Advances in Structural Engineering Mechanics, Volume One [Hardcover]

The book presents research papers presented by academicians, researchers, and practicing structural engineers from India and abroad in the recently held Structural Engineering Convention (SEC) 2014 at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi during 22  24 December 2014. The book is divided into three volumes and encompasses multidisciplinary areas within structural engineering, such as earthquake engineering and structural dynamics, structural mechanics, finite element methods, structural vibration control, advanced cementitious and composite materials, bridge engineering, and soil-structure interaction. Advances in Structural Engineering is a useful reference material for structural engineering fraternity including undergraduate and postgraduate students, academicians, researchers and practicing engineers.Part 1: Computational Solid/ Structural Mechanics.- Part 2: Thermal Stress Analysis.- Part 3: Mathematical, Numerical, Optimization Techniques.- Part 4: Blast/ Impact Mechanics.- Part 5: Strengthening and Retrofitting of Structures.- Part 6: Joints/ Connections and Structural Behaviour.- Part 7: Offshore Structures and Soil-Structure Interactions.

Dr. Vasant Matsagar is currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. He obtained his doctorate degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in 2005 in the area of seismic base isolation of structures. He performed post-doctoral research at the Lawrence Technological University (LTU), USA in the area of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) in bridge structures for more than three years. His current research interests include structural dynamics and vibration control; multi-hazard protection of structures from earthquake, blast, fire, and wind; finite element methods; fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) in prestressed concrete structures; and bridge engineering. He has guided students at both undergraduate and postgraduate lel�
