Its content will be useful to researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
This book proposes a novel, original condensation method to beam formulation based on the isogeometric approach to reducing the degrees of freedom to conventional two-node beam elements. In this volume, the author defines the Buntara Condensation Formulation: a unique formulation in condensing the dynamic equilibrium equation for beam structures, suitable for reducing the number of unlimited dynamic equations necessary to yield a classic two-node beam element. Professor Buntara’s method overcomes the problem of the isogeometric approach where the number of degrees of freedom is increased along with the complexity of the geometrical beam element and facilitates implementation of the codes into the existing beam structures programs, and CAD geometrical data into the conventional FE beam element codes. The book proposes a new reduction method where the beam element can be treated as under the conventional beam element theory that has only two nodes at both ends.

This book compiles papers presented during the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering Structures and Construction Materials (SCESCM) held virtually in December 2020. This is the fifth edition of this conference series; the theme for the 5th SCESCM is “Transforming the World, Foster the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” and it focuses on various issues, novel findings, as well as developments in the area of civil and infrastructure, conforming to the SDGs. This book caters to postgraduate students, researchers, and practitioners involved in advocating and embedding sustainability in various phases of design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures and infrastructure facilities.
This book provides an in-depth, numerical investigation of tensegrity systems from a structural point of view, using the laws of fundamental mechanics for general pin-jointed systems with self-stressed mechanisms. Tensegrity structures have been known for decades, mostly as an art of form for monuments in architectural design. In Computational Modeling of Tensegrity Structures, Professor Buntara examines these formations, integrating perspectives from mechanics, robotics, and biology, emphasizing investigation of tensegrity structures for both inherent behaviors and their apparent ubiquity in nature. The author offers numerous examples and illustrative applications presented in detail and with relevant MATLAB codes. Combining a chapter on the analyses of tensegrity structures along with sections on computational modeling, design, and the latest applications of tensegrity structures, the book is ideal for R&D engineers and students working in a broad range of disciplines interested in structural design.
Condensed Isogeometric Analysis for Plates and Shell Structures proposes a novel technique for plate and shell governing equations based on isogeometric analysis, which condenses the dynamic equilibrium equation for plate and shell structures—suitable for reducing the computation cost of large degrees of freedom due to the adoption of Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline (NURBS) models in the plate and shell element formulations. It features useful guidance for understanding the isogeometric approach and includes accompanying MATLAB® source code in each chapter to deepen readers' understanding of the fundamental theories and methods of civil, architectural, and mechanical engineering. Features: Adopts a progressive and rigorous presentation of relevant topics to facilitate use by students, academics, and professionals Seamlessly integrates the CAD geometrical data into the conventional FE plate and shell classical element codes Allows computation of analytical solutions of plate and shell theories based on a newly-introduced condensation method, not approximation theory Includes relevant MATLAB® codes

"Buku ini akan membantu Anda mencari pelaksana yang profesional. Anda akan mempunyai pembimbing praktis untuk memilih dan menilai kontraktor yang baik." - H. Ganjar Pranowo, SH, MIP (Gubernur Provinsi Jawa Tengah). "Buku ini menonjol dan berbeda dengan buku-buku lain dalam temanya, karena sangat komprehensif, menarik, dan lengkap. Terlebih buku ini mengisi ke-vakum-an intelektual dalam bidang pelaksanaan. Literatur dan karya berupa tulisan berbobot, yang tersedia bagi para praktisi maupun para sarjana baru sebagai referensi dalam bidang ini, sangat terbatas. Kelengkapan dan penyajian runtut serta mudah dipahami, membuat buku ini akan sangat digemari dan sangat membantu para pembaca menyerap ilmu dan wacana yang ingin disampaikan penulis melalui media buku ini. Semoga buku ini juga menjadi inspirasi bagi para pakar, ilmuwan dan pendidik untuk semakin berkarya dalam bidang penulisan buku. Buku adalah media terpenting untuk mentransfer keilmuan dan pengetahuan." - Prof. Dr. Ir. Han Ay Lie, M.Eng, Professor in Civil Engineering, Diponegoro University, Semarang.
Dewasa ini, pemanfaatan beton sebagai bahan bangunan semakin masif digunakan. Selain karena keterjangkuan harganya, perawatan beton pun dirasa tidak merepotkan. Untuk alasan inilah, penulis telah menyusun buku literatur beton dengan judul Dasar-dasar Beton Bertulang, berdasarkan SNI Beton Terbaru (SNI 2847:2013) dilengkapi contoh soal dan aplikasinya. Secara umum buku ini membahas tentang perencanaan lentur komponen beton bertulang, seperti balok dan plat. Semoga kehadiran buku ini dapat bermanfaat bagi para perekayasa, khususnya dalam praktik perencanaan maupun pelaksanaan di lapangan. Selamat membaca.
