Structural And System Reliability

This book offers unique insight on structural safety and reliability by combining computational methods that address multiphysics problems, involving multiple equations describing different physical phenomena and multiscale problems, involving discrete sub-problems that together describe important aspects of a system at multiple scales.

Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI), leader in software tools for structural and earthquake engineering, has released 6.0.0 version of PERFORM-3D is a structural-engineering software useful for the performance assessment of structural systems.

This book provides the state-of-the-art on recent progress in the field of seimology, earthquake engineering and structural engineering. The book should be useful to graduate students, researchers and practicing structural engineers.

Earthquakes, bridge collapses, and other natural disasters have dominated news coverage in the last few years. Aging infrastructure needs to be rehabilitated and new infrastructure needs to be designed differently. Presenting a highly innovative, modern approach verging on the futuristic, Wavelet-Based Vibration Control of Smart Buildings and Bridges discusses a new generation of building and bridge structures that not only withstands[generation is singular] the destructive effects of nature but is also impact and explosion resistant.

VersaFrame offers cutting-edge computational power (e.g. steel design, concrete design, plate elements, brick elements, p-delta analysis, sparse solver, frequency analysis, etc.) at a very affordable price. The latest version features new and advanced design and analysis tools such as: freeze all except plane, story drift calculations and additional automatic geometry generators (nodes from grid, member by nodes, shell 4s by nodes and bricks by nodes). The new version of VersaFrame also has ability of defining tension only or compression only members and rigid diaphragms.
