2. Free-Standing Tension Structures

   From Tensegrity Systems to Cable-Strut Systems

   By Binbing Wang

   Series: Spon Research

   Architects are constantly looking for new methods to create large indoor spaces unhindered by columns and other supports. Tensile and cable-strut structures are one method of producing such spaces. They also enable the creation of different shaped spaces allowing architects more scope for...

4. Pressure Vessel Design

   Concepts and principles

   Edited by J Spence, A S Tooth

   This book derives from a 3 day intensive course on Pressure Vessel Design given regularly in the UK and around the world since 1986. It is written by experts in their field and although the main thrust of the Course has been directed to BS5500, the treatment of the material is of a general nature...

6. Computational Analysis of Randomness in Structural Mechanics

   Structures and Infrastructures Book Series, Vol. 3

   By Christian Bucher

   Series: Structures and Infrastructures

   Proper treatment of structural behavior under severe loading - such as the performance of a high-rise building during an earthquake - relies heavily on the use of probability-based analysis and decision-making tools. Proper application of these tools is significantly enhanced by a thorough...
