DESIGN OF PLATED STRUCTURES

摘要

The main aim of this book is to provide practical advice to designers of plate structures on the correct and efficient application of EN 1993-1-5 design rules. In chapter 1 the purpose, scope and structure of the book are explained. In chapter 2 a rather detailed and commented overview of the EN 1993-1-5 design rules is given following the structure of the standard. Shear lag effects as well as plate buckling problems due to direct stresses, shear forces, transverse forces and interactions of these effects are covered. This chapter also includes a reduced stress method and a finite element analysis approach to plate buckling problems. A large number of design examples illustrate the proper application of individual design rules. Chapters 3 and 4 present two complete design examples of a crane runway and a box-girder bridge.
