This textbook covers the collision of a moving, falling or flying object on a

rigid barrier or a structural element, and the transmission of the transient

action to the rest of the structural system. It is the only up-to-date book on

this under-researched topic that confronts engineers on a day-to-day basis.

The book deals with a range of real-life engineering problems and focuses

on the application of knowledge and skillsets from structural analysis and

structural dynamics. Fundamental principles and concepts on structural

collision are first introduced, followed by their specific applications such as

vehicular collision on bridge structures, boulder impact on rockfall barriers

and collision by hail and windborne debris. Analytical solutions provided

are in the form of closed-form expressions, which can be directly adopted in

conventional manual calculations. The use of spreadsheets to simulate the

dynamic response behaviour is also covered.

• The only standalone book covering the topic from a civil engineering

perspective

• Practical guidance on real-life engineering problems, and use of

computational and physical methods

• Conveys methodology validated experimentally

The book provides an excellent guide for practitioners and sets out

fundamental principles for graduate students in civil, structural and

mechanical engineering.
