Steel Structures: Practical design studies
The main purpose of the second edition is again to present principles, relevant considerations and sample designs for some of the major types of steel-framed buildings. All buildings can be framed in different ways with different types of joints and analysed using different methods. Member design for ultimate conditions is specified. Projects are selected to show alternative designs for the same structure.
Designs are now to conform to limit state theory—the British steel code and the new Eurocode. Design principles are set out briefly and designs made to the British code only. Reference is made to the Eurocode in one special case. Many more design calculations and checks are required for the limit state code than for the previous elastic code and thus not all load cases or detailed checks can be carried out for every design project. However, further necessary design work is indicated in these cases.
Though computer methods, mainly for analysis, but also increasingly used for member and connection design are now the design office procedural norm, approximate, manual methods are still of great importance. These are required mainly to obtain sections for computer analysis and to check final designs.
The book, as in the case of the first edition, is aimed at final year students, candidates on master’s degree courses in structural engineering and young engineers in industry. Fundamental knowledge of the methods of structural analysis and design from a basic design course is assumed.
