Description
The book Robot AutoDESK Structural Analysis – wymiarowanie konstrukcji stalowych i żelbetowych. Przykłady obliczeń by A. Ambroziak and P. Kłosowski is a supplement to the textbook Robot AutoDESK Structural Analysis – podstawy obliczeń, published in 2010 (reissued in 2013). It contains explanations and complete examples of the design of steel and reinforced concrete structures using the AutoDESK program of the title. It presents three examples of the design of steel frame and truss structures made of bars, showing the design of a single truss member and of a steel frame. The authors discuss how to select member sections and how to verify the structure. The subsequent examples cover design procedures for reinforced concrete structures: a frame, two slabs, a foundation footing and a spherical shell. The procedure is shown in detail, from the definition of the structure, through the analysis of static results and the selection of the area and arrangement of reinforcement, to the automatic generation of reinforcement drawings. The book is richly illustrated, which allows readers to find the relevant program options easily, even when learning on their own.
It is intended first and foremost for students learning the automatic design of building structures with Robot AutoDESK. Because the program is so widely used in design offices, it will probably also find readers among engineers in design offices who wish to broaden their knowledge of the design of steel and reinforced concrete structures.
