Ramez B. Gayed is a Civil Engineering Consultant and Adjunct Professor in the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Calgary. He is consultant on analysis and design of concrete bridge decks and floors and steel structures for material handling and mining facilities. He worked extensively in developing structural design guides of ACI Committee 421 on design of floors in buildings resistant to static and dynamic forces induced by earthquakes.
Amin Ghali is Emeritus Professor in the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Calgary. He is inventor of eight patents for systems of mechanically-anchored reinforcement for structural concrete. He authored fifteen books and editions on structural analysis and design. He published about 300 refereed journal papers. As structural consultant, his work included major bridges and offshore tank-platforms.
‘It is difficult to find a book on structural analysis that covers all the specialty topics. Indeed, this is an encyclopedia which is useful not only for structural analysis but also for structural design and research. It is of paramount importance to practicing professional engineers and academic researchers in structural engineering.’Dr Jassim Hassan, Concordia University, Canada‘To secure 100 years of service life for bridges nowadays, many requirements such as sustainability, resilience and innovative design must be satisfied. This new edition is a significant improvement over the previous one, as it includes advanced knowledge and topics. It is an essential reference book for anyone concerned with structures.’Prof. Makoto Kawakami, Akita University, Japan
