Description
Embracing the BS 5950 code of practice on steelwork design, this book is a fully fledged teaching text, covering the basic theory and principles of limit states steelwork design. Starting from a description of material behaviour and basic concepts of structural design, it takes the reader progressively through the subject. Topics covered include the behaviour and design of all the main components of steel structures, including members, connections and their interaction in complete frames. New chapters in this edition deal with Composite Construction and Design for Fire, according to the principles of the recently published Parts 3.1 and 8 respectively of BS 5950. Additionally, modifications have been made to the first six chapters to bring them fully in line with the 1990 version of Part 1 of BS 5950. Although intended primarily as a student text, with worked examples, problems for further practice and references to additional reading, much of the material should also be suitable for practitioners wishing to acquaint themselves with the methods of BS 5950.

Preface. Notation. Index of references to clauses in BS 5950, Parts 1, 3.1 and 8. Steel as a structural material. Production: steelmaking; rolling. Properties of steel: comments on yield stress; residual stresses. Composition toughness and grades. Fatigue. Composition and corrosion protection. Fire protection of structural steelwork. References. The basis of structural design. Structural idealization. Structural codes. Limit-states and partial safety factors. Loading. References. Bibliography. Tension members. Behaviour of members in tension. Basic design approach: effective section; net section. Eccentric connection: design approach. References. Examples for practice. Axially loaded columns. Stocky columns: stub column behaviour; local buckling in columns: design approach. Slender columns: background to the problem; design approach; welded sections. Influence of end conditions: design approach. Special types of strut: angle sections: design approach; laced and battened struts: design approach. References. Examples for practice. Beams. In-plane bending of beams of compact cross-section. Lateral-torsional buckling of beams of compact cross-section: background to the problem; design approach. Design of built-up sections (plate girders): local buckling of beams: flange local buckling; web behaviour; web buckling due to vertical loads. References. Examples for practice. Members under combined axial load and moment.Combined tension and moments. Combined compression and moments: case (1): in-plane strength: effect of non-uniform moment; Case (2): lateral-torsional buckling; case (3): biaxial bending. References. Examples for practice.
