This book deals with the subject of fire safety and the design of fire resistant steel structures for buildings according to Eurocode 3.

• Chapter 1 describes the objectives of fire safety based on the behaviour of a fire and discusses the measures that a designer can take to meet the fire safety requirements found in building regulations.

• Chapter 2 deals with the calculation of the fire resistance of a steel structure. The simple calculation model is suitable for tension members, beams...

Bij het ontwerpen van gebouwen heeft men voortdurend te maken met maten die zijn afgeleid van de afmetingen van het menselijk lichaam. Wij vinden deze menselijke maten of veelvouden hiervan terug in de afmetingen van onderdelen van gebouwen, zoals trappen, deuren, keukens en voorwerpen die zijn bestemd voor het gebruik door mensen.Om te voorkomen dat iedere ontwerper opnieuw deze maten zelf moeten opmeten is dit boekje. 'De menselijke maat', samengesteld. In deze uitgave worden niet alleen de...
