Items related to Steel Structures: Design using FEM
Synopsis
This book presents the structural analysis and design of steel structures using finite element methods (FEM). After a short introduction on the basics of the design, this book illustrates the FEM with a focus on internal forces, displacements, critical loads and modal shapes. Next to finite element procedures for linear calculations considering the stress states of normal force, biaxial bending and warping torsion, non-linear calculations and the stability cases of flexural buckling, lateral torsional buckling and plate buckling are concentrated on significantly. In this context, design procedures for stability according to the standard Eurocode 3 is introduced and discussed. In addition, important fundamental issues are covered, such as the determination of cross-section properties as well as the elastic and plastic cross-section resistance. Complementary, finite element procedures for cross sections are dealt with, which will have an increasing importance in future.
For practitioners in construction engineering as well as for students, an introduction and all necessary calculations for the design of steel structures according to the Eurocodes (EC 3) are presented.
In addition, the determination of the limit load capacity of columns and beams subject to stability according to the flow-zone theory is treated in detail, as it is to be expected that this calculation method will be increasingly used in the future in the field of building practice.
For this second edition, more calculation examples were worked out and deepened.

In 2010, he moved to the engineering firm Schurmann - Kindmann und Partner SKP in Dortmund as Senior Engineer and Head of Structural Planning and took on teaching assignments at the Ruhr University Bochum and the Vietnamese-German University in Ho Chi Minh City. In 2015 he followed the call to the Bauhaus University Weimar to become Professor of Steel and Hybrid Construction.
Univ. em. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Kindmann
studied civil engineering at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum RUB. From 1974 to 1989 he worked as a researcher at the RUB and then for ten at Thyssen Engineering years in various positions, lastly as division manager of all engineering departments. From 1990 to 2013 he was a full professor and the head if the Institute of Steel and Composite Structures at the University of Bochum. In 1991 he founded Schurmann - Kindmann and partners, Consulting Engineers (SKP) in Dortmund. Professor Dr. Kindmann is a licensed checking engineer for steel and concrete structures and of design in railway engineering. Since finishing his work as a partner, Rolf Kindmann has continued to be closely associated SKP.
