Catalogue of Risks
Since the German edition of this book, the topic of risk has experienced even greater attention, not only in the world of science but also in other fields, such as economics and politics. Therefore, many new publications have evolved. To keep with the idea of an encyclopedia for the topic of risk, this book has been completely reworked. Not only are many updated examples included in chapter “Risks and disasters” but also new chapters have been introduced, such as the chapter “Indetermination and risk”. This new chapter was developed since the question “Is it possible for risks to be completely eliminated, and if not why?” has become a major point of c- cern. Therefore, especially...
Perceived Safety
This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective on perceived safety. It discusses the concept of safety from engineering, philosophy, and psychology angles, and considers various definitions of safety and its relationship to risk. Examining the categorization of safety and the measurement of risk, risk cultures, basic human needs and decision-making under uncertainty, the contributions demonstrate the practical implications and applications in areas such as health behavior, aviation and sports. Topics covered include: What is “safety” and is there “optimal safety” in engineering? Philosophical perspectives on safety and risk Psychological perspectives on perceived safety: social factors of feeling safe Psychological perspectives on perceived safety: zero-risk bias, feelings & learned carelessness Perception of aviation safety Intended for both practitioners and academic researchers, this book appeals to anyone interested in decision-making and the perception and establishment of safety.
The History of the Theory of Structures
Ten years after the publication of the first English edition of The History of the Theory of Structures, Dr. Kurrer now gives us a much enlarged second edition with a new subtitle: Searching for Equilibrium. The author invites the reader to take part in a journey through time to explore the equilibrium of structures. That journey starts with the emergence of the statics and strength of materials of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo, and reaches its first climax with Coulomb's structural theories for beams, earth pressure and arches in the late 18th century. Over the next 100 years, Navier, Culmann, Maxwell, Rankine, Mohr, Castigliano and Müller-Breslau moulded theory of structures into a fundam...
Stahlbeton for Beginners
Stahlbeton war im letzten Jahrhundert der erfolgreichste Baustoff und er wird es auf absehbare Zeit auch bleiben. Das Buch bietet einen leicht verständlichen Einstieg in den Stahlbetonbau und die Grundlagen zur Berechnung von Bauteilen. Neben den Bemessungs- und Konstruktionsregeln werden mechanische Grundlagen und Wirkungsweise des Verbundwerkstoffes erklärt. Die häufig als schwierig empfundene Bemessung wird in vielen Grafiken anschaulich erklärt. Einfache Bemessungsaufgaben zu jedem Kapitel zeigen beispielhaft die Anwendung der Formeln.

Handbuch Brücken
Hervorragende Fachautoren beschreiben ihre Erfahrungen zu Tragwerkstypen, Berechnungs-, Herstellungs- und Bauausführungsverfahren sowie Bauüberwachungsmethoden. Gegenüber den beiden vorangegangenen Auflagen wird im Einführungskapitel auf die neuere Entwicklung der Verwendung von Hochleistungsbeton im Brückenbau sowie auf Brücken aus Textilbeton eingegangen. Des Weiteren werden in diesem Kapitel integrale und semiintegrale Brücken behandelt, es werden Entwicklungen in der Bauweise mit verbundlosen internen Spanngliedern und die Nachrechnung von Brücken behandelt. Dazu wurden auch die sechs in den Jahren 2010 bis 2014 mit Brückenbaupreisen ausgezeichneten Brücken aufgenommen, sodass ...
