Unter "bewehrtem Beton" versteht man eine Kombination von Beton mit anderen, verstärkenden Materialien (meist Stahl). Aus Stahlbetonplatten werden nicht nur Häuser gebaut, sondern auch Straßen und Mauern. Bauingenieure müssen die Merkmale und Einsatzfelder dieser Werkstoffe kennen und Belastungsgrenzen abschätzen. Dieses Buch, das einzige seiner Art, dient Praktikern und Studenten der Bautechnik als kompetenter Begleiter. (01/00)

Annotation - Basis of design - Materials - Durability - Structural analysis - Ultimate limit states - Serviceability limit states - Detailing of reinforcement and prestressing tendons - Detailing for members and particular rules - Additional rules for precast concrete structures - Design for the execution stages.

This comprehensive new reference work provides invaluable information to designers and specifiers throughout the design and construction project and beyond. It comprises guidance on all categories of ground bearing concrete.

This overview examines current issues of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in civil infrastructure. Part I engages topics related to durability and service life of FRP composites, and how they contribute to sustainability, while Part II highlights implementation and applications.

This book is a personal anthology of the author's utmost academic works and accomplishments with his former students and colleagues intended as an enduring record for the engineering community for many years to come.The author's forty-year professional career and academic life journey is first briefly sketched in Chapter 1 and more details are elaborated in three chapters that follow: Chapter 2: The first ten years at Lehigh — beginning to show; Chapter 3: Twenty=three years at Purdue — the highly productive years; and Chapter 4: seven years at UH — the pursuit of excellence. The author's specific academic contributions are documented in the following three chapters: Chapter 5: 23 academic bulletins are selected to highlight his 10 major research areas; Chapter 6: 23 Academic masterpiece books are listed along with their respective peer review comments; and Chapter 7: academic publications include journal articles, conference proceedings and symposiums, and lectures and keynotes. The book ends with the listing of all the author's 55 doctoral students' dissertation titles in Chapter 8.In 1975 at Lehigh, the author published a milestone treatise on Limit Analysis and Soil Plasticity. In 1982 at Purdue, he published another pioneering work on Plasticity in Reinforced Concrete.In September 1999, the author was recruited by UH to take the Deanship of the College of Engineering to accomplish the noble mission: to build the College to become one of the top 50 engineering schools by strengthening the faculty, improving the facilities, and increasing the enrollment. Over his seven years at UH, a lot of progress was made in all these three areas — the research program expanded, facilities improved, and enrollment increased.

Structural Timber Design Timber construction has been one of the most innovative areas of the building industry for several years. The speed with which new products are introduced into practical application is almost breathtaking compared to the other construction materials in the building industry. As a result, timber construction is continuously increasing its market share in commercial buildings and hall structures, and even in multi-storey construction for residential and office buildings. This book provides essential knowledge and skills required for the design, detailing, and construction of timber structures. Special emphasis is placed on the specific features of timber and wood-based materials compared to other construction materials. This concerns the numerous advantages, as e.g. the comparatively low weight, the good workability of the high-performance material and the large variety of assembling technologies, but also the challenges resulting from the material anisotropy and from the susceptibility to natural pests. In each chapter the essential phenomena are explained first and then brought into connection with code regulations. This aims to support the basic understanding of the interrelations and dependencies in timber engineering, which is the fundamental basis of creative engineering.

Reinforced Concrete Design has been written to impart in-depth knowledge to students about the subject. The appropriate Indian standard guidelines, suitable illustrations, figures and solved numerical problems have been included. The design techniques used by the engineers have been discussed with suitable examples to provide basic knowledge to the readers. A sufficient number of questions are given at the end of each chapter to enable the students prepare for the examinations. An additional chapter explaining the concepts and applications of earthquake-resistant design of structures has been included in the text. The fundamentals of computer-aided design and drawing using suitable illustrations have been explained in the last chapter to enable the engineers to understand the practical applications of the subject. The book will serve the purpose of providing thorough knowledge to the students and practicing engineers in the subject.
