Analysis and Software of Cylindrical Members [Hardcover]

This book provides an in-depth look at the behavior, design, and construction of offshore structures. It describes the behavior of cylindrical members and suggests appropriate software, written by the contributors, to determine everything from loading up to the ultimate load, including post-buckling and cyclic inelasticity.1. Introduction 2. Centrally and Eccentrically Compressed Columns 3. Approximate Analysis of Beam-Columns 4. Cyclic Behavior and Modeling 5. Analysis Considering Local Buckling Effects 6. Analysis Considering Dent Damage Effects 7. Analysis of Internally Grout-Repaired Damaged MembersThis book provides basic information for structural engineers in the case of cylindrical members as used in offshore structures. It describes the concept, the assumptions, and the formulation steps and outlines the solution procedures of some typical sample problems using the software developed.US? 1996 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
