Book Description
Extreme Loading of Structures serves as a valuable resource for graduate studies or as a reference for practicing engineers and covers various topics, including tornado and tornado‑generated missiles, vehicular collision, vessel collision, blast, ice load, earthquake ground motion and more. While focusing mainly on extreme loadings, analytical procedures through which the effects of extreme loads on structures can be assessed are included as well. National design standards and other design specifications are referenced and used throughout the text.Features: Offers comprehensive coverage on extreme loading scenarios such as tornadoes, vehicular and vessel collisions, blasts, ice loads and earthquake ground motionsProvides analytical methods for assessing various load impacts on structures, referencing national design standards and specifications throughoutSystematically organizes specific types of extreme load into separate chapters, with detailed explanations of related design criteria and computational procedures for each
