9780412397004: Limit States Design of Structural Steelwork

Synopsis

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This textbook is a comprehensive introduction to structural steelwork design based on the limit states approach to BS 5950, for use by undergraduates in civil and structural engineering. It will also serve as a reference for practising engineers unfamiliar with new parts of BS 5950.
The text introduces basic properties of steel, types of steel structure and steelwork design in order to develop an understanding of the various aspects of the behaviour and design of structural steelwork.
This edition has been thoroughly revised in accordance with the 2000 amendment to Part 1 of BS 5950 - all references have been updated and a new section on partial encasement for fire resistance has been added. Each chapter features worked examples, practice problems and references.
