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.







Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to BS 5950


Book Description

The third edition of this successful textbook is concerned specifically with the design of steel structures to the British Standard BS 5950. Thoroughly revised and updated in accordance with the latest 2000 amendment to Part 1 of the standard, it discusses all aspects of the behaviour of steel structures, and criteria used in their design. With copious worked examples, The Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to BS 5950 is an ideal course textbook for senior undergraduate students, and will also provide a useful reference source for the practising engineer.




Steel Designers' Manual


Book Description

This classic manual on structural steel design provides a major source of reference for structural engineers and fabricators working with the leading construction material. Based fully on the concepts of limit state design, the manual has been revised to take account of the 2000 revisions to BS 5950. It also looks at new developments in structural steel, environmental issues and outlines the main requirements of the Eurocode on structural steel.




Steel Designers' Manual


Book Description

In 2010 the then current European national standards for building and construction were replaced by the EN Eurocodes, a set of pan-European model building codes developed by the European Committee for Standardization. The Eurocodes are a series of 10 European Standards (EN 1990 – EN 1999) that provide a common approach for the design of buildings, other civil engineering works and construction products. The design standards embodied in these Eurocodes will be used for all European public works and are set to become the de-facto standard for the private sector in Europe, with probable adoption in many other countries. This classic manual on structural steelwork design was first published in 1955, since when it has sold many tens of thousands of copies worldwide. For the seventh edition of the Steel Designers' Manual all chapters have been comprehensively reviewed, revised to ensure they reflect current approaches and best practice, and brought in to compliance with EN 1993: Design of Steel Structures (the so-called Eurocode 3).
