Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures by Mohamed A. El-Reedy

Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures by Mohamed A. El-Reedy

Book Description

The recent worldwide boom in industrial construction and the corresponding billions of dollars spent every year in industrial, oil, gas, and petrochemical and power generation project, has created fierce competition for these projects. Strong management and technical competence will bring your projects in on time and on budget. An in-depth exploration of both these aspects and the resulting challenges, Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures provides a practical guide to the design of reinforced concrete and steel structures and foundations in industrial projects.

Renowned expert Mohamed A. El-Reedy covers the entire industrial construction process, from project management to design and construction to sigh off and providing a maintenance plan. Highlighting the differences between industrial construction and real estate or residential construction, he examines every phase and every role, from managerial to technical. He includes cases from industrial projects and covers the international technical practices, codes, and standards used in steel or concrete onshore or offshore projects. The book provides up-to-date methodologies in structure analysis, geotechnical studies, and international special codes and standards for industrial structures such as tanks, foundation under towers, machines, and special structures in industrial projects. It also examines the safety and economic benefits of developing a structure integrity management system.

When a project has a budget that seems as huge at the structure itself, the client, engineering firm, and contractor must work together to achieve success. Discussing the interface between these three main partners, this book outlines strategies for checking the design and controlling a project in all its phases.

Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering by Anil K. Chopra

Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering by Anil K. Chopra

Book Description

This book includes many topics in the theory of structural dynamics and applications of this theory to earthquake analysis, response, and design of structures. No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed. The presentation is sufficiently detailed and integrated to make the book suitable for self-study by interested parties, as well as, professional engineers.FEATURES: 

* Relates the structural idealizations studied to the properties of real structures.

* Presents the theory of dynamic response of structures in a manner that emphasizes physical insight into the analytical procedures. 

* Illustrates applications of the theory to solutions of problems motivated by practical applications. 

* Interprets the theoretical results to understand the response of structures to various dynamic excitations, with emphasis on earthquake excitation.

* Applies structural dynamics theory to conduct parametric studies that bring out several fundamental issues in the earthquake response and design of multistory buildings. 

* Illustrates analytical procedures by over 100 worked out examples. 

* Includes over 400 figures that have been carefully designed and executed to be pedagogically effective. 

* Photographs of structures and their responses recorded during earthquakes are included to relate the presentation to the real world.

Designing Steel Structures for Fire Safety by Jean Marc Franssen, Venkatesh Kodur and Raul Zaharia

Designing Steel Structures for Fire Safety by Jean Marc Franssen, Venkatesh Kodur and Raul Zaharia

Book Description

Structural design in fire conditions is conceptually similar to structural design in normal temperature conditions, but often more difficult because of internal forces induced by thermal expansion, strength reduction due to elevated temperatures, and numerous other factors. In recent years there has been a growing interest in the development of codes and standards for evaluating fire resistance of structures, such as the Eurocodes. Designing Steel Structures for Fire Safety provides guidance for those wishing to apply engineering methodologies for fire design of steel structures. Theoretical and technical backgrounds help to understand more clearly the calculation methodologies, while examples on how a complete structure can be analyzed are also included. The volume will be invaluable to a worldwide audience, from academics, students and professionals in civil engineering and architecture, to building officials and regulators.

Construction Materials: Their Nature and Behaviour, 4th Edition by Peter Domone and John Illston

Construction Materials: Their Nature and Behaviour, 4th Edition by Peter Domone and John Illston

Book Description

This new edition has been expanded to cover recent developments such as the use of glass as a structural material. It also now examines the contribution that material selection makes to sustainable construction practice, considering the availability of raw materials, Bookion, recycling and reuse, which all contribute to the life cycle assessment of structures. As well as being brought up-to-date with current usage and performance standards, each section now also contains an extra chapter on recycling.
Covers the following materials:

·         metals

·         concrete

·         ceramics (including bricks and masonry)

·         polymers

·         fibre composites

·         bituminous materials

·         timber

·         glass.

This new edition maintains our familiar and accessible format, starting with fundamental principles and continuing with a section on each of the major groups of materials. It gives you a clear and comprehensive perspective on the whole range of materials used in modern construction. A must have for Civil and Structural engineering students, and for students of architecture, surveying or construction on courses which require an understanding of materials.

Construction Technology, 4th Edition by Roger Greeno and Roy Chudley

Construction Technology, 4th Edition by Roger Greeno and Roy Chudley

Book Description

So far in the twenty-first century, there have been many developments in our understanding of materials’ behaviour and in their technology and use. Construction Technology covers the basic elements of substructure (site works, setting out and foundations) and superstructure (flooring and roofs, simple finishes, fittings and fixtures), as well as basic services such as water, gas electricity and drainage, and considers low-rise framed industrial and commercial buildings.

·         An ideal reference for students on construction crafts courses, this is an essential text for all students new to the subject, whether they are on GNVQ, BTEC HNC/D or degree programmes in construction or related sectors.

·         Completely updated to take into account new Building Regulation requirements. Includes information on construction techniques updated in line with new regulations.

·         New chapter — Access and Facilities for the Disabled — includes domestic and commercial areas.

·         Additional information covering the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

·         Ideal introduction: assumes no previous knowledge of the subject.Covers conventional methods of on-site construction.

·         Presents a rational, logical progression of subjects following the construction sequence.

·         Represents contemporary and established practice. Keeps key elements of historic practice for maintenance reference.

·         Detailed illustrations capture core information.

·         Contains up-to-date references to current legislation and regulations, including the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 and the Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996.
