Reviews and describes both the fundamental and practical design
procedures for the ultimate limit state design of ductile steel plated
structures
The new edition of this well-established reference reviews and describes
both fundamentals and practical design procedures for steel plated
structures. The derivation of the basic mathematical expressions is
presented together with a thorough discussion of the assumptions and the
validity of the underlying expressions and solution methods.
Furthermore, this book is also an easily accessed design tool, which
facilitates learning by applying the concepts of the limit states for
practice using a set of computer programs, which can be downloaded.
Ultimate Limit State Design of Steel Plated Structures provides expert
guidance on mechanical model test results as well as nonlinear finite
element solutions, sophisticated design methodologies useful for
practitioners in industries or research institutions, and selected
methods for accurate and efficient analyses of nonlinear behavior of
steel plated structures both up to and after the ultimate strength is
reached.
- Covers recent advances and developments in the field
- Includes new topics on constitutive equations of steels, test database
associated with low/elevated temperature, and strain rates
- Includes a new chapter on a semi-analytical method
- Supported by a companion website with illustrative example data sheets
- Provides results for existing mechanical model tests
- Offers a thorough discussion of assumptions and the validity of
underlying expressions and solution methods
Designed as both a textbook and a handy reference, Ultimate Limit State
Design of Steel Plated Structures, Second Edition is well suited to
teachers and university students who are approaching the limit state
design technology of steel plated structures for the first time. It also
meets the needs of structural designers or researchers who are involved
in civil, marine, and mechanical engineering as well as offshore
engineering and naval architecture.
