Features: This book is primarily example-based and is suitable for undergraduate students, technicians, and researchers in civil engineering. ANSYS 8.0 is the latest version of the large-scale general-purpose finite element software developed by the American ANSYS company. This software is the only computer-aided engineering (CAE) design and analysis software for FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis to date that has been ISO 9001 quality-certified. The ANSYS 8.0 software is a large-scale general-purpose finite element analysis tool that integrates structural, thermodynamic, fluid, electromagnetic, and acoustic analyses, and is widely used in scientific and technological research in fields such as nuclear industry, rail and road transportation, petrochemical industry, aerospace, machinery manufacturing, energy, automotive, electronics and home appliances, national defense and military industry, shipbuilding, biomedical engineering, light industry, geological and mineral resources, water conservancy and hydropower, as well as civil engineering. This book mainly introduces the application of ANSYS 8.0 in civil engineering, including dam engineering, tunnel and underground engineering, bridge structure engineering, building construction engineering, slope engineering, and foundation engineering. It focuses on the mechanical behavior of various types of engineering structures and the finite element analysis process of their mechanical behavior during construction and use, including 2D and 3D analysis.
