Publisher's Synopsis
This book covers leading-edge research in a cross-section of fields centring on engineering applications including current research data on field measurement methods for fatigue life evaluation of existing steel bridges; softened membrane model for torsion in reinforced concrete members, design of rock slopes using classification systems; structural control of cable-stayed bridges; numerical simulation of non-linear wave generation by a piston wave maker in a step-type wave flume and workmanlike desktop NC machine tools with multi-application modes.
