Beam-Column Sections Are Discussed with Reference to Yielding and Hysteric Models inside New Book Advanced Analysis and Design of Steel Frames.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c54141) has announced the addition of Advanced Analysis and Design of Steel Frames to their offering

The book begins with an introductory chapter to provide you with background knowledge of the different types of steel frames. The following chapter introduces the elastic stiffness equation for beam element, both general and special form is explained, before providing you with application examples of the equation. Next, Beam-column sections are discussed with reference to yielding and hysteric hys·ter·ic

About the Author:

Professor Li received his PhD in Structural Engineering at Tongji University in 1988. That same year he started working at the University as a lecturer in Structural Engineering, and over the next six years he worked his way up to Associate Professor, and then Professor in 1994. His research interests lie mainly in the behavior and design of multi-storey steel buildings, the fire-resistance of steel structures and the dynamic identification of structures. He is an active member on the Editorial board of five International journals covering areas of research in steel and composite structures, structural engineering and materials, computational structural engineering, and advanced steel construction. He is the author of four books Four Books
