The main aim of this book is to provide practical advice to designers of plated structures for correct and efficient application of EN 1993-1-5 design rules. In chapter 1 the purpose, the scope and the structure of the book is explained. In chapter 2 a rather detailed and commented overview of EN 1993-1-5 design rules is given following the structure of the standard. Shear lag effect as well as plate buckling problems due to direct stresses, shear forces, transverse forces and interactions of these effects are covered. This chapter also includes a reduced stress method and a finite element analysis approach to plate buckling problems. A large number of design examples illustrate the proper application of individual design rules. Chapter 3 and 4 bring two complete design examples on a crane runway and a box-girder bridge.

Sustainable development and the search for green and renewable energy sources is a major concern of humankind. Given the important share of energy consumption in buildings, it is extremely important to search for innovative design solutions and optimal thermal performance of buildings in order to reduce energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions, maintaining levels of thermal comfort of occupants.Low rise residential buildings with light-weight steel-framed structure are becoming more popular, presenting some advantages (economical, functional, environmental, etc.) in comparison with the traditional construction techniques.However, in order to overcome some potential drawbacks (e.g. high thermal conductivity of steel and reduced thermal mass) and obtain a good thermal behaviour on light-weight steel buildings increasing energy performance, it is essential to correctly design some relevant key-factors (e.g. building envelope and building services) taking into account the climate and the human factors (e.g. occupancy schedule and internal gains). This publication intends to provide guidelines for good thermal behaviour and high energy efficiency in cold-formed low-rise residential buildings. [Publisher]
