Theory of beam-columns; v.1: In-plane behavior and design. (reprint, 1976).9781932159769 Theory of beam-columns; v.1: In-plane behavior and design. (reprint, 1976) Chen, Wai-Fah and Toshio Atsuta. J. Ross Publishing 2008 513 pages $64.95 Paperback J. Ross Publishing series TA660 This is the first volume of a two-volume work by Chen (formerly, College of Engineering, U. of Hawaii, US) and Atsuta (Hyogo Prefectural pre·fec·ture n. 1. The district administered or governed by a prefect. 2. The office or authority of a prefect. 3. The residence or housing of a prefect. Institute of Technology, Japan) exploring the theory and design of beam-columns, defined as a structural member which is subjected simultaneously to axial compressive com·pres·sive adj. Serving to or able to compress. com·pres  sive·ly adv. force and bending moment A bending moment exists in a structural element when a moment or torque is applied to the element so that the element bends. Moments and torques are measured as a force multiplied by a distance so they have units such as newton.metres (N.m) and foot.pounds (ft.lb). . This
volume describes fundamentals and two-dimensional beam column Beam columnA structural member that is subjected to axial compression and transverse bending at the same time. A beam column differs from a column only by the presence of the eccentricity of the load application, end moment, or transverse load. problems in order to provide upper-level undergraduates and more advanced readers with an understanding of the in-plane behavior and strength of column stability problems. The emphasis is on metal beams but concrete and composite beams are also considered. The second volume covers three-dimensional biaxially loaded beam-columns. This is a paperbound pa·per·bound adj. Bound in paper; paperback. edition of a work first published in 1976. ([c]20082005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
