Design of Steel Structures


Book Description

This book introduces the fundamental design concepts of Eurocode 3 for steel structures in building construction, and their practical application. Following a discussion of the basis of design, above all the principles of 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 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 practicing engineers. To that end, numerous worked examples are provided throughout the book, concerning the analysis of steel structures and the design of elements under several types of actions. These examples facilitate the application of Eurocode regulations in practice. The second edition contains more worked examples and extended explications on issues like torsion.







Design of Steel Structures


Book Description

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.

Design of Steel Structures


Book Description

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.

Designers' Guide to EN 1993-1-1


Book Description

&Quot;After some 25 years in preparation the key parts of EN 1993-1-1 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures General rules and rules for buildings have now been finalised. Eurocode 3 covers many forms of steel construction and provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date set of design guidance currently available.". "Throughout, this book concentrates on the most commonly encountered aspects of structural steel design, with an emphasis on the situation in buildings. Much of its content is therefore devoted to the provisions of the Part 1.1: General rules and rules for buildings of EN 1993. This is, however, supplemented by material on loading, joints and cold-formed design. For each of the principal aspects covered, the book provides background to the structural behaviour, explanation of the codified treatment including departure from existing practice (BS 5950), and numerous worked examples. This Guide should serve as the primary point of reference for designing steel structures to Eurocode 3."--BOOK JACKET.
