Number of Pages ISBN This enlightening textbook for undergraduates on civil engineering degree courses explains structural design from its mechanical principles, showing the speed and simplicity of effective design from first principles.
This text presents good approximate solutions to complex design problems, such as "Wembley-Arch" type structures, the design of thin-walled structures, and long-span box girder bridges.
Other more code-based textbooks concentrate on relatively simple member design, and avoid some of the most interesting design problems because code compliant solutions are complex. Yet these problems can be addressed by relatively manageable techniques.
The methods outlined here enable quick, early stage, "ball-park" design solutions to be considered, and are also useful for checking finite element analysis solutions to complex problems. The conventions used in the book are in accordance with the Eurocodes, especially where they provide convenient solutions that can be easily understood by students. Many of the topics, such as composite beam design, are straight applications of Eurocodes, but with the underlying theory fully explained.
The techniques are illustrated through a series of worked examples which develop in complexity, with the more advanced questions forming extended exam type questions. A comprehensive range of fully worked tutorial questions are provided at the end of each section for students to practice in preparation for closed book exams.
Laterally restrained and unrestrained steel beams. Ultimate limit state ULS design: The structure must be strong enough to support loads increased using partial safety factors. Unlike SLS design, the engineer can utilize the full plastic design strength if a material is ductile.
For example, the plastic design is allowed for some steel members, whereas brittle materials, such as wood, must be designed using elastic principles.. Author : Engineeringbooks. Related Posts. Next « Prev Post. Previous Next Post ».
