Emerald Publishing Limited Design of Fire-resistant Concrete Structures
Design of Fire-resistant Concrete Structures gives a thorough insight into the behaviour of concrete structures exposed to fire. It mixes theory, including physics and analysed data, with practice and shows design methods for beams, slabs, columns, and walls of fire-exposed cross-sections. It explains the physical processes that concrete materials experience when subjected to high temperatures, allowing the engineer to make an informed decision when choosing materials and designing a concrete structure. This book includes coverage of: anchorage of reinforcement at fire explosive spalling of high-strength concrete how to make fire-safe concrete structures temperature movement and calculations thermal properties effective design for structures of high fire resistance; Written by an author with over 40 years’ experience in research and practice, this book contains essential knowledge required by consulting engineers, municipal authorities, producers of concrete elements and details, contractors and students tasked with designing and understanding concrete structures.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Sustainable Light Concrete Structures
The book presents new technologies for easy and economical construction of light concrete structures saving materials and CO2. The new super-light technology allows a designer to place forces, where it is optimal, and save material everywhere else. The book also supports this “Direct Engineering” principle with a number of new details and structural principles. The new pearl-chain technology makes it possible to design optimal shapes such as arches, vaults, cupolas, floating tunnels, and shells etc. from inexpensive, and mass-produced components. The new super-light deck-elements presented in the book are now produced in six factories in Denmark, Finland, and USA, and the number is increasing. The book will be of interest for all structural engineers, who would like to save materials, CO2 and optimize their structures, for students learning about the new technologies, and for contractors and architects, who want to investigate new building technologies.
