Behaviour and Design of Steel Plated Structures
This book is the outcome of eleven years of continuous effort (1974-1985). Late in 1973, some members of Technical Committee 8 (Stability) of the ECCS (at that time chaired by Dr. D. SFINTTSCO), decided to create a Technical Working Group called PLATE BUCKLING, in order to promote knowledge in the field of steel plated structures as used 1n structural engineering. One main original aim was the development of research work in the general field of stiffened and unstiffened plate elements, enabling the preparation of a set of European Design Recommendations covering problems in plate and box girders. The language used in all documents and discussions had to be exclusively English, for obvious reasons of economy. The basic format adopted was. that of limit states. This decision was greatly influenced by the four big accidents which had occured, between 1969 and 1971, to box girder bridges in the process of erection and by all the subsequent enquiries and studies.
