Steel Structures: Design using FEM

A comprehensive guide to the design of steel structures using the finite element method (FEM). It covers essential engineering topics such as cross-section properties, stability analysis, and load-bearing capacity in accordance with European standards like Eurocode 3. The authors contrast traditional hand-calculation methods with modern computer-oriented techniques, specifically highlighting the displacement method for analyzing complex beam and plate systems. Detailed chapters explore both linear and nonlinear calculations, addressing physical plastification and geometric imperfections crucial for structural safety. Ultimately, the text serves as a technical resource for performing precise verifications of structural integrity for slender, thin-walled steel components.
