Traduzione di S Tedeschi e C De Domenico and published by EPC srl. This book was released on 2011-04-30 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Guida agli Eurocodici per la resistenza al fuoco delle strutture si differenzia da molte altre guide disponibili in quanto non riguarda un singolo Eurocodice, dato che in queste norme le costruzioni in acciaio, in cemento armato e miste acciaio-calcestruzzo sono trattate singolarmente, e per ogni materiale esiste una parte dedicata alla resistenza al fuoco. La metodologia di progetto, riportata nelle parti dedicate al fuoco di ogni singolo Eurocodice, si basa sugli stessi principi adottati per la progettazione a temperatura ambiente. Uno degli scopi di questo libro è quello di chiarire tale approccio così che possa essere compreso pienamente e facilmente utilizzato dagli ingegneri civili e dagli specialisti che hanno familiarità con i principi e le ipotesi alla base della progettazione strutturale a temperatura ambiente. Questa Guida fornisce indicazioni sulla natura del carico, che è necessario comprendere bene prima di poter applicare i principi di progettazione delle strutture previsti negli Eurocodici. Per questa ragione questo libro è una guida a quattro documenti distinti, vale a dire la EN 1991-1.2, la EN 1992-1.2, la EN 1993-1.2 e la EN 1994-1.2, con riferimenti, ove necessario, anche alle basi della progettazione strutturale contenute nel documento EN 1990.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lo scopo principale di questa guida consiste nel fornire all'utente un supporto nell'interpretazione e nell'uso della normativa di riferimento per le azioni del vento sulle strutture - EN 1991, Eurocodice 1: Azioni sulle Strutture - Azioni Generali - Parte 1-4: Azioni del Vento. Le NTC 2008 introducono sulle azioni del vento indicazioni molto sintetiche e certo non sufficienti in molti casi (ad esempio le azioni di trascinamento per attrito o le azioni sulle insegne). La EN 1994-1-4, al contrario, è molto dettagliata e completa, tuttavia molte delle regole applicative raccomandate sono complesse, tanto che è piuttosto facile sbagliare. Questa guida, scritta da un grande esperto della materia, illustra le principali regole applicative dell'Eurocodice, identifica ed illustra possibili fonti di errore e fornisce validi ed utili consigli all'utente. I capitoli dall'1 all'8 di questa guida corrispondono alle otto sezioni della EN 1991-1-4 e la sequenza di numerazione di questi capitoli rispecchia i numeri delle sezioni della EN, mentre il Capitolo 9 corrisponde ai sei allegati. Inoltre, i numeri dei paragrafi pertinenti della EN 1991-1-4 sono riportati a margine delle corrispondenti parti di commento. La traduzione è arricchita da alcune note di comparazione con le NTC2008 e con il NAD italiano.

Book excerpt: L’Eurocodice 3 tratta molte tipologie di costruzioni in acciaio e fornisce il più completo ed aggiornato insieme di guide al progetto attualmente disponibile. Questo libro si concentra sugli aspetti più comunemente incontrati nella progettazione di strutture in acciaio, con particolare riguardo alla situazione degli edifici. La maggior parte del suo contenuto è quindi dedicata alle regole della Parte 1.1 Regole Generali e Regole per gli Edifici della EN 1993: Progetto di strutture in acciaio. Ma vi sono anche parti relative ai collegamenti (Parte 1.8), ai profili formati a freddo (Parte 1.3), ed ai carichi (EN 1990 ed EN 1991). Per ciascuno degli aspetti principali trattati, il libro fornisce approfondimenti sul comportamento strutturale e spiegazioni della norma, nonché numerosi esempi svolti. Il testo è basato sulla seconda edizione inglese di questa guida molto diffusa, che di recente è stata completamente aggiornata. Nel presente volume si è anche tenuto conto dell’Appendice Nazionale Italiana con opportuni riferimenti. Questa guida è un utile punto di riferimento per la progettazione di strutture in acciaio in accordo all’Eurocodice 3.

La Guida all'Eurocodice 2 - Progettazione delle strutture in calcestruzzo: EN 1992-1.1, 1.2 tratta le strutture gettate in opera e prefabbricate utilizzando calcestruzzo di peso specifico ordinario o alleggerito e si applica a strutture in calcestruzzo semplice, armato e precompresso. Sono state accorpate in quest'unica pubblicazione molte parti separate delle versioni ENV del codice che riguardano l'argomento, insieme a numerosi supporti progettuali quali diagrammi e comodi abachi, nonché esempi numerici svolti passo passo. Le indicazioni della norma vengono discusse e motivate, fornendo una guida utilissima per l'applicazione dell'Eurocodice ed anche, indirettamente, delle NTC 2008, che di fatto da questo derivano strettamente. A questo proposito, numerose e puntuali note del Traduttore relative al confronto con le NTC 2008, integrano il testo originario.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First book to discuss the analysis of structural steel connections by Finite Element Analysis—which provides fast, efficient, and flexible checking of these vital structural components The analysis of steel structures is complex—much more so than the analysis of similar concrete structures. There are no universally accepted rules for the analysis of connections in steel structures or the analysis of the stresses transferred from one connection to another. This book presents a general approach to steel connection analysis and check, which is the result of independent research that began more than fifteen years ago. It discusses the problems of connection analysis and describes a generally applicable methodology, based on Finite Element Analysis, for analyzing the connections in steel structures. That methodology has been implemented in software successfully, providing a fast, automatic, and flexible route to the design and analysis of the connections in steel structures. Steel Connection Analysis explains several general methods which have been researched and programmed during many years, and that can be used to tackle the problem of connection analysis in a very general way, with a limited and automated computational effort. It also covers several problems related to steel connection analysis automation. Uses Finite Element Analysis to discuss the analysis of structural steel connections Analysis is applicable to all connections in steel structures The methodology is the basis of the commercially successful CSE connection analysis software Analysis is fast and flexible Structural engineers, fabricators, software developing firms, university researchers, and advanced students of civil and structural engineering will all benefit from Steel Connection Analysis.

