Progressive Collapse Analysis of Concrete-filled Steel Tubular Structures looks at quantitative design, namely direct design and how catenary action plays a critical role in resisting progressive collapse. After the failure of a structural column due to abnormal loads, such as explosion, fire, or vehicle strikes, the loads acting on the damaged column tend to be redistributed through the beams connected to the damaged column. Catenary action would form in the beams and beam-column joints to resist vertical loads. The failure of beam-column joints would prevent the forming of catenary action, which would initiate local collapse and even the progressive collapse of structures.Even though a few studies had been conducted on the progressive collapse resistance of the RC and steel structures with brace members, the study on the effect of tensile steel brace on the collapse resistance of composite frame with CFST (Concrete-filled Steel Tubular Structures) columns has been rarely reported/examined.

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Analysis for Civil Engineering Applications helps civil engineers by outlining state-of-the-art tactics for quantitative decision-making to optimally select the appropriate approach when faced with operational issues, or to prioritize projects among multiple options. Authored by recognized experts in the field, the volume proves to be a balanced reference book that’s essential not just for civil engineers, but also for a wide variety of audiences in interconnected disciplines.Decision-making is a key factor to achieve success in any discipline, especially in a field which requires handling large amounts of information and is based on calculations as civil engineering. Most processes and procedures are a compendium of many different tasks and requirements of each project under development, also involving a great variety of specific factors and numerical values to be considered. Making decisions in such environments can often be an arduous endeavor, and that is why the need for analytical criteria capable of assisting with untangling complex scenarios has arisen preponderantly.

Near-Boundary Fluid Mechanics explores various intriguing aspects of the subject, with a specific focus on the near-boundary region and its significance. It delves into topics like boundary shear stress, drag reduction using polymer additives, turbulence sources, secondary currents, log-law validity, sediment transport, and more. Unlike similar books, it emphasizes the importance of the near-boundary region. This book is organized into chapters covering internal flows, external flows, loose boundary flows, and density currents. It extends Prandtl's fundamental concept to internal flows, showing how potential flow theory can describe flow without a solid boundary. The book also provides a theoretical analysis of boundary shear stress in three-dimensional flows and explores the turbulent structures in drag-reduction flows. A key feature is clarifying the role of wall-normal velocity in mass, moment, and energy transfer. Additionally, the book applies Archimedes' principle to explain pressure drag and establishes a relationship between wake volume and hydrodynamic force.
