Fragiadakis's Books

This book provides an insight in advanced methods and concepts for structural analysis and design against seismic loading. The book consists of 25 chapters dealing with a wide range of timely issues in contemporary Earthquake Engineering. In brief, the topics covered are: collapse assessment, record selection, effect of soil conditions, problems in seismic design, protection of monuments, earth dam structures and liquid containers, numerical methods, lifetime assessment, post-earthquake measures. A common ground of understanding is provided between the communities of Earth Sciences and Computational Mechanics towards mitigating seismic risk. The topic is of great social and scientific interest, due to the large number of scientists and practicing engineers currently working in the field and due to the great social and economic consequences of earthquakes.

Urban Water Distribution Networks: Assessing Systems Vulnerabilities and Risks provides a methodology for a system-wide assessment of water distribution networks (WDN) based on component analysis, network topology and, most importantly, the effects of a network's past performance on its seismic and/or non-seismic reliability. Water distribution networks engineers and system designers face multiple operational issues in delivering safe and clean potable water to their customers. - Includes vulnerability assessment methods for water distribution pipes - Discusses topological aspects and their effects on network vulnerability - Explores analytical and numerical modeling methods for finding and analyzing systems vulnerabilities in water distribution networks - Features real world case studies of networks under continuous and intermittent water supply operations

This book provides an insight on advanced methods and concepts for the design and analysis of structures against earthquake loading. This second volume is a collection of 28 chapters written by leading experts in the field of structural analysis and earthquake engineering. Emphasis is given on current state-of-the-art methods and concepts in computing methods and their application in engineering practice. The book content is suitable for both practicing engineers and academics, covering a wide variety of topics in an effort to assist the timely dissemination of research findings for the mitigation of seismic risk. Due to the devastating socioeconomic consequences of seismic events, the topic is of great scientific interest and is expected to be of valuable help to scientists and engineers. The chapters of this volume are extended versions of selected papers presented at the COMPDYN 2011 conference, held in the island of Corfu, Greece, under the auspices of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS).

Presents listening and speaking exercises at an advanced level for ESL students.

All Clear! Intro, designed for high beginning students, is the first in this best-selling series of conversationally-oriented texts. High frequency expressions such as "hold on a minute" and "wake up" are presented in meaningful contexts to develop speaking, listening, vocabulary building and pronunciation skills.

All Clear teaches students to recognize and produce the high-frequency idioms, phrases, and contemporary expressions needed in a range of conversational situations. Each lesson focuses initially on chunks of language in the form of idioms and other expressions (collocations) and then provides many structured and communicative activities for speaking, listening, grammar, writing, pronunciation, and public speaking practice.

Grammar Step by Step presents bite-sized chunks of grammar in two-page lessons that build from engaging listening exercises, to contextualized practice, to communicative activities and chants by Carolyn Graham.

Stresses an inductive approach to communicating effectively in English by recognizing and producing high-frequency American idioms.

Recordings provide examples of natural conversations covering a wide range of speech acts and emotions.
