The second edition has incorporated all the revisions necessitated after the issue of Amendment No. 1 of January 2012 to IS 800:2007. The book is primarily designed for the students of civil/structural engineering at all levels of studies—undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma—as well as for the professionals in the field of structural steel design. It covers the fundamental concepts of steel design in the perspective of the limit state design concept as per IS 800:2007, with the focus on cost-effective design of industrial structures, foot bridges, portal frames, and pre-engineered buildings. The connection design details are discussed concurrently with the design of members. The book covers the subject matter, with the help of numerous practical illustrations accompanied by step-by-step design calculations and detail-ing, in 14 chapters—including a chapter on pre-engineered buildings. Solved examples as well as exercises are provided in each chapter to enable the development of a strong understanding of the underlying concepts and for testing the comprehension acquired by the students. The geometrical properties of rolled steel sections, often required as per the revised clauses of IS 800:2007 and not appearing in the existing steel tables, are given in the Appendix A for ready reference.
Limit States Design in Structural Steel
Completely revised and updated, this fourth edition of Structural Steelwork: Design to Limit State Theory describes the design theory and code requirements for common structures, connections, elements, and frames.
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.
A comprehensive reference which provides the student and the engineer with in-depth guidance on design methods to the UK code of practice for structural steelwork, BS 5950.
This book reviews and describes both the fundamentals and practical procedures for the ultimate limit state analysis and design of steel- and aluminum-plated structures.
The text of book has been covered in about 1000 pages and 550 diagrams. The texts of various topics has been explained in many illustrative worked-out examples.
This book is intended for classroom teaching in architectural and civil engineering at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Limit State Design of Steel Structures
Twelfth edition, 2009 of this book is based on IS: 800-2007 and also newly revised IS: 883-1994 (code of practice for timber structures).
This text aims to develop an understanding of Limit State Design as applied to structural steelwork.
