This classic manual on structural steel design provides a major source of reference for structural engineers and fabricators working with the leading construction material. Based fully on the concepts of limit state design, the manual has been revised to take account of the 2000 revisions to BS 5950. It also looks at new developments in structural steel, environmental issues and outlines the main requirements of the Eurocode on structural steel.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Steel Designers' Manual is a must for anyone involved in steel design.' -Journal of Constructional Steel Research 'gives an excellent background to the use of structural steel in its many forms ... of interest to both students and practitioners alike' -New Steel Construction 'gives a lucid presentation of the behaviour and design of steel structures ... a worthwhile addition for many design office libraries' -Construct in Steel (Australia)
