Steel Plated Structures [Paperback]

This volume strives to give comprehensive information about the main aspects of the behaviour and limit states of steel plated structures. In following this objective, the volume presents a complete scientific background (profiting from the fact that the authors of the individual parts of the publication have personally been very active in the corresponding fields of research for an extended period of time), but also establishes design recommendations, procedures and formulae.The significance of the volume may be seen in its challenging current concepts of the analysis of steel plated structures, encouraging progress in the field, and thereby establishing an advanced basis for a more reliable and economical design.Scientific background, research advances and recommendations for advanced design of steel and steel-concrete composite plated structures, taking account of their ultimate load behaviour, buckling, shear lag, breathing and fatigue.Springer Book Archives
