DESCRIPTION:
This book develops this new approach from scratch in a readable and accessible manner. A systematic evaluation for a wide range of actual sites demonstrates sufficient engineering accuracy. Structural analysis is usually carried out by a strength-of-materials approach that allows complex 3-D structures to be modelled adequately for design needs in a single dimension. However, this approach is not extensively used in geotechnical engineering, partly because 3-D media (soil, rock) are present, but more importantly because until recently the methods necessary to carry out this form of analysis did not exist.In the last ten years efforts at modelling practical problems in foundation analysis using a strength-of-materials approach have developed the concept of the conical bar or beam as a tool. A short computer program written in MATLAB and a user-friendly executable program are provided, while practical examples ensure a clear understanding of the topic. *Simplifies complex 3-D analysis of soil-structure interaction.*Applies strength-of-materials approach to geotechnical engineering.*Illustrated with practical examples.*Executable program and MATLAB program
It also includes appendixes with detailed development of vibration development, soil-structure interaction, wave propagation, and MATLAB implementation. Recommended Senior-level undergraduates through practitioners - CHOICE . This well-written, very logical work offers good illustration and practical applications
Needs more worked examples Istanbullu This is the best book by these authors as it is the only one that has an accompanying software. What the audiences really need are some worked examples that they can implement themselves and check with the results in the book using the software provided by the book. However, for this to be accomplished. This a good book for structural engineer This book introduces a simple and direct approach about the subject, however failure when considering the deadening factors how linear constants.. Engineer Catherine A Price Purchased as a gift for my son. He needs this type of material for his job.
