Covers theory and background of local buckling, presenting simple design calculations which address this intriguing phenomenon. Attempts to master the process of buckling are described, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented as well. The final section of the book presents easy-to-follow design examples which conform to the latest Eurocode. Intended to introduce senior students in Bridge and Structural Engineering to the phenomenon of buckling, with special focus on thin-walled plated bridge girders. Suitable as a course instruction guide for its highly visual and descriptive style. Moreovere a good reference on buckling for practising and consulting engineers.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The book is really a master piece from the pedagogical point of view. ... [It] will be surely a very useful tool for students and also for practicing engineers. ... warmly recommended to all people who design steel structures of any kind." Prof. Ing. Ivan Balaz, PhD., in Zavaranie - Svarovani, 4/2009
