Natke, Hans Nussbaumer, Anthony J. Pretlove, Johann H. Rainer, Ernst-Ulrich Saemann, Lorenz Steinbeisser. Large structures such as factories, gymnasia, concert halls, bridges, towers, masts and chimneys can be detrimentally affected by vibrations. These vibrations can cause either serviceability problems, severely hampering the user's comfort, or safety problems. The aim of this book is to provide structural and civil engineers working in construction and environmental engineering with practical guidelines for counteracti...
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 variation of stress over the thickness of the element) or they are subdivided into several plates. Since ...
Bearings are used in the construction of bridges, for the distribution of loads between different elements and for compensating stresses. This volume describes their construction, function, calculation and applications, and is supplemented by normative regulations and research results. The book takes account of EN 1337 standards, which are binding on a European level. It also takes into account the latest experiences gained in practice as well as on the basis of recent tests, and includes examples for the correct placing of bearings and dampers.
Im Mai 1976 erschütterte ein schweres Erdbeben das Friaul, ein Gebiet südöstlich von Graubünden. Das Ereignis wirkte wie ein Paukenschlag: Es erinnerte daran, dass auch die Schweiz jederzeit von katastrophalen Schadenbeben betroffen sein kann. Aus diesem Bewusstsein resultierten die ersten Schritte im Erdbebeningenieurwesen als Wissenschaft und Praxis des erdbebensicheren Bauens. Ebenfalls in den 1970er-Jahren traten bei Bauwerken immer mehr spektakuläre Fälle von Schwingungen auf – verursacht z.B. durch Wind, Verkehr, rhythmische menschliche Körperbewegungen oder rotierende bzw. stampfende Maschinen. Um diese Phänomene zu verstehen, braucht es die Baudynamik als Wissenschaft und P...
