Plate Buckling in Bridges and Other Structures By Bjorn Akesson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Number Of Pages: 163 Publication Date: 2007-02-15 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415431956 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415431958 Binding: Hardcover
A well-illustrated and comprehensive account of various aspects of local buckling in bridges, this book covers the theory and background of buckling. It presents simple design calculations that address this intriguing phenomenon and describes attempts to master the process of buckling, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented, including five bridge collapses which occurred in a four-year-period between 1969 and 1973. Examining such failures provides valuable information about the phenomenon of buckling. The final section of the book presents easy-to-follow design examples that conform to the latest Eurocode.
