Steels and computer-based modelling are fast growing fields in materials science as well as structural engineering, demonstrated by the large amount of recent literature.

Steels: from materials science to structural engineering combines steels research and model development, including the application of modelling techniques in steels. The latest research includes structural engineering modelling, and novel, prototype alloy steels such as heat-resistant steel, nitride-strengthened ferritic/martensitic steel and low nickel maraging steel.

Researchers studying steels will...

Schon kleinere Storungen in produzierenden Unternehmen konnen zu grossen Schaden oder im schlimmsten Fall sogar zum "Zusammenbruch" des Unternehmens fuhren. Analysen von Grossschaden in jungster Zeit machen deutlich, dass die Ursachen fur Storungen im Immobilienbereich sowohl in technischen Mangeln als auch haufig im menschlichen Versagen - entweder der Einzelperson oder als Folge mangelhafter Organisation - begrundet liegen. Eine umfassende und systematische Analyse der Risikosituation eines Unternehmens muss daher eine unternehmerische Aufgabe sein.

Zum gegenwartigen Zeitpunkt ist die...

This book demonstrates the principles of facade construction. Guidelines are suggested for good detailing. The installation procedures are described for the most common materials - glass, wood, steel, concrete, and aluminum. Numerous drawings made specially for the book explain the principles of the individual types of facade which are then illustrated with built examples.
