Ultimate Limit State Analysis and Design of Plated Structures (2nd Edition) – PDF

The Ultimate Limit State Analysis and Design of Plated Structures 2nd edition (PDF) is a comprehensive guide that covers both the fundamental and practical aspects of designing ductile steel plated structures for ultimate limit state. The second edition of this well-respected reference provides a review of the fundamental principles and practical design procedures used in steel plated structures. It presents basic mathematical expressions along with an in-depth discussion of the assumptions and the validity of the underlying solution methods and expressions. The book also serves as an accessible design tool aimed at facilitating learning by applying the concepts of the limit states through a set of computer programs that can be downloaded.

The new edition offers expert guidance on mechanical model test results and nonlinear finite element solutions, sophisticated design methodologies useful for practitioners in industries or research institutions, and selected methods for accurate and efficient analyses of nonlinear behavior of steel plated structures up to and after the ultimate strength is reached. The book features a new chapter on a semi-analytical method and provides results for existing mechanical model tests. It covers recent advances and developments in the field, is supported by a companion website with illustrative example data sheets, and offers a thorough discussion of assumptions and the validity of underlying expressions and solution methods. Moreover, it includes new topics on constitutive equations of steels, test database associated with low/elevated temperature, and strain rates.

The Ultimate Limit State Design of Steel Plated Structures, 2nd Edition is ideal for university students and teachers who are approaching limit state design technology of steel plated structures for the first time. It also caters to the needs of structural designers or researchers who are involved in civil, marine, and mechanical engineering as well as offshore engineering and naval architecture.
