The standard work illustrates the fundamental concepts of structural engineering and provides the necessary expertise for the design and collaboration of architects, structural engineers, and engineers. The 13th edition of this standard work has been completely revised and updated. Numerous drawings and numerical examples, as well as the chapter on graphical statics, facilitate understanding. Simplified and largely uniform procedures have been developed for the various design methods, allowing for quick and easy preliminary design. References to the regulations according to DIN and Eurocode are provided accordingly. The technical updates resulting from the transition from DIN regulations to Eurocodes have been completed with this edition. Contents include: Loads, equilibrium of forces and moments, supports, static determinacy, internal forces and moments, load cases and envelopes, strength of construction materials, design of bending beams, tension and compression members, walls and columns (masonry), graphical statics, trusses, inclined and buckled beams, slabs and beams (reinforced concrete), columns and walls (concrete/reinforced concrete).
