The fourth edition of Design of Structural Elements: Concrete, Steelwork, Masonry and Timber Designs to Eurocodes is a concise single-volume introduction to the design of structural elements in concrete, steel, timber, masonry and composites. It provides design principles and guidance in line with Eurocodes, current as of 2021. Topics include the philosophy of design, sustainable development, basic structural concepts, and material properties. After an overview of structural design, the book contains self-contained chapters with numerous diagrams and worked examples on design in reinforced concrete, structural steelwork and steel/concrete composites, masonry and timber based on EN 1990-1997. Selected extracts from these publications assist familiarity. Elements considered cover reinforced concrete and composite floors, isolated foundation, cantilever retaining wall, load-bearing and panel walls, stud wall and connections. The text is ideal for student civil and structural engineers on degree and diploma courses, and also practising civil and structural engineers and other built environment professions. The online Support Materials for adopting course instructors includes an extensive set of solutions to the problems in the book and PowerPoint slides for use in lectures: www.routledge.com/9781032076317.
It includes a detailed section on structural analysis. The scope of this text is wide, and its numerous examples, problems and easy-to-follow diagrams make it an ideal course text.
Plenty of worked examples are included. Comprised of five chapters, this book begins with an overview of interrelated matters with which the structural engineer is concerned in the design of a building or similar structure.
It is the combination into one book of section sizing methods in each of these materials that makes this text so useful....Students will find this an essential support text to the Codes of Practice in their study of element sizing'.
This classic text provides the theory of structures and design methods of structural members using elementary mathematics. The new edition has been brought up to date with British Standards, and the examples have also been updated.
Trevor Draycott and Peter Bullman cover the behaviour and practical design of the main building elements - timber, concrete, masonry and steelwork.
Table 5.6 Combination of bmin and a for R60 fire resistance: bmin = 200 mm and a = 12* mm (*Normally EN 1992-1-1 controls) bactual = 300 mm and link diameter φ s,link = 10 mm aactual + φs /2 + φs,link ) = (45 + 32/2 + 10) = 66,0 mm > 12 ...
Appendices included at the end of each chapter contain numerous tables and graphs, based on material contained in industry publications, but reorganized and formatted especially for this text to improve clarity and simplicity, without ...
The second edition of this popular textbook provides, in a single volume, an introduction to the design of structural elements in concrete, steel, timber and masonry.
Covering common problems, likely failures and their remedies, this is an essential on-site guide to the behaviour of a building’s structure.
From concept to assembly, Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures provides civil and structural engineers with the concepts and procedures needed to build accurate numerical models without using expensive laboratory testing ...
