Arthur Lessac’s Embodied Actor Training

Arthur Lessac’s Embodied Actor Training

This book situates the work of the renowned voice and movement trainer Arthur Lessac in the context of contemporary actor training as a whole. Melissa Hurt uses Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theories of embodiment to frame Lessac's approach in terms of Embodied Acting a key subject in contemporary performance. In doing so she explains how the actor can come to experience both technique and expression as a subjective whole through meditation and spatial attunement. As well as feeding this somatic approach into a wider discussion of embodiment the author provides concrete examples of how the practice can be put into effect and studied at university level. | Arthur Lessac’s Embodied Actor Training

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks such as water-retaining structures tunnel linings locks and dams. The development of hydration heat stiffness and strength also the degree of restraint and especially for high-strength concrete non-thermal effects are decisive for sensitivity to cracking. Determining thses stresses in the laboratory and in construction components has led to a clearer understanding of how they develop and how to optimize mix design temperature and curing conditions. New testing equipment has enabled the effects of all the important parameters to be qualified and more reliable models for predictiong restraint stresses to be developed. Thermal Cracking in Conrete at Early Ages contains 56 contributions by leading international specialists presented at the RILEM Symposium held in October 1994 at the Technical University of Munich. It will be valuable for construction and site engineers concrete technologists and scientists. | Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Concrete-Filled Stainless Steel Tubular Columns

Concrete-Filled Stainless Steel Tubular Columns

Concrete-filled stainless steel tubular (CFSST) columns are increasingly used in modern composite construction due to their high strength high ductility high corrosion resistance high durability and aesthetics and ease of maintenance. Thin-walled CFSST columns are characterized by the different strain-hardening behavior of stainless steel in tension and in compression local buckling of stainless steel tubes and concrete confinement. Design codes and numerical models often overestimate or underestimate the ultimate strengths of CFSST columns. This book presents accurate and efficient computational models for the nonlinear inelastic analysis and design of CFSST short and slender columns under axial load and biaxial bending. The effects of different strain-hardening characteristics of stainless steel in tension and in compression progressive local and post-local buckling of stainless steel tubes and concrete confinement are taken into account in the computational models. The numerical models simulate the axial load-strain behavior moment-curvature curves axial load-deflection responses and axial load-moment strength interaction diagrams of CFSST columns. The book describes the mathematical formulations computational procedures and model verifications for circular and rectangular CFSST short and slender columns. The behavior of CFSST columns under various loading conditions is demonstrated by numerous numerical examples. This book is written for practising structural and civil engineers academic researchers and graduate students in civil engineering who are interested in the latest computational techniques and design methods for CFSST columns. | Concrete-Filled Stainless Steel Tubular Columns

FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit

FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit

High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s mostly in the repair strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA Japan Europe and China but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites and basic design principles and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using carbon glass and other high strength fibre composites. In the case of beams the focus is on their strengthening for flexure and shear or their stiffening. The main interest with columns is the improvement of their ductility; and both strengthening and ductility improvement of un-reinforced structures are covered. Methods for evaluating the strengthened structures are presented. Step by step procedures are set out including flow charts for the various structural components and design examples and practice problems are used to illustrate. As infrastructure ages worldwide and its demolition and replacement becomes less of an option the need for repair and retrofit of existing facilities will increase. Besides its audience of design professionals this book suits graduate and advanced undergraduate students. | FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit
