Modern structural analysis: Modelling process and guidance by Iain A. MacLeod 7

Modern structural analysis: Modelling process and guidance by Iain A. MacLeod

This interesting Modern structural analysis book promotes a new way of looking at structural analysis. Itsuggests that the ability to work with the model (as distinct from the solutionprocess) is a primary issue which should be formally addressed in practice andin education. The content is focused on modelling issues and I know of no othertext

2020 Structures Strengthened with Bonded Composites by Zhishen Wu, Yufei Wu, Mohamed F.M. Fahmy

Strengthening or stiffening of civil infrastructure using externally bonded fiberreinforcedpolymer (FRP) composites such as FRP plates, sheets, and grids hasbecome a promising structural strengthening technique. It has also gained muchpopularity recently, particularly in rehabilitation of structures/infrastructures due tothe worldwide deterioration problems and earthquake hazards. Their high strengthto-weight ratio, durability in adverse environments, and high fatigue
