Persons
Raffaele Landolfo is professor of structural engineering at the University of Naples "Federico II". He is external examiner for MSc in earthquake engineering and structural steel design at the Imperial College London and he also teaches in several PhD and master courses. He is head of the Department of Constructions and Mathematical Methods in architecture at the University of Naples. He was engaged in the activities of both national working groups and European project teams dealing with the conversion from ENV to EN of the EN 1993-1-3, and he is chairing the ECCS Technical Committee TC 13 (Seismic Design).
Viorel Ungureanu is associate professor at the Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania. His research is focused on the field of steel structures and especially cold-formed thin-walled structures. He contributed to the translation of EN 1993-1-3 into Romanian and was part of the team which elaborated the Romanian National Annexes for this document. He is a member of the ECCS TC 7 (Cold Formed Thin Walled Sheet Steel in Building).

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
