Understanding Structural Engineering From Theory to Practice

Understanding Structural Engineering From Theory to Practice

In our world of seemingly unlimited computing numerous analytical approaches to the estimation of stress strain and displacement—including analytical numerical physical and analog techniques—have greatly advanced the practice of engineering. Combining theory and experimentation computer simulation has emerged as a third path for engineering design and performance evaluation. As a result structural engineers working in the practical world of engineering must apply and ideally thrive on these idealizations of science-based theories. Analyzing the major achievements in the field Understanding Structural Engineering demonstrates how to bring science to engineering design. This book illustrates:Key conceptual breakthroughs in structural engineering in the twentieth centuryThe science of structural engineering from basic mechanics and computing to the ultimate process of engineering designHow engineers implement theory to practice through idealizations and simplificationsCurrent and future trends in structural engineeringDevelopments and advancements in structural engineering hinge on a few key breakthroughs in concepts simplifications and idealizations. Simplification inherent in the art of structural engineering is a key theme throughout this book. But the authors go further. Their clear explanations of the role and impact of new science-based developments shows you how to put them into practice. | Understanding Structural Engineering From Theory to Practice

Concrete-Filled Stainless Steel Tubular Columns

Concrete-Filled Stainless Steel Tubular Columns

Concrete-filled stainless steel tubular (CFSST) columns are increasingly used in modern composite construction due to their high strength high ductility high corrosion resistance high durability and aesthetics and ease of maintenance. Thin-walled CFSST columns are characterized by the different strain-hardening behavior of stainless steel in tension and in compression local buckling of stainless steel tubes and concrete confinement. Design codes and numerical models often overestimate or underestimate the ultimate strengths of CFSST columns. This book presents accurate and efficient computational models for the nonlinear inelastic analysis and design of CFSST short and slender columns under axial load and biaxial bending. The effects of different strain-hardening characteristics of stainless steel in tension and in compression progressive local and post-local buckling of stainless steel tubes and concrete confinement are taken into account in the computational models. The numerical models simulate the axial load-strain behavior moment-curvature curves axial load-deflection responses and axial load-moment strength interaction diagrams of CFSST columns. The book describes the mathematical formulations computational procedures and model verifications for circular and rectangular CFSST short and slender columns. The behavior of CFSST columns under various loading conditions is demonstrated by numerous numerical examples. This book is written for practising structural and civil engineers academic researchers and graduate students in civil engineering who are interested in the latest computational techniques and design methods for CFSST columns. | Concrete-Filled Stainless Steel Tubular Columns

Experiential Marketing Consumer Behavior Customer Experience and The 7Es

Experiential Marketing Consumer Behavior Customer Experience and The 7Es

Why do some brands make us feel good while others frustrate us? What makes us engage with certain brands rebuy the same products return to the same store or revisit the same destination over and over again? Is there a framework underlying how past and lived shopping experiences can affect our future experiences our buying decisions and our brand loyalty? In this exciting new book Wided Batat introduces readers to the new customer experience framework and the era of the Experiential Marketing Mix. She introduces the concept of the 7Es (Experience Exchange Extension Emphasis Empathy Emotional touchpoints Emic/Etic process); a tool that focuses on the consumer as a starting point in marketing strategies. By using these companies can design suitable emotional and profitable customer experiences in a phygital context (physical place and digital space) including both offline and online digital experiences. Batat argues that a traditional product-centric should be replaced by the appropriate mix of 7Es based upon a more consumer/experience-centric logic. Experiential Marketing is a guide to building experiences consumers cannot forget. It will be of interest for CEOs brand managers marketing and communication professionals students and anyone eager to learn more about how to design the ultimate customer experience in a new phygital. In this book Professor Batat combines theory and practice and gives readers an overview of: the origins and the rise of the customer experience logic the 7Es of the new experiential marketing mix and the challenges for the future. | Experiential Marketing Consumer Behavior Customer Experience and The 7Es
