This book provides methods and concepts which enable engineers to design mass and cost efficient products. Therefore, the book introduces background and motivation related to sustainability and lightweight design by looking into those aspects from a durability and quality point of view. Hence this book gives a "top-down" approach: What does an engineer has to do for providing a mass and cost efficient solution? A central part of that approach is the "stress-strength interference model" and how to deal with "stresses" (caused by operational loads) as well as with the "strength" of components (provided by material, design and manufacturing process). The basic concepts of material fatigue are introduced, but the focus of the volume is to develop an understanding of the content and sequence of engineering tasks to be performed which help to build reliable products. This book is therefore aimed specifically at students of mechanical engineering and mechatronics and at engineers in professional practice.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Peter H. Newton | Size: 17.5 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan | Year: 174 | pages: 1991 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 033355471X ISBN-13: 978-0333554715

Structural detailing consists of transforming the work of a structural engineer into working drawings for the use of the builder. The intended reader of this book is young and inexperienced and has not yet mastered bending moments and shearing forces, principal stresses and limit states, areas of steel and equivalent lengths. For this reason the book has been written for the reader with little or no prior knowledge of structural mechanics and simple explanations are given of the behaviour of structural components in service. Similarly it is assumed that the reader will have had little or no site experience and, in any case, will have little real understanding of the processes that are going on. Here, again, an attempt has been made to describe the construction process, insofar as it affects the work of the detailer. Throughout the text appropriate clauses and tables are quoted and, in part III, extracts are given, which will enable the reader to practice detailing other structures in stell, concrete and timber, following the examples given in each chapter.

Author(s)/Editor(s): The Institution of Structural Engineers | Size: 4.36 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: The Institution of Structural Engineers | Year: 2007 | pages: 56 | ISBN: 0901297461, 9780901297464

This Guide provides an overview of the available advanced methods for designing structures for fire resistance and should be read in conjunction with the previous publication Introduction to the fire safety engineering of structures, which presented a range of simple design approaches and useful background information. Structural fire design brings together the disciplines of structural engineering and fire engineering, to allow a performance-based design approach to be carried out which can allow more economic, robust, innovative and complex buildings to be constructed. In Guide to the advanced fire safety engineering of structures each stage of the advanced design process (modelling the fire, determining the heat transfer to the structure and high temperature structural analysis) is discussed, with guidance on the various approaches which can be adopted. Case studies are included to show how the methods presented within the Guide can be applied to obtain a better understanding of the structural behaviour during a fire. The advantages of adopting advanced design approaches are:

· Generally more economical designs, compared to the simple prescriptive approaches, whilst still maintaining acceptable levels of life safety.
· The construction of more innovative and complex buildings which were not possible due to the restrictive nature of the simple prescriptive rules.
· A better understanding of the actual structural behaviour of the building during a possible fire.
· The construction of more robust buildings due to the advanced design approach allowing identification, and strengthening, of any 'weak' links within the structure.
· An increase in the levels of safety offered by the simple prescriptive design approaches, by incorporating advanced structural fire design within a global fire strategy.

This Guide is aimed at the structural engineer and approving bodies. For the structural engineer, guidance is presented enabling the selection of a suitable advanced design approach, together with identifying the detailed procedures and corresponding tools, which can be used at each stage of the design. An understanding of the important characteristics and parameters, which need to be included within the chosen design approach, is also discussed. By providing guidance on a suitable framework for the design process, together with a simple design checklist, the Guide is also of benefit to approving bodies enabling the right questions to be asked, and informed decisions to be made

The ASFE’17 conference will be the next in a series (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015) of successful conferences that aim to bring together experts and specialists in design against fire from all over the world to share ideas and to acquire knowledge in the field of structural fire engineering. Practice in structural engineering increasingly accepts the benefits of performancebased approaches to the design of structures for fire resistance. This conference will focus on the application of design methods, both manual and computational, for structures to resist fire. Particularly relevant themes will be fire modelling, simulation of the heat transfer between fire and structures, and modelling of structural behaviour at elevated temperatures using numerical methods or software implementations of design codes.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Meacham, Brian J.; Stollard, Paul | Size: 2.19 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Routledge | Year: 2014 | pages: 208 | ISBN: ISBN-13: 978-0415832625 ISBN-10: 9780415832625

Fire safety is a fundamental requirement of any building, and is of concern to several professions which contribute to the construction process. Following on from the success of the previous three editions, Paul Stollard has returned to update and expand this classic introduction to the theoretical basis of fire-safety engineering and risk assessment.

Avoiding complex calculations and specifications, Fire From First Principles is written with architects, building control officers and other construction professionals without fire engineering backgrounds in mind. By tackling an overview of the factors which contribute to fire risk, and how building design can limit these, the reader will gain a fuller understanding of the science behind fire regulations, safe design, and construction solutions.

All regulations content is fully updated, and has been expanded to cover the USA and China as well as the UK. Ideal for students of architecture and construction subjects, as well as practitioners from all built environment fields learning about fire safety for the first time.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Federico M. Mazzolani, Miklós Iványi | Size: 39.4 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2002 | pages: 383 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 321183690X ISBN-13: 978-3211836903

The renovation and rehabilitation of existing constructions together with the preservation and restoration of the architectural heritage are, in fact, activities which deserve particular attention by people involved in both design and constructional process. This wide subject has been treated in the book by identifying the main aspects and analysing them from the general design criteria to the execution rules in order to completely cover the concerned field. This approach is, therefore, characterised by an unitary feature which is difficult to find in other books. In particular many practical examples collected from all over the World are analysed, compared and discussed in detail, focusing the main reasons of both the structural choice and the material selection. The authors of the 6 Chapters, as out-standing experts in their specific fields, provide high level contributions particular based on their technical and professional experience.
