No Synopsis Available
The background and interpretation of the provisions related to the determination of actions and resistances based on limit state design, durability, fire resistance, fatigue and earthquake actions as required by CEN/TS 1992 are described in detail. Selected chapters from the German concrete yearbook are now being published in the new English Beton-Kalender Series for the benefit of an international audience. Since it was founded in 1906, the Ernst & Sohn Beton-Kalender has been supporting developments in reinforced and prestressed concrete. The aim was to publish a yearbook to reflect progress in ferro-concrete structures until - as the book''s first editor, Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942), expressed it - the tempestuous development in this form of construction came to an end. However, the Beton-Kalender quickly became the chosen work of reference for civil and structural engineers, and apart from the years 1945-1950 has been published annually ever since.
