I I This book is intended to guide practicing structural engineers into more profitable routine designs with the AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification (LRFD) for structural steel buildings. LRFD is a method of proportioning steel structures so that no applica ble limit state is exceeded when the structure is subjected to all appro priate factored load combinations. Strength limit states are related to safety, and concern maximum load carrying capacity, Serviceability limit states are related to performance under service load conditions such as deflections. The term "resistance" includes both strength states and serviceability limit states. LRFD is a new approach to the design of structural steel for buildings. It involves explicit consideration of limit states, multiple load factors and resistance factors, and implicit probabilistic determination of relia bility. The type of factoring used by LRFD differs from the allowable stress design of Chapters A through M of the 1989 Ninth Edition of the AISC Specifications for Allowable Stress Design, where only the resistance is divided by a factor of safety to obtain an allowable stress, and from the plastic design provisions of Chapter N, where the loads are multi plied by a common load factor of 1.7 for gravity loads and 1.3 for gravity loads acting with wind or seismic loads. LRFD offers the structural engineer greater flexibility, rationality, and economy than the previous 1989 Ninth Edition of the AISC Specifications for Allowable Stress Design.

This volume strives to give complete information about the main aspect of the stability behaviour of steel structures and their members. In following this objective, the volume presents a complete scientific background (profiting from the fact that the authors of the individual parts of the publication have personally been very active in the corresponding field of research for an extended period of time now), but also establishes recommendations, procedures and formulae for practical design. The significance of the volume may be seen in its challenging current concepts of stability analysis, encouraging progress in the field and thereby establishing an advanced basis for more reliable and economical design.

The 3rd International Conference on Boundary Element Methods held in California during July 1981 constituted a forum for the presentation of the most advanced research in BEM. When comparing the Proceedings - published in this book - with those of previous meetings it is evident that rapid advances have been made in important fields. Regarding applications of BEM, this book contains several important papers dealing with time dependent and vibrations problems, fluid flow and material non-linearities. Several types of non-linearity are discussed, i.e. elastoplasticity, viscoelasticity and notension type materials. A substantial number of papers deals with stress analysis, including treatment of body forces, higher order models, crack problems, cyclic symmetry and sliding and other types of conditions. One of the papers even extended the BEM to deal with shell analysis opening a promising new area of research. Geomechanical applications are also well represented and for these problems the advantages of using BEM which can include radiation as well as material damping are obvious.
