A comprehensive treatment of current fastening technology using inserts (anchor channels, headed stud), anchors (metal expansion anchor, undercut anchor, bonded anchor, concrete screw and plastic anchor) as well as power actuated fasteners in concrete. It describes in detail the fastening elements as well as their effects and load-bearing capacities in cracked and non-cracked concrete. It further focuses on corrosion behaviour, fire resistance and characteristics with earthquakes and shocks. It finishes off with the design of fastenings according to the European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG 001), the Final Draft of the CEN Technical Specification 'Design of fastenings for use in concrete' and the American Standards ACI 318-05, Appendix D and ACI 349-01, Appendix B.

Designed as a fundamental source of information on the installation and renewal of non-man-size supply and sewage lines by the trenchless construction method, this book describes non-steerable and steerable microtunnelling systems, their ranges of application and relevant operational experience. The text is supplemented by numerous photographs, outline drawings, tables and charts. In-depth knowledge is given on the subjects of design and operation of different types of soil removal systems, measuring and steering techniques, construction of starting and target pits, as well as obstruction removal. Moreover, the presentations cover the special jacking pipes required for microtunnelling, and provide detailed information regarding the relevant stress and strain analyses. It is shown how the trenchless construction method can be used for marking service house connections, and that there are new ways to link up house service lines with shafts or sewers. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the text

Die neue Auflage wurde auf der Grundlage der neuen Normen DIN 1052 Teil 1 bis 3, Ausgabe April 1988 und DIN 1074, Ausgabe Mai 1991 erarbeitet und gibt eine Einführung in die Grundlagen des Holzbaus.  Werkstoffe, Verbindungsmittel im Holzbau sowie die maßgebenden Vorschriften werden ausführlich dargestellt und kommentiert. Das vorliegende Werk entspricht damit dem heutigen Stand der Technik auf diesem Gebiet und hilft dem Ingenieur bei der Konstruktion, Berechnung und Ausführung von Holzverbindungen und Traggliedern im Holzbau.

Comprehensive research projects carried out at the Institute of Steel and Timber Construction at the University of Innsbruck over the last decade have resulted in essential know-how about the behaviour of steel and composite beam-to-column joints, representing an important contribution to the economical competitiveness of composite and mixed structures. At the same time the response of composite beams and slabs with partial shear connection and incomplete shear interaction were analysed, yet without first considering the interaction between beams and joints. On the one hand, this book collects and refines the results gained until now on partial shear connection and joint representation, including the knowledge gained while working out proposals for Eurocode 4. On the other hand, it develops a calculation tool for studying the behaviour of beams with incomplete shear interaction in combination with semi-continuous joints. For this purpose all the non-linearities of the material, the shear interface and the joint are taken into consideration. Since an appropriate finite-element program reflecting the joints does not exist, and since the handling of the program should be as simple as possible allowing the results to be exactly custom-made in view of specific interests, a special computer program was developed. Thus far non-linear calculations for the characterisation of composite sections and semi-continuous joints have been realised, and an overall semi-continuous beam analysis should follow, based on the combination of sections and joints.

Steel fibre reinforced concrete is a material with guaranteed tensile strength, outstanding working capacity under static and dynamic loads and a technically effective crack distribution. This building material lends itself therefore to numerous possibilities of application in structural engineering.  This book covers fibre types, concrete composition, properties and areas of application of steel fibre reinforced concrete. Particular attention is given to tunneling, mining, other fields of geotechnics, and structural repair. The book also presents design rules and existing regulations, as well as equipment and methods for the installation of the material. In addition, it examines cost considerations and economic feasibility, and provides an outlook on future development in this field. The examples given in the book facilitate training in this field.

This is the shortened, English-language version of the German volume published in 1989 and omits those contributions and passages that refer only to German laws, or which have little relevance outside Germany. It includes additional texts, especially on the relevant European norms and the canon of the Abwassertechnische Vereinigung [German Waste Water Technology Association] as well as the latest research and development reports. The result is a comprehensive overview of the technology currently available for wastewater management and systems plus the relevant norms, with special emphasis on maintenance, cleaning, inspection and reconstruction. A number of European systems are used to describe in detail pipe materials and connections, pipework-specific framework conditions and their changes since the development of modern drains and sewers in the 19th century. The book also lists causes and effects of various types of damage, and their assessment in terms of hydraulics, environmental relevance and construction, since this is a basic prerequisite for the choice of suitable rehabilitation measures and their implementation. Readers are thus not only provided with a comprehensive presentation of all internationally practised rehabilitation processes and their fields of application, but are also given advice on their selection, on the formulation of tenders, cost and cost efficiency.

Volume 1 covers the basics necessary for any construction activity in foundation engineering. This systematic introduction to the assessment of soil and rock properties provides an insight into the requirements of Eurocode 7, Parts 1 and 3. It also gives details of geotechnical laboratory and field tests and the associated equipment, concise treatments of relevant solutions provided by the theories of elasticity and plasticity and numerical methods applied to solve problems of geotechnical design. The problems of earthquakes are also explained with regard to Eurocode 8.
