StructuralAnalysis andDesign of TallBuildingsSteel and CompositeConstructionBungale S. TaranathDeSimone Consulting Engineers,Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

“This book is a must for any serious engineer whotruly wants to understand the gestalt of steel andcomposite tall building design.”

—From the Foreword by Vincent J. DeSimone,Chairman, DeSimone Consulting Engineers

“[Dr. Taranath’s] intentional reliance on intuitiveconcepts rather than a rigorous analyticalapproach helps to facilitate an understanding ofthe many complex ideas involved in tall buildingdesign. ... I’m sure the reader will agree that get-ting back to basics using intuition and conceptual-ization is the best way to present this subject mat-ter; and Dr. Taranath has done an outstanding jobof accomplishing that goal in this comprehensivetall building design guide. He has a perspicuouswriting style with a flair for lucidity rather thanobscurity, and on occasion even highlights it withsome engineering humor.”

—From the ICC Foreword by John R. Henry, PE,Principal Staff Engineer, International Code Council

Reliability ofStructuresSecond EditionAndrzej NowakUniversity of Nebraska, USA

Kevin R. CollinsValley Forge Military College,USA

Reliability of Structures, Second Edition enablesboth students and practicing engineers to appreciatehow to value and handle reliability as an importantdimension of structural design. It discusses the con-cepts of limit states and limit state functions, and pres-ents methodologies for calculating reliability indicesand calibrating partial safety factors. It also suppliesinformation on the probability distributions andparameters used to characterize both applied loadsand member resistances.

This revised and extended second edition containsmore discussions of US and international codes andthe issues underlying their development. There is sig-nificant revision and expansion of the discussion onMonte Carlo simulation, along with more examples.

The book serves as a textbook for a one-semestercourse for advanced undergraduate or graduate stu-dents, or as a reference and guide to consulting struc-tural engineers. Its emphasis is on the practical appli-cations of structural reliability theory rather than thetheory itself. Consequently, probability theory is treat-ed as a tool, and enough information is given to showthe novice reader how to calculate reliability. Somebackground in structural engineering and structuralmechanics is assumed.

A companion website provides a solutions manual for problems in the book.

StructuralOptimizationDynamic and SeismicApplicationsFranklin Y. ChengMissouri University of Scienceand Technology, USA

Kevin Z. TrumanUniversity of Missouri, USA

Today’s biggest structural engineering challenge is todesign stronger structures, and a key issue is the needto take an integrated approach that balances controlof costs with the requirement for withstanding earth-quakes and other dynamic forces. Structural optimiza-tion is based on rigorous mathematical formulationand requires computation algorithms for sizing struc-tural elements and synthesizing systems. This thor-ough, practical book presents current optimizationstrategies. Illustrated with examples of the design ofelements and systems and presenting descriptions ofthe process and results, it emphasizes dynamic load-ing, particularly with respect to seismic forces.

Time-DependentBehaviour ofConcreteStructuresRaymond Ian GilbertUniversity of New South Wales,Australia

Gianluca RanziUniversity of Sydney, Australia

Serviceability failures of concrete structures involvingexcessive cracking or deflection are relatively com-mon, even in structures that comply with coderequirements. This is often as a result of a failure toadequately account for the time-dependent deforma-tions of concrete in the design of the structure. Thisbook helps engineers to rationally predict the time-varying deformation of concrete structures under typ-ical in-service conditions. It gives analytical methodsto help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the grad-ual change in tension stiffening with time, creep-induced deformations, and the load independentstrains caused by shrinkage and temperature changes.
