Evaluation of Global Bearing Capacities of Structures

Download or read book Evaluation of Global Bearing Capacities of Structures written by G. Sacchi Landriani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A synthetic presentation of the theory of yield design is illustrated by examples such as the stability analysis of reinforced soil structures and the resistance of long fiber reinforced composite materials. The classical limit analysis theory when standard elastic perfectly plastic behaviour can be assumed yields a more precise assessment of the global bearing capacities of structures and makes optimal limit design possible. Structural optimal design is also studied with respect to eigenvalues as well as Structural Topology and Design Optimization.
