Evaluation of Global Bearing Capacities of Structures (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences)

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.Landriani, G.S. is the author of 'Evaluation of Global Bearing Capacities of Structures (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences)', published 1993 under ISBN 9783211824931 and ISBN 3211824936.
