Tank design
A minimum superimposed load of 1,2 kN/m2 (over the horizontal projected area) is applied to the roof of the tank. This load is commonly known as the 'snow load', but...

Chimneys
The basic wind speed, corresponding to the chimney site, is defined as the mean hourly speed at 10m above ground level in ...

Masts
For the masts with 3 faces, the most adequate section of the legs is a round hollow section or a round solid section. A circular flange is welded onto...

Fatigue
Fatigue of steel structural components, especially welded steel details, is a particularly complex problem, and many factors...

Welded connections
In welded construction for buildings approximately 80% of the welds are fillet welds and 15% are butt welds. The remaining 5% are plug, slot and ...

Bolt connections
Preloaded bolts exert a compressive stress on the connected plates. The compression gives rise to ...

Shell structures
Shell structures are widely used in civil, mechanical, architectural, aeronautical, and marine engineering. Distributed loads due to internal pressure in storage tanks, ...

Stainless steel
Most structural applications use austenitic grades 1.4301, 1.4401 or their low carbon variants 1.4307 and 1.4404. A wide range of product...

Structual fire design
In more advanced concepts of the equivalent fire duration, the effects of the thermal properties of the building ...
