Design of Steel Structures to Eurocodes

This textbook provides a comprehensive guide to the design of steel and composite building structures according to Eurocodes. It covers the structure as a whole, as well as the design of individual structural components and connections. It discusses the basis of design, loads, load combinations, steel properties, structural analysis, cross-section resistances, component design, connections, and alternative configurations. It is supplemented by numerical examples and is ideal for students and practicing engineers.

This comprehensive textbook provides a detailed and authoritative guide to the design of steel and composite building structures in accordance with Eurocodes. It encompasses the entire structure, as well as the design of individual structural components and connections. The book addresses a range of critical topics, including:

The foundation of design within the Eurocodes framework

The various loads applied to building structures

The load combinations for different limit states of design

The key steel properties and steel fabrication methods

The models and methods of structural analysis, considering structural imperfections and cross-section classification based on compactness

The cross-section resistances under axial, shear, bending, or torsional moments, as well as combinations of these forces

Component design, particularly focusing on components susceptible to instability phenomena such as flexural, torsional, and lateral-torsional buckling

The design of connections and joints executed through bolting or welding, including beam-to-column connections in frame structures

Alternative configurations to consider during the conceptual design phase for various types of single or multi-storey buildings

The design of crane supporting beams

In addition to these technical aspects, the book also delves into the fabrication and erection procedures, along with the associated quality requirements and quality control methods. Extensive discussions are included on bolting, welding, and surface protection procedures. To further enhance the learning experience, the book is supplemented with over fifty numerical examples that illustrate the appropriate procedures for addressing each specific design challenge in the context of steel structures following Eurocodes.

This textbook is an invaluable resource for students of structural engineering, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the principles and practices involved in designing steel and composite building structures. It equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in this field and contribute to the construction of safe and sustainable infrastructure.
