Amusing, irreverent, sophisticated and highly accessible, Einstein for Beginners is the perfect introduction to Einstein's life and thought. Reaching back as far as Babylon (for the origins of mathematics) and the Etruscans (who thought they could handle lightning), this book takes us through the revolutions in electrical communications and technology that made the theory of relativity possible. In the process, we meet scientific luminaries and personalities of imperial Germany, as well as Galileo, Faraday, and Newton; learn why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones, why nothing...

17 2 STRESS FIELDS FOR SIMPLE STRUCTURES 2. 1 INTRODUCTION In this chapter the behavior and strength of simple structures made of rein forced or prestressed concrete is investigated with the aid of stress fields. In particular, the webs and flanges of beams, simple walls, brackets, bracing beams and joints of frames are investigated. By this means, the majority of design cases are already covered. In reality, all structural components are three-dimensional. Here, however, components are considered either directly as two-dimensional plate elements (i. e. the plane stress condition with no...

Die Autoren haben aktuelle Ergebnisse aus der Mauerwerksforschung der Schweiz und internationale Erfahrungen und Entwicklungen bei Bemessungsverfahren und Bewehrungssystemen aufgegriffen und fur die Praxis in durchschaubare, nachvollziehbare Konzepte aufbereitet. Sie berichten uber Versuchsresultate unter verschiedenen, kombinierten Beanspruchungen und untersuchen Mauerwerksbauten, die mit Stabbewehrungen und Kunstofflamellen verstarkt sind. Grenzzustande der Tragsicherheit und der Gebrauchstauglichkeit werden getrennt ermittelt. Der Vergleich mit fruheren Normierungsvorschriften ermoglicht...
