Download or read book The Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to EC3 written by N.S. Trahair and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fully revised fourth edition of this successful textbook fills a void which will arise when British designers start using the European steel code EC3 instead of the current steel code BS5950. The principal feature of the forth edition is the discussion of the behaviour of steel structures and the criteria used in design according to the British version of EC3. Thus it serves to bridge the gap which too often occurs when attention is concentrated on methods of analysis and the sizing of structural components. Because emphasis is placed on the development of an understanding of behaviour, many analytical details are either omitted in favour of more descriptive explanations, or are relegated to appendices. The many worked examples both illustrate the behaviour of steel structures and exemplify details of the design process. The Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to EC3 is a key text for senior undergraduate and graduate students, and an essential reference tool for practising structural engineers in the UK and other countries.

Download or read book Design Procedures for the Use of Composites in Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures written by Carlo Pellegrino and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the current knowledge on structural behaviour of RC elements and structures strengthened with composite materials (experimental, analytical and numerical approaches for EBR and NSM), particularly in relation to the above topics, and the comparison of the predictions of the current available codes/recommendations/guidelines with selected experimental results. The book shows possible critical issues (discrepancies, lacunae, relevant parameters, test procedures, etc.) related to current code predictions or to evaluate their reliability, in order to develop more uniform methods and basic rules for design and control of FRP strengthened RC structures. General problems/critical issues are clarified on the basis of the actual experiences, detect discrepancies in existing codes, lacunae in knowledge and, concerning these identified subjects, provide proposals for improvements. The book will help to contribute to promote and consolidate a more qualified and conscious approach towards rehabilitation and strengthening existing RC structures with composites and their possible monitoring.

Book excerpt: Dieses Buch bietet eine Einführung in die grundlegenden Verfahren des Eurocode 3 zur Konstruktion von Stahlbauten und Stahlbauteilen und erleichtert so die praktische Anwendung und Umsetzung. Insbesondere wird in dieser Uk-Edition auf die Regelungen der britischen Nationalen Anhänge eingegangen. Nach einer Erläuterung der Grundlagen der Tragwerksplanung, u.a. Bemessungsverfahren von Grenzzuständen, werden Baustoffnormen und deren Anwendungsbereiche detailliert beschrieben. Statische Berechungsverfahren und -modelle werden ebenso behandelt wie Konstruktionskriterien und -verfahren für verschiedenste Tragwerksbauteile. Die weiteren Kapitel widmen sich ausführlich elastischen und plastischen Bemessungskonzepten und den zugehörigen Anwendungsbereichen, die beispielhaft anhand eines ausgesteiften Stahlrahmenbauwerks und eines Industriebaus Schritt für Schritt beschrieben werden. Dieses Handbuch vermittelt nicht nur die erforderlichen theoretischen Grundlagen, sondern eignet sich auch als Nachschlagwerk für Ingenieure. Der hohe Praxisbezug wird in den vielen konkreten Beispielen deutlich. So werden Stahlbauten statisch berechnet und Bauteile, die unter den verschiedensten Bedingungen zum Einsatz kommen, geplant. Diese Beispiele helfen beim reibungslosen Übergang früherer nationaler Regeln hin zu den harmonisierten technischen Eurocode-Standards.
Download or read book Design of Steel Structures written by Luís Simões da Silva and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the fundamental design concept of Eurocode 3 for current steel structures in building construction, and their practical application. Following a discussion of the basis of design, including the principles of reliability management and the limit state approach, the material standards and their use are detailed. The fundamentals of structural analysis and modeling are presented, followed by the design criteria and approaches for various types of structural members. The theoretical basis and checking procedures are closely tied to the Eurocode requirements. The following chapters expand on the principles and applications of elastic and plastic design, each exemplified by the step-by-step design calculation of a braced steel-framed building and an industrial building, respectively. Besides providing the necessary theoretical concepts for a good understanding, this manual intends to be a supporting tool for the use of practicing engineers. In order of this purpose, throughout the book, numerous worked examples are provided, concerning the analysis of steel structures and the design of elements under several types of actions. These examples will facilitate the acceptance of the code and provide for a smooth transition from earlier national codes to the Eurocode.

Download or read book Steel A New and Traditional Material for Building written by Dan Dubina and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-08-17 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of new, composite materials and high-strength concrete, and with an increasing demand for sustainable building technologies, the importance of the role of steel in construction is being challenged.. Nonetheless, steel can successfully be used to refurbish and retrofit historical buildings, as well as being a material of choice for new building structures. Steel can effectively be combined with a variety of other materials to obtain structures which are characterized by a high-performance response under different types of static and dynamic activity. The proceedings contains nine keynote lectures from international experts, and is further divided into five sections: calculation models and methods; studies and advances in design codes; steel and mixed building technology; steel under exceptional actions; and steel in remarkable constructions and refurbishment.
Download or read book Seismic Design of Buildings to Eurocode 8 written by Ahmed Elghazouli and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the seismic design of building structures and their foundations to Eurocode 8. It covers the principles of seismic design in a clear but brief manner and then links these concepts to the provisions of Eurocode 8. It addresses the fundamental concepts related to seismic hazard, ground motion models, basic dynamics, seismic analysis, siting considerations, structural layout, and design philosophies, then leads to the specifics of Eurocode 8. Code procedures are applied with the aid of walk-through design examples which, where possible, deal with a common case study in most chapters. As well as an update throughout, this second edition incorporates three new and topical chapters dedicated to specific seismic design aspects of timber buildings and masonry structures, as well as base-isolation and supplemental damping. There is renewed interest in the use of sustainable timber buildings, and masonry structures still represent a popular choice in many areas. Moreover, seismic isolation and supplemental damping can offer low-damage solutions which are being increasingly considered in practice. The book stems primarily from practical short courses on seismic design which have been run over a number of years and through the development Eurocode 8. The contributors to this book are either specialist academics with significant consulting experience in seismic design, or leading practitioners who are actively engaged in large projects in seismic areas. This experience has provided significant insight into important areas in which guidance is required.
