Retrofitting Design of Building Structures
Retrofitting Design of Building Structures by Xilin Lu, published by Taylor & Francis Group in 2017, is a comprehensive resource that addresses the critical aspects of retrofitting building structures. This edition, consisting of 176 pages, delves into maintenance, rehabilitation, and strengthening practices essential for urban construction and management. The book draws on the contributors’ hands-on experience to cover structural retrofitting practices, the fundamental principles of structural analysis and design, and the innovative use of structural codes for assessment and retrofitting.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of the retrofitting process, including inspection methods for structural materials and damages, as well as design methods and construction requirements for various structural systems. The book emphasizes both conceptual and constructional design, ensuring that retrofitting efforts are grounded in thorough structural analysis and practical construction measures. This resource is suitable for experienced professionals, educators, and students interested in the fields of construction, civil engineering, and structural technology.
Official synopsis Publisher
Retrofitting of building structures, including maintenance, rehabilitation, and strengthening, is not only an important issue in urban construction and management, but also a frequent problem to structural engineers in property management disciplines. Based on the contributors’ hands-on experience, Retrofitting Design of Building Structures covers structural retrofitting practices, the basic principles of structural analysis and design, and various innovatively-used structural codes for the design, assessment, and retrofitting of building structures using newly-developed technologies worldwide.
Beginning with the procedure of structural retrofitting, this book gradually introduces the significance of structural retrofitting; the inspection methods for structural materials, structural deformation, and damages; retrofitting design methods and construction requirements of various structural systems; and practical examples of structural retrofitting design and construction. In the introduction of various examples, it emphasizes not only conceptual design, but also constructional procedure design, so that a structural retrofitting design work should be completed by both structural analysis and detailed constructional measures. The book provides a complete resource for experienced professionals as well as teachers and students.
