Modern Experimental Stress Analysis Completing the Solution of Partially Specified Problems By James F. Doyle

Introduction This book is based on the assertion that, in modern stress analysis, constructing the model is constructing the solution—that the model is the solution. But all model representations of real structures must be incomplete; after all, we cannot be completely aware of every material property, every aspect of the loading, and every condition of the environment, for any particular structure. Therefore, as a corollary to the assertion, we posit that a very important role of modern experimental stress analysis is to aid in completing the construction of the model.…

Highway and Traffic Engineering in Developing Countries By Bent Thagesen

Preference : The main purpose of this book is to meet a pronounced need for a textbook on planning, design, construction, maintenance, and management of roads and traffic in the traditional developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Most of these countries, which do not include the former Eastern Bloc countries, are situated in the tropics, where the natural conditions are different from related conditions in temperate regions. Also, the institutional issues and the financial problems confronting countries in the ‘South’ are usually different from the state of affairs…

Advanced Geotechnical Analyses By P.K.Banerjee and R.Butterfield

Introduction Geotechnical engineers have to deal with complex geometrical configurations as well as enormously difficult materials which exhibit, strongly, a path-dependent mechanical behavior. In addition, geological deposits display extensive inhomogeneities which are often difficult to define quantitatively. As a result, most geotechnical engineering design problems require significant use of the engineer’s imagination, creativity, judgment, common sense, and experience. To many geotechnical engineers, therefore, the role of any advanced analysis, particularly advanced computer-based analyses, remains undefined. The editors have therefore invited some outstanding engineers who are engaged not only in developing…
