Steel Structures Practical Design Studies 4Ed (Pb 2017) Paperback

This fourth edition of a well-liked book on steel structures has been updated to include both Eurocodes and British Standards. The entire text has been revised as needed, and new and improved worked examples have been added. The sections discussing the meaning, purpose, and limitations of structural design, as well as sustainable steel building and energy conservation, have been brought up to date. The book begins with chapters covering the fundamentals of structural engineering and structural steel design. The rest of the book provides a detailed analysis and design of specific types of structures, presenting complex design concepts in a clear and accessible manner. These structures include various single and multi-story buildings, floor systems, and large-span buildings. Each design example uses current Eurocodes or British Standard design data, allowing the reader to experience the design process as it typically occurs in real-world engineering offices and develop practical design skills. This edition also features two new chapters on the design of concrete-encased steel columns and plate girders (with and without rigid end posts) according to EC4 and EC3. The references have been fully updated and now include helpful website addresses.
