This book explains and illustrates the rules that are given in the
Eurocodes for designing steel structures subjected to fire. After
the first introductory chapter, Chapter 2 explains how to calculate
the mechanical actions (loads) in the fire situation based on the
information given in EN 1990 and EN 1991. Chapter 3 is dedicated to
the models which represent the thermal actions created by the fire.
Chapter 4 describes the procedures to be used to calculate the
temperature of the steelwork from the temperature of the
compartment and Chapter 5 shows how the information given in EN
1993-1-2 is used to determine the load bearing capacity of the
steel structure. Chapter 6 presents the essential features that
characterize the advanced calculation models, for thermal and
mechanical response. The methods used to evaluate the fire
resistance of bolted and welded connections are described in
Chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes a computer program called
'Elefir-EN? which is based on the simple calculation model given in
the Eurocode and allows designers to quickly and accurately
calculate the performance of steel components in the fire
situation. Chapter 9 looks at the issues that a designer may be
faced with when assessing the fire resistance of a complete
building. This is done via a case study and addresses most of the
concepts presented in the previous chapters. For this second
edition the content has been revised and extended. The book
contains some new sections, e.g. a comparison between the simple
and the advanced calculation, as well as additional examples.
This book introduces the design concept of Eurocode 3 for steel
structures in building construction, and their practical
application. It especially comments on the regulations of the
british National Annexes. Following a discussion of the basis of
design, including the limit state approach, the material standards
and their use are detailed. The fundamentals of structural analysis
and modeling are presented, followed by the design criteria and
approaches for various types of structural members. The following
chapters expand on the principles and applications of elastic and
plastic design, each exemplified by the step-by-step design
calculation of a braced steel-framed building and an industrial
building, respectively. Besides providing the necessary theoretical
concepts for a good understanding, this manual intends to be a
supporting tool for the use of practicing engineers. In order of
this purpose, throughout the book, numerous worked examples are
provided, concerning the analysis of steel structures and the
design of elements under several types of actions. These examples
will provide for a smooth transition from earlier national codes to
the Eurocode.
This volume addresses the specific subject of fatigue, a subject
not familiar to many engineers, but still relevant for proper and
good design of numerous steel structures. It explains all issues
related to the subject: Basis of fatigue design, reliability and
various verification formats, determination of stresses and stress
ranges, fatigue strength, application range and limitations. It
contains detailed examples of applications of the concepts,
computation methods and verifications.

This book details the basic concepts and the design rules included
in Eurocode 3 "Design of steel structures" Part 1-8 "Design of
joints". Joints in composite construction are also addressed
through references to Eurocode 4 "Design of composite steel and
concrete structures" Part 1-1 "General rules and rules for
buildings". Moreover, the relevant UK National Annexes are also
taken into account. Attention has to be duly paid to the joints
when designing a steel or composite structure, in terms of the
global safety of the construction, and also in terms of the overall
cost, including fabrication, transportation and erection.
Therefore, in this book, the design of the joints themselves is
widely detailed, and aspects of selection of joint configuration
and integration of the joints into the analysis and the design
process of the whole construction are also fully covered.
Connections using mechanical fasteners, welded connections, simple
joints, moment-resisting joints and lattice girder joints are
considered. Various joint configurations are treated, including
beam-to-column, beam-to-beam, column bases, and beam and column
splice configurations, under different loading situations (axial
forces, shear forces, bending moments and their combinations). The
book also briefly summarises the available knowledge relating to
the application of the Eurocode rules to joints under fire,
fatigue, earthquake, etc., and also to joints in a structure
subjected to exceptional loadings, where the risk of progressive
collapse has to be mitigated. Finally, there are some worked
examples, plus references to already published examples and to
design tools, which will provide practical help to practitioners.
