Rolf Kindmann: 6 books

This book presents the design of steel structures using finite element methods (FEM) according to the current state of the art in Germany and the rest of Europe. After a short introduction on the basics of the design, this book illustrates the FEM with a focus on internal forces, displacements, critical...

Zentrale Themen des Buches sind geschweißte und geschraubte Verbindungen im Stahl- und Verbundbau. Darüber hinaus werden auch andere Verbindungstechniken bzw. Verbindungsmittel behandelt, wie z. B. Kontakt, Kopfbolzendübel, Setzbolzen, Niete, Augenstäbe, Bolzen, Hammerschrauben, Zuganker, Dübel...

The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become a standard tool used in everyday work by structural engineers having to analyse virtually any type of structure. After a short introduction into the methodolgy, the book concentrates on the calculation of internal forces, deformations, ideal buckling loads...

The central themes are structural stability, the determination of loading according to 2nd order theory and the verification of load-bearing capacity. The actual load-bearing behaviour is explained, suitable verification procedures are recommended and illustrated with examples.

The book imparts basic knowledge for the detailing of steel structures and for the structural design of steelwork according to Eurocode 3 with Parts 1-1 (Building Elements) and 1-8 (Joints). With extensive examples. The book has been completely revised for the 5th edition.
