This book deals with the subject of fire safety and the design of fire resistant steel structures for buildings according to Eurocode 3.

• Chapter 1 describes the objectives of fire safety based on the behaviour of a fire and discusses the measures that a designer can take to meet the fire safety requirements found in building regulations.

• Chapter 2 deals with the calculation of the fire resistance of a steel structure. The simple calculation model is suitable for tension members, beams...

Dit boek behandelt het berekenen van de stabiliteit van staven in staalconstructies belast op druk, op buiging en op de combinatie van druk en buiging volgens Eurocode 3.

• Hoofdstuk 1 behandelt de theorie en achtergronden van de stabiliteit van een centrisch op druk belaste staaf met aandacht voor de Eulerse knikkracht, knikkromme en knikfactor. Vervolgens komen de instabiliteitsvormen (knik, torsie en torsieknik) aan de orde en wordt het begrip kniklengte besproken voor staven en raamwerken.

• Hoofdstuk 2 behandelt de theorie en achtergronden van de stabiliteit van een op buiging belaste staaf met aandacht voor de verschillende randvoorwaarden en belastingcondities. Daarna wordt het Eulerse kipmoment besproken en de theorie toegelicht met een aantal rekenvoorbeeld...
