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.

This is the first design guide on concrete filled double skin steel
tubular (CFDST) structures. It addresses in particular CFDST
structures with plain concrete sandwiched between circular hollow
sections, and provides the relevant calculation methods and
construction provisions for CFDST structures. These inherit the
advantages of conventional concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST)
structures, including high strength, good ductility and durability,
high fire resistance and favourable constructability. Moreover,
because of their unique sectional configuration, CFDST structures
have been proved to possess lighter weight, higher bending
stiffness and better cyclic performance than conventional CFST.
Consequently CFDST can offer reduced concrete consumption and
construction costs. This design guide is for engineers designing
electrical grid infrastructures, wind power towers, bridge piers
and other structures requiring light self-weight, high bending
stiffness and high bearing capacity.

The use of modern composite materials in construction offers the
structural engineer and designer exciting opportunities for all
types of buildings and structures. By far the most commonly used
and longest established composite material is the combined use of
steel and concrete in the form known in most parts of the world as
'composite construction'. Composite Construction takes a
comprehensive look at recent developments in this fast growing
area. With each chapter written by an acknowledged expert in the
field, this book aims to link physical behaviour, engineering
approximation, appropriately applied theoretical concepts and
design approaches. Composite Construction is not simply a code
commentary, nor does it deal with topics purely in terms of
developing theory from first principles. Rather, the emphasis is
strongly placed on providing both the practising engineer and the
student with an understanding of physical behaviour, and the
intelligent application of this knowledge in practice
The fully revised fourth edition of this successful textbook fills
a void which will arise when British designers start using the
European steel code EC3 instead of the current steel code BS5950.
The principal feature of the forth edition is the discussion of the
behaviour of steel structures and the criteria used in design
according to the British version of EC3. Thus it serves to bridge
the gap which too often occurs when attention is concentrated on
methods of analysis and the sizing of structural components.
Because emphasis is placed on the development of an understanding
of behaviour, many analytical details are either omitted in favour
of more descriptive explanations, or are relegated to appendices.
The many worked examples both illustrate the behaviour of steel
structures and exemplify details of the design process. The
Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to EC3 is a key text for
senior undergraduate and graduate students, and an essential
reference tool for practising structural engineers in the UK and
other countries.

Eurocode 3 covers many forms of steel construction and provides the
most comprehensive and up-to-date set of design guidance currently
available. Throughout, this book concentrates on the most commonly
encountered aspects of structural steel design, with an emphasis on
the situation in buildings. Much of its content is therefore
devoted to the provisions of the Part 1.1: General rules and rules
for buildings of EN 1993. This is, however, supplemented by
material of loading, joints and cold-formed design. For each of the
principal aspects covered, the book provides background to the
structural behaviour, explanation of the codified treatment, and
numerous worked examples. This Guide should serve as the primary
point of reference for designing steel structures to Eurocode 3.
