Design of Wind and Earthquake Resistant Reinforced Concrete Buildings explains wind and seismic design issues of RCC buildings in brief and provides design examples based on recommendations of latest IS codes essential for industrial design. Intricate issues of RCC design are discussed which are supplemented by real-life examples. Guidelines are presented for evaluating the acceptability of wind-induced motions of tall buildings. Design methodologies for structures to deform well beyond their elastic limits, which is essential under seismic excitation, have been discussed in detail. Comparative discussion including typical design examples using recent British, Euro and American codes is also included. Features:Explains wind and earthquake resistant design issues, balancing theoretical aspects and design implications, in detailDiscusses issues for designing the wind and earthquake resistant RCC structures Provides comprehensive understanding, analysis, design and detailing of the structures Includes a detailed discussion on IS code related to wind and earthquake resistant design and its comparison with Euro, British and American codes Contains architectural drawings and structural drawingsThe book is aimed at researchers, professionals, graduate students in wind and earthquake engineering, design of RCC structures, modelling and analysis of structures, civil/infrastructure engineering.

This book explains behavioral aspects of Reinforced Concrete (RCC) structures along with brief research to understand the codal recommendations in different countries. Related issues of RCC design are also discussed and these are supplemented by numerical/design examples and fundamental review questions in each chapter. The subject matter in this book also critically discusses the considerations for non-elastic behavior in design procedures to accommodate design objectives. A comparison of design methodology and output as per IS, BS, EURO and ACI Codes is also included.Features:Covers the basic behavioral aspects of reinforced concrete structuresIncludes design examples to understand the theoretical concepts of different modulesDiscusses considerations for non-elastic behavior for making simple design procedures to accommodate design objectives within codal provisionsProvides the basic insights necessary for effective development of a designIncludes a number of design examples along with working drawingsThis book is aimed at researchers; professionals; graduate students in RCC structures, civil and infrastructure engineering; and those involved in project execution and consultancy firms.

​This book introduces research advances in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) that have taken place under the aegis of the AFOSR/AFRL sponsored Center of Excellence on Integrated Materials Modeling (CEIMM) at Johns Hopkins University. Its author team consists of leading researchers in ICME from prominent academic institutions and the Air Force Research Laboratory. The book examines state-of-the-art advances in physics-based, multi-scale, computational-experimental methods and models for structural materials like polymer-matrix composites and metallic alloys. The book emphasizes Ni-based superalloys and epoxy matrix carbon-fiber composites and encompasses atomistic scales, meso-scales of coarse-grained models and discrete dislocations, and micro-scales of poly-phase and polycrystalline microstructures. Other critical phenomena investigated include the relationship between microstructural morphology, crystallography, and mechanisms to the material response at different scales; methods of identifying representative volume elements using microstructure and material characterization, and robust deterministic and probabilistic modeling of deformation and damage. Encompassing a slate of topics that enable readers to comprehend and approach ICME-related issues involved in predicting material performance and failure, the book is ideal for mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineers, and materials scientists, in in academic, government, and industrial laboratories.
