Sommario/riassunto

How do some students manage to excel in their studies and be popular while other high achievers are treated as social outcasts?This lively and accessible text looks at the relationships between gender, race and social class, and attainment and popularity, for high achieving pupils. The internationally renowned authors present a lucid theoretical framework that reflects the complexity of these issues, placing them within the broader context of the policies which cause and constrain particular behaviours among teachers and pupils. The authors draw



together empirical data, bringing the realities

Sommario/riassunto

Detail Practice: Building with Steel is a handbook for quick, goal-oriented reading and implementation. Case study projects exemplify common norm details using large-scale drawings. The fundamentals of planning load-bearing structures provide design and planning help. This is supplemented by explanations of common load-bearing structures using examples of residential, office, hall and industrial buildings. Issues of fire safety and building physics particularly relevant to steel construction are treated alongside the use of steel as a material for cladding facades.

Detail Practice: Building with Steel ist ein Handbuch für das schnelle,



zielgerichtete Nachlesen und Umsetzen. Beispielprojekte erläutern gebräuchliche Regeldetails anhand großmaßstäblicher Detailzeichnungen. Grundlagen zur Tragwerksplanung helfen bei Entwurf und Planung. Ergänzend sind gängige Tragwerke an Beispielen wie Wohnungs-, Verwaltungs- und Hallenbau erläutert. Die im Stahlbau besonders relevanten Fragen zu Brandschutz und Bauphysik sind ebenso behandelt wie der Einsatz von Stahl als Material für Fassadenbekleidungen.
