Design Analysis Of Beams Circular Plates And Cylindrical Tanks On Elastic Foundations

Download or read book Design Analysis of Beams, Circular Plates and Cylindrical Tanks on Elastic Foundations written by Edmund S. Melerski and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extended and revised second edition elaborates on techniques for the numerical analysis of beams, long strips, circular plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and on unyielding or elastic supports. Emphasis is placed on the simplicity of analysis, while maintaining the accuracy of results, and a large number of examples are included as illustration. Easy-to-use, fully-revised software is included which runs smoothly under current Windows operating systems. The applicability of the software is extended to analysis of laterally-loaded piles and bending analysis of retaining walls. A bonus suite of complementary software containing programmes for elastic-plastic soil-structure interaction analyses of beams or strips, laterally-loaded piles or sheet-piles, and long retaining walls is also included. This package of numerical techniques and software provides a powerful tool which renders design analysis of structures easy and time-efficient. Practising engineers will find this title invaluable, while postgraduate students and researchers working in soil-structure interaction will also find the book-software package very useful.
