This second edition of Design of Structural Steelwork presents the essential design aspects of steel as a structural material. It has been carefully revised and updated to provide a modern introduction to the subject, assuming only a basic knowledge of structural analysis and solid mechanics.

This second edition of the text presents the design aspects of steel as a structural material. It has been updated to provide a modern introduction to the subject, assuming only a basic knowledge of structural analysis and solid mechanics. The fundamentals of design method and specific problems associated with different structural elements and their connection are discussed with the aid of numerous worked examples. Calculations conform to practical requirements and are based on the British Code of Practice - including the British Standard 5950.
