Stahlbau 1

The book covers essential aspects of steel construction, beginning with the materials, execution, and protection of steel structures, including iron and steel properties, rolled products, construction methods, corrosion protection, and fire safety. It then delves into the calculation of steel structures, addressing loads and stresses, resistance, limit states, and design verification processes, including general rules and specific checks for stability and durability. Connection techniques are explored, detailing various methods such as bolted and welded connections, as well as pin joints and wedge connections. The section on tension members discusses cross-section selection, design, stress verification, and connections. High-strength tension elements are examined, covering materials, construction types, calculation fundamentals, and anchoring. The book also addresses compression members, including buckling theory, stability checks for single and multi-part members, and connections. The section on columns outlines general regulations, cross-section types, and structural design. Lastly, it discusses beam construction, focusing on the design and calculation of solid web beams, beam systems, and structural detailing. The text concludes with references, appendices, and formulas according to DIN 18800 T1 and T2.
