Book excerpt: The Indians called him "Wind-That-Gallops, a gust of wind that wears a horse's skin." Mustangers called him "Wild Shadow" for the way he followed them stealthily, learning all their tricks. To young Rube Tucker, he was the prize of a lifetime, perhaps the last Spanish-Arabian still running wild in the Old West. Prepare to be swept away by this romantic, hard-action adventure about the glory days of professional mustanging in the American West. Millions thrilled to the Boy's LIfe short story, then to the Putnam novel and then the Dell paperback-all many years apart-but this is the author's version, the whole story, restored and revised for a new audience and it is 23% longer. Galloping Wind keeps circling back, generation after generation, because it truly earns its spurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slender structures, such as towers, masis, high-rise buildings and bridges, are especially prone to wind excited vibrations. The lectures show how the susceptibility of a structure to wind excited vibrations can be assessed in early stages of design and what measures are effective for control or avoidance of vibrations. The book will be a help for all dealing with dynamic response of structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides structural engineers with the knowledge and practical tools needed to perform structural designs for wind that incorporate major technological, conceptual, analytical and computational advances achieved in the last two decades. With clear explanations and documentation of the concepts, methods, algorithms, and software available for accounting for wind loads in structural design, it also describes the wind engineer's contributions in sufficient detail that they can be effectively scrutinized by the structural engineer in charge of the design. Wind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th Edition is organized in four sections. The first covers atmospheric flows, extreme wind speeds, and bluff body aerodynamics. The second examines the design of buildings, and includes chapters on aerodynamic loads; dynamic and effective wind-induced loads; wind effects with specified MRIs; low-rise buildings; tall buildings; and more. The third part is devoted to aeroelastic effects, and covers both fundamentals and applications. The last part considers other structures and special topics such as trussed frameworks; offshore structures; and tornado effects. Offering readers the knowledge and practical tools needed to develop structural designs for wind loadings, this book: Points out significant limitations in the design of buildings based on such techniques as the high-frequency force balance Discusses powerful algorithms, tools, and software needed for the effective design for wind, and provides numerous examples of application Discusses techniques applicable to structures other than buildings, including stacks and suspended-span bridges Features several appendices on Elements of Probability and Statistics; Peaks-over-Threshold Poisson-Process Procedure for Estimating Peaks; estimates of the WTC Towers’ Response to Wind and their shortcomings; and more Wind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th Edition is an excellent text for structural engineers, wind engineers, and structural engineering students and faculty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will provide comprehensive, practical knowledge for the design of reinforced concrete buildings. The approach will be unique as it will focus primarily on the design of various structures and structural elements as done in design offices with an emphasis on compliance with the relevant codes. It will give an overview of the integrated design of buildings and explain the design of various elements such as slabs, beams, columns, walls, and footings. It will be written in easy-to-use format and refer to all the latest relevant American codes of practice (IBC and ASCE) at every stage. The book will compel users to think critically to enhance their intuitive design capabilities.
