Structural engineering. "Covers theory and background of localbuckling, presenting simple design calculations which address this intriguing phenomenon. Attempts to master the process of buckling are described, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented as well. The final section of the book presents easy-to-follow design examples which conform to the latest Eurocode. Intended tointroducesenior students in Bridge and Structural Engineering to the phenomenon of buckling, with special focus on thin-walled plated bridge girders. Suitable as a course instruction guide for itshighly visual and descriptive style. Moreovere a good reference on buckling for practising and consulting engineers."--Provided by publisher.
