Book Description

This third edition of Examples in Structural Analysis uses a step-by-step approach and provides an extensive collection of fully worked and graded examples for a wide variety of structural analysis problems. It presents detailed information on the methods of solutions to problems and the results obtained. Also given within the text is a summary of each of the principal analysis techniques inherent in the design process and where appropriate, an explanation of the mathematical models used.

The text emphasises that software should only be used if designers have appropriate knowledge and understanding of the mathematical assumptions, modelling and limitations inherent in the programs they use. It establishes the use of hand-methods for obtaining approximate solutions during preliminary design and an independent check on the answers obtained from computer analysis.

What is New in the Third Edition:

A new chapter covers the analysis and design of cables and arches subjected to concentrated loads and uniformly distributed loads. For cables without or with simply supported pinned trusses or steel girder beams through equally spaced hangers, tension forces, support reactions, sags and slopes in cables are determined. For two-pinned or three-pinned arches with parabolic, arched and semi-circular shapes, axial forces, radial shear forces and bending moments at various sections of arches are determined. An existing chapter has been expanded to the construction and use of influence lines for pin-pointed trusses and lattice girders. Also, the chapter Direct Stiffness Methods has been revisited and amended.

Biography

Dr William M. C. McKenzie is also the author of six design textbooks relating to both the British Standards and the structural Eurocodes for structural design of various construction materials and members, e.g. steel, concrete, masonry and timber, and one structural analysis textbook. As a member of the Institute of Physics, he was both a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered Physicist and had been largely involved in teaching, research and consultancy for more than 40 years.

Professor Binsheng Zhang has been working at Tongji University and three Scottish universities since completing PhD in 1987 and his teaching, research and consultancy interests include design, analysis and modelling of concrete, timber and steel structures, construction materials technology, dynamic performance of structures, and tests on mechanical properties and structural performances of construction materials and members under various loading and extreme environmental conditions. He has published 3 textbooks and over 100 technical papers.

Descripción del libro

Esta tercera edición de Ejemplos de análisis estructural utiliza un enfoque paso a paso y proporciona una amplia colección de ejemplos completamente trabajados y calificados para una amplia variedad de problemas de análisis estructural. Presenta información detallada sobre los métodos de solución de problemas y los resultados obtenidos. En el texto también se incluye un resumen de cada una de las principales técnicas de análisis inherentes al proceso de diseño y, en su caso, una explicación de los modelos matemáticos utilizados.

El texto enfatiza que el software solo debe usarse si los diseñadores tienen el conocimiento y la comprensión adecuados de los supuestos matemáticos, el modelado y las limitaciones inherentes a los programas que utilizan. Establece el uso de métodos manuales para obtener soluciones aproximadas durante el diseño preliminar y una verificación independiente de las respuestas obtenidas del análisis por computadora.

Novedades de la Tercera Edición:

Un nuevo capítulo cubre el análisis y diseño de cables y arcos sujetos a cargas concentradas y cargas uniformemente distribuidas. Para cables sin o con armaduras articuladas simplemente apoyadas o vigas de vigas de acero a través de colgantes igualmente espaciados, se determinan las fuerzas de tensión, las reacciones de apoyo, las flechas y las pendientes en los cables. Para arcos de dos o tres pernos con formas parabólicas, arqueadas y semicirculares, se determinan las fuerzas axiales, las fuerzas de corte radial y los momentos de flexión en varias secciones de los arcos. Un capítulo existente se ha ampliado a la construcción y el uso de líneas de influencia para cerchas puntiagudas y vigas en celosía. Además, el capítulo Métodos de rigidez directa ha sido revisado y modificado.
