'Staal-beton' behandelt in zes hoofdstukken de toepassing en de berekening van staal-beton constructies voor gebouwen volgens Eurocode 4.

• Hoofdstuk 1 geeft een algemeen overzicht van de kenmerken, de ontwerp- en uitvoeringsaspecten en de toepassingsmogelijkheden van staal-beton liggers, staalplaat-betonvloeren en staal-beton kolommen. Aan de hand van vier recente Nederlandse projecten worden de voor- en nadelen van de verschillende constructieve oplossingen besproken.

This textbook covers the introduction to this very interesting field of structural mechanics on a bachelor of science level. Theory and application are directly combined by the use of numerous examples. These will clarify all steps involved and this approach is highly appreciated by students.

Good knowledge of statics and strength of materials is a prerequisite to the use of this textbook since in the examples both topics are frequently used to strengthen the overall knowledge of students an...

Connections

This textbook covers the behaviour of connections in steel structures and the design of mechanical fasteners and welds according to EN 1993 (Eurocode 3).

• Chapter 1 is about the function of connections in a steel structure and describes the different components. It also discusses the most important aspects of design and detailing and the role of the computer in the analysis and design of a steel structure

• Chapter 2 deals with the most widely used mechanical fasteners in ste...

This textbook deals in six chapters with the application and design of composite steel and concrete structures for buildings according to Eurocode 4.

• Chapter 1 gives a general overview of the characteristics, design and construction, and applications of composite beams, floors and columns. Also the advantages and disadvantages of the different structural solutions are discussed.

• Chapters 2 to 5 provide detailed information about the design methods and assessment rules in EN 1994 for ...

The electrical power supply is about to change; future generation will increasingly take place in and near local neighborhoods with diminishing reliance on distant power plants. The existing grid is not adapted for this purpose as it is largely a remnant from the 20th century. Can the grid be transformed into an intelligent and flexible grid that is future proof? This revised edition of Electrical Power System Essentials contains not only an accessible, broad and up-to-date overview of altern...

A popular text in its first edition, Mechanics of Solids and Structures serves as a course text for the senior/graduate (fourth or fifth year) courses/modules in the mechanics of solid/advanced strength of materials, offered in aerospace, civil, engineering science, and mechanical engineering departments. Now, Mechanics of Solid and Structure, Second Edition presents the latest developments in computational methods that have revolutionized the field, while retaining all of the basic principle...

This is the first textbook in this field of increasing importance for the food and cosmetics industries. It is indispensable for future students of food technology and food chemistry as well as for engineers, technologists and technicians in the food industries. It describes the principles of food physics starting with the very basics - and focuses on the needs of practitioners without omitting important basic principles.

It will be indispensable for future students of food technology and foo...

In this book, the four authors show us the condensed experience how to design ship hull structures from a practical viewpoint. In three parts, the book presents the fundamentals, the theory and the application of structural design of hulls. The topics are treated comprehensively with an emphasis on how to achieve reliable and efficient ship structures.

The authors have in particular introduced their experiences with the rapid increase of ship sizes as well as the introduction of ship types wi...

This textbook covers the design and analysis of steel structures for buildings according to EN 1990 (Eurocode 0), EN 1991 (Eurocode 1) and EN 1993 (Eurocode 3).

• Chapter 1 describes the theory and background of EN 1990 in terms of structural safety, reliability and the design values of resistances and actions.

• Chapter 2 deals with actions and deformations described in EN 1991. The permanent loads and variable actions and in particular the imposed loads and the snow and wind actions are...
