Stahlbau

Central topics of the book are the stability of steel structures, the determination of stresses according to theory II. Order, and the verification of sufficient load-bearing capacity. The actual load-bearing behavior is explained, and the theoretical principles are derived. Expedient verification methods are recommended, and the required calculations are illustrated with examples.

The contents of the book are organized as follows:

• Introduction and overview
• Load-bearing behavior, calculation, and verification methods
• Verification of bending buckling with reduction factors
• Stability problem of bending buckling
• Verification of torsional flexural buckling with reduction factors
• Stability problem of torsional flexural buckling
• Theory II. Order with equivalent imperfections
• Theory II. Order for bending with normal force
• II. Order for arbitrary stresses
• Stiffening and stabilization
• Flow zone theory: calculations, bearing behavior, verifications
• Stability problem: plate buckling and buckling checks

The book contains numerous calculation examples with ultimate limit state checks according to DIN EN 1993-1-1 and DIN EN 1993-1-5.
