the world is discussed in this General Report to the FIP Symposium on Mass-Produced Prestressed Precast Elements in Madrid, Spain, May 1968. Historical information, design data and notes along with manufacturing techniques, installation practices, discussion of problems and failures and a complete bibliography are all cove...

Ductility of Prestressed and Partially Prestressed Concrete Beam Sections

D analyses of structures responding elastically to ground motions recorded during severe earthquakes have shown that the theoretical response inertia loads are generally significantly greater than the static design lateral loads recommended by codes. Hence, structures designed for the lateral earthquake loads recommended by codes can only survive severe earthquakes if they have sufficient ducti...

buckling of viscoelastic composite plates using the finite strip method

در سال های اخیر، تقاضای استفاده از تئوری خطی ویسکوالاستیسیته بیشتر شده است. با افزایش استفاده از کامپوزیت های پیشرفته در صنایع هوایی و همچنین استفاده روزافزون از مواد پلیمری، اهمیت روش های دقیق طراحی و تحلیل چنین ساختارهایی بیشتر شده است. این مواد جدید از خودشان رفتارهای مکانیکی ارائه می دهند که با تئوری های الاستیسیته و ویسکوزیته، نمی توان آن ها را توصیف کرد. این مواد، خواص ویسکوالاستیک دارند....
