PREFACE
The cross-sections and their properties are a basic component in almost
all aspects of analysis and design of structures. In fact, the primary objec-
tive of an efficient design process is to proportion the cross-sections of
structural elements to resist the applied load effects and actions. Also, the
preliminary dimensions and properties of cross-sections are required to
start the modeling and analysis process for the structural system, to pre-
pare initial cost estimates and even to refine the basic space planning and
utilization schemes. It is the key role cross-sections play in overall struc-
tural behavior, analysis, and design, which motivated authors to write a
book focusing on their basic understanding and behavior, with an empha-
sis on computer applications.
The main objective of this book is to provide a consolidated and con-
sistent information, insight and explanation of various aspects of cross-
section behavior and design, irrespective of, but with due consideration
to different materials. It discusses theoretical formulations, practical analy-
sis, design computations, and computer applications for determination of
cross-sectional response. The main areas of focus and distribution of chap-
ters is as follows:
1. The overall view of cross-section behavior with respect to various
aspect of structural mechanics and computing is covered in the
Chapter 1, Structures and Structural Design. It discusses the basic con-
cepts and procedures for structural analysis and design, including a dis-
cussion of the development of structural design philosophy and
progression of design approaches, terminating with a discussion of
performance-based design. The chapter also discusses the basic con-
cepts of stiffness, nonlinearity of relationships between deformations
and corresponding actions, etc., and lays the foundation for the
remaining chapters in the book.
2. The meaning and computation of cross-section properties, from A(cid:1)Z
(areatoplasticsectionmodulus)arecoveredinChapter2,Understanding
Cross-Sections. It provides the basis for the study and understanding
of the structural cross-sections. The anatomy and hierarchy of the cross-
section shapes, types, and the materials they are made up, is extensively
covered. Several methods for defining the cross-sections, including
parametric and general procedures are discussed. The main focus is on
computing the geometric properties of various section shapes, using
xiii
xiv Preface
closed-form solutions as well as more general polygon and mesh-based
procedures are discussed. In addition to the formulae to compute the
properties, a discussion on the significance of various properties helps to
improve the cross-section behavior computer-based methods and several
solved examples are included followed by problem for readers to try and
explore.Thechapter makesuseofextensiveillustrationsanddiagrams.
3. The meaning and calculation of stress-resultants using a unified and
integratedapproacharecoveredinChapter3,Axial-FlexuralResponse
of Cross-Sections. This treatment of cross-sectional behavior is unique
and not covered in most of the books on this subject. A set of general
equation as well as computation procedure is presented to determine
the capacity interaction surface of generalized cross-section made up of
anynumberandconfigurationofmaterials.Severalsolvedexamplesare
presented, together with flow charts to demonstrate the code-based
proceduresfordesignofbeam-columnsections.
4. The shear and torsion stress distribution and design calculations for rein-
forced concrete sections are covered in Chapter 4, Response and Design
for Shear and Torsion. Several detailed flow charts are included to dem-
onstrate the procedures used in ACI, BS, and Euro codes for design of
cross-sectionsubjectedtoshearandtorsion,followedbysolvedexamples.
5. Thedesignofcolumncross-sections,slendernesseffects,buckling,andrel-
evant behavioral aspects of columns are covered in Chapter 5, Response
andDesignofColumnCross-Sections.Italsodiscussestheroleofbound-
ary conditions on slenderness and provides guidelines about when and
howsecond-ordereffectscanbeconsideredindesignprocessforcolumns.

and BS codes and various practical design considerations and guidelines
forproportioninganddetailingofRCcolumnsarealsoincluded.
6. The ductility considerations, confinement of reinforced concrete
sections, and related issues for cross-section analysis and design
are covered in Chapter 6, Ductility of Cross-Sections. The definition
and development of action-deformation curves especially
moment(cid:1)curvature ðM2φÞ curve is discussed extensively. The pro-
cedure to generate the moment(cid:1)curvature curve, using the general
formulation of axial(cid:1)flexural response developed in Chapter 3, is
demonstrated. Various factors such as confinement, rebar distribution
and axial load effect on the ductility are also shown through examples.
7. Thereviewofvarioustechniquesandtechnologiestoretrofitthecross-
sections are covered in Chapter 7, Retrofitting of Cross-Sections. The
Preface xv
methods to calculate the capacity of retrofitted cross-sections using the
formulations presented in Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Chapter 4, are
presented. Evaluation of sections subjected to high temperatures is also
discussedindetail.
8. The discussion about various latest software and applications for
computer-aided analysis of cross-sections are covered in Chapter 8,
Software Development and Application for the Analysis of Cross-
Sections. A brief introduction of CSiCOL (a comprehensive software
package for the analysis and design of reinforced and composite col-
umn sections) is also included. This chapter also introduces various
new ideas and scopes related to development of mobile applications
for structural analysis on both Android and iOS platforms. Various
applications of cloud computing and component-based software
engineering in analysis and design of structures, are also introduced.
