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 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.