This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One distinct feature of human society since the dawn of civilization is the systematic use of inorganic building materials, such as natural stone, unburnt and burnt soil, adobe and brick, inorganic binders like lime and cement, and reinforced concrete. Our heritage has cultural, architectural and technological value and preserving such structures is a key issue today. Planners and conservation scientists need detailed site surveys and analyses to create a database that will serve to guide subsequent actions. One factor in this knowledge base is an understanding of how historic materials were prepared and the crucial properties that influence their long-term behaviour. Any assessment of the way such materials perform must crucially be based on an understanding of the methods used for their analysis. The editors here add to the knowledge base treating the materials used in historic structures, their properties, technology of use and conservation, and their performance in a changing environment. The book draws together 18 chapters dealing with the inorganic materials used in historic structures, such as adobe, brick, stone, mortars, concrete and plasters. The approach is complex, covering material characterisation as well as several case studies of historic structures from Europe, including Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovenia and Spain, and the My Sõn Temples in Vietnam. An equally important component of the book covers the analysis of materials, together with a treatment of sustainable development, such as the protection of monuments from earthquakes and climate change. The authors are all leading international experts, drawn from a variety of backgrounds: architecture, civil engineering, conservation science, geology and material science, with close links to professional organisations such as ICOMOS or universities and research centres throughout Europe. Audience: This book will be of interest to geologists, engineers, restorers, consulting engineers, designers and other professionals dealing with cultural heritage and sustainable development. Also graduate students in applied geo-science (mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology), architecture and civil engineering will find interesting information in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges are great symbols of mankind’s conquest of space. They are a monument to his vision and determination, but these alone are not enough. An appreciation of the mathematical theories underlying bridge design is essential to resist the physical forces of nature and gravity. The object of this book is to explain firstly the nature of the problems associated with the building of bridges with steel as the basic material, and then the theories that are available to tackle them. The book covers: a technological history of the different types of iron and steel bridges the basic properties of steel loads on bridges from either natural or traffic-induced forces the process and aims of design based on limit state and statistical probability concepts buckling behaviour of various components and large-deflection behaviour of components with initial imperfections detailed guidance on the design of plate and box girder bridges together with some design examples The Second Edition includes a completely new chapter on the history and design of cable-stayed bridges, the various types of cable used for them and their method of construction, and it addresses many of the changes introduced in the latest version of the British Standard Design Code for steel bridges, BS 5400: Part 3:2000.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the semirigidity concept was introduced many years ago, steel structures are usually designed by assuming that beam-to-column joints are either pinned or rigid. Theses assumptions allow a great simplification in structural analysis and design-but they neglect the true behavior of joints. The economic and structural benefits of semirigid joints are well known and much has been written about their use in braced frames. However, they are seldom used by designers, because most semirigid connections have highly nonlinear behavior, so that the analysis and design of frames using them is difficult. In fact, the design problem becomes more difficult as soon as the true rotational behavior of beam-to-column joints is accounted for-the design problem requires many attempts to achieve a safe and economical solution. Structural Steel Semirigid Connections provides a comprehensive source of information on the design of semirigid frames, up to the complete detailing of beam-to-column connections, and focuses on the prediction of the moment-rotation curve of connections. This is the first work that contains procedures for predicting the connection plastic rotation supply-necessary for performing the local ductility control in nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. Extensive numerical examples clarify the practical application of the theoretical background. This exhaustive reference and the awareness it provides of the influence of joint rotational behavior on the elastic and inelastic responses of structures will greatly benefit researchers, professionals, and specification writing bodies devoted to structural steel.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New developments in the response spectrum method have led to calculations in seismic stresses that are more accurate, and usually lower, than those obtained by conventional methods. This new textbook examines the wealth of information on the response spectrum method generated by the latest research and presents the background theory in simplified form. Applications of these methods is essential in the seismic design of critical structures, such as nuclear power plants and petroleum facilities. In new construction, the reduced seismic stresses will result in efficient and economic design. For facilities already built, these more accurate methods can be used where the facility is being reassessed for higher loads and in the calculation of margins. Written by an acknowledged expert in this and related fields, this volume is ideal as a graduate text for courses in structural and earthquake engineering. It is also an excellent reference for civil, structural, mechanical, and earthquake engineers.
