Analysis and Design of Plated Structures: Stability

The stability behavior of steel and other types of plated structures under compressive stress continues to be an important research area for those involved in the design of plated structures. Analysis and Design of Plated Structures: Volume 1: Stability, Second Edition covers the latest developments of new plate solutions and structural models for plate analysis. Completely revised and updated by its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, this edition also contains new chapters covering GBT-based stability analysis; addresses issues concerning finite strip and direct strength method (DSM); bracing systems; storage tanks under wind loading; analysis and design of light gauge steel members; applications of high strength steel members; cold-formed steel pallet racks; and design of curved steel bridges. This is a comprehensive reference for graduate students and researchers and practicing engineers in the fields of civil, structural, aerospace, mechanical, automotive and marine engineering.
