Reliability Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Shallow Footings

The book is a M.Sc. Engineering research of Sukanta Kumer Shill. In the book, the author describes how to analyse and design a multi storey industrial building. The book also discusses the step by step procedure of shallow footings design considering standard penetration test (SPT) as geotechnical data. From the book one can find the considerations for finite element modelling (FEM) of different structural system of few industrial buildings. Furthermore, a reliability analysis of shallow footing is carried out in the book. The statistical data on the design variable such as live load, dead load, earthquake load, wind load, compressive strength of concrete, yield strength of steel, bearing capacity of soil based on SPT are properly presented in the book. The step by step method of reliability analysis of shallow footings, Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) are discussed in several articles of the book. In summary, the books argue on the reliability of Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) in designing shallow footings.... Mehr
