Stability and Vibrations of Thin-Walled Composite Structures presents engineering and academic knowledge on the stability (buckling and post buckling) and vibrations of thin walled composite structures like columns, plates, and stringer stiffened plates and shells, which form the basic structures of the aeronautical and space sectors.

Currently, this knowledge is dispersed in several books and manuscripts, covering all aspects of composite materials. The book enables both engineers and academics to locate valuable, up-to-date knowledge on buckling and vibrations, be it...

This book presents a whole set of new results which have been published by the authors over the last 30 years in the field of continuum solid mechanics applied to the analysis and design of reinforced civil engineering structures.

The focus is on the development and application of up-scaling/homogenization methods in the design of such composite structures, with a special emphasis on the plastic behavior and ultimate strength of materials.

The specificity of the book is highlighted by at least two completely innovative concepts which lie at the very heart of the book's...

Das Dach ist die Urform menschlicher Behausungen, bei dem Holz als Baustoff fur die Verwendung von Dachkonstruktionen - zumindest im Wohnhausbau - nach wie vor eine enorme Bedeutung zukommt. Aufgrund des geringen Gewichts, der schnellen Montage, der Elementierbarkeit und der modernen Verbindungstechnik werden auch in Zukunft Holzdachstuhle in Verwendung sein. Das Buch gibt einen Uberblick uber die gangigen Konstruktionssysteme, die im Altbau und Neubau angewendet werden, bis hin zu Sonderformen, Dachgaupen und modernen Konstruktionen.
In der Neuauflage wurden speziell die Auswirkungen...

Energy Modeling in Architectural Design demonstrates how design elements can lead to energy savings, to help you reduce the energy footprint of your buildings. In addition to identifying climate opportunities, you'll also learn fundamental passive design elements for software-agnostic energy modeling of your projects from conception. Using parametric models and testing each element during design will lead you to create beautiful and sustainably optimized high-performance buildings. Illustrated with more than 100 color images, the book also includes a pattern guide for...

Sustainable Construction Materials: Municipal Incinerated Bottom Ash discusses the global use of virgin aggregates and CO2 polluter Portland cement. Given the global sustainability agenda, much of the demand for these two sets of materials can be substantially reduced through the appropriate use of waste materials, thereby conserving natural resources, energy and CO2 emissions. Realistically, this change can only be realized and sustained through engineering ingenuity and new concepts in design. Although a great deal of research has been published over the last 50 years, it remains...
