 2nd, revised and expanded edition, 504 pages, Ernst & Sohn, Berlin 2020
ISBN: 978-3-433-03149-0

Brief description 

The finite element method (FEM) is now a standard technique for the analysis of structural systems. This book covers its practical application to truss structures and the analysis of cross-sections. Furthermore, the 2nd edition deals in detail with the topics of plate buckling and calculations based on plasticity theory. Taking the Eurocode into account, this book is aimed at both practising civil engineers and students alike.

Description
This book presents the design of steel structures using finite element methods (FEM). Following a brief introduction to the fundamentals of design, the book illustrates the FEM with a focus on internal forces, displacements, critical loads and modal shapes. Alongside finite element procedures for linear calculations considering the stress states of normal force, biaxial bending and warping torsion, significant attention is given to non-linear calculations and the stability cases of flexural buckling, lateral torsional buckling and plate buckling. In addition, important fundamental issues are covered, such as the determination of cross-section properties as well as the elastic and plastic cross-section resistance. Complementary finite element methods for cross-sections are also discussed, as these are set to become increasingly important in the future.

Brief description
The theory and design of the most important areas of steel construction engineering are developed from first principles and explained in a practical manner using numerous examples. The book is based on lectures delivered during the undergraduate and postgraduate stages of civil engineering studies. The content is presented partly systematically and partly through case studies. For structural engineers and structural analysts working in engineering practices, consultancy firms and testing bodies, the book contains a large number of prepared calculation methods and design proposals. This standard reference work, founded by Christian Petersen, has been revised and updated in its 5th edition by a team of renowned authors. Current developments and standards in steel construction have been incorporated where appropriate, whilst retaining the work’s distinctive style.
