معرفی کتاب Seimic Design Aids for Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of Reinforcement Concrete and Steel Bridges
The new 2009 AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design requires pushover analysis for Seismic Design Category D bridges. The pushover analysis can identify the failure modes with collapse sequence of damaged bridges for the limit state design of the system. This is a benchmark book that provides readers with an executable file for a computer program, INSTRUCT, to serve the engineering community’s needs. The book includes step-by-step numerical procedures with five different nonlinear element stiffness formulation methods that vary from the most sophisticated to the simplest and are suitable for users with varying levels of experience in nonlinear analysis. Most of the numerical examples provided with the demonstration of the accuracy of analytical prediction conformed well with the full- or large-scale test results. The key features of this book are as follows: 1. A complete handbook for pushover analysis of reinforced concrete and steel bridges with confined and nonconfined concrete column members of either circular or rectangular cross sections as well as steel members of standard shapes 2. New technology for displacement-based seismic analysis with various indepth, nonlinear member stiffness formulations 3. Step-by-step pushover analysis procedures and applications in bridge engineering 4. A computer execute file for readers to perform pushover analysis 5. Real engineering examples with performance-based bridge design 6. Detailed figures/illustrations as well as detailed input and output descriptions This book is a useful reference for researchers and practitioners working in the field of structural engineering. It is also a key resource for senior undergraduates and all postgraduates that provides an organized collection of nonlinear pushover analysis applications.
