"Covers theory and background of localbuckling, presenting simple design calculations which address this intriguing phenomenon. Attempts to master the process of buckling are described, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented as well.The final section of the book presents easy-to-follow design examples which conform to the latest Eurocode. Intended tointroducesenior students in Bridge and Structural Engineering to the phenomenon of buckling, with special focus on thin-walled plated bridge girders. Suitable as a course instruction guide for itshighly visual and descriptive style. Moreovere a good reference on buckling for practising and consulting engineers."--Provided by publisher.
