Overview
This state-of-the-art volume was compiled by the Institution of Structural Engineers' informal study group Model Analysis as a Design Tool and City University's Structures Research Centre. It contains a series of papers on the design and analysis of structures through full scale and numerical modelling, including the crucial areas of hazard identification and risk assessment of structures. Topics covered include:
*Loadings on structures, including accidental loading, earthquakes and fire.
*Effects of the methods of construction on response to abnormal loading.
*Development of new materials and construction techniques. *Behaviour of engineering materials.
*Inspection, monitoring, repair and rehabilitation of structures.
*Non-destructive testing for monitoring and assessment.
*Structural safety and risk analysis.
*Numerical simulation and modelling.
*Case studies of on-site testing of structures.
This book will be essential reading for civil and structural engineers,designers and researchers.

Booknews
From an April 2000 international conference in London, 34 papers present information and experience by structural engineers on designing and constructing structures such as tall buildings, bridges, power plants, and harbor and coastal installations, that are subjected to abnormal loading using physical tests and numerical modeling. They considers accidental and planned loading on structures, earthquakes and fire, the effects of the methods of construction on the structural response to abnormal loading, the development of new materials and construction techniques, and other topics.
