Design of Steel Structures by Subramanian N.

Design of Steel Structures covers the topics required by the undergraduate students of structural and civil engineering.

Summary Of The Book

The text introduces the modern limit states approach to design which reflects the latest developments. It includes topics such as the types of steel structures, properties of steel, important areas of structural steel technology, welded connections, bolted connections, design of plate girders, design of trusses, and design of beam-columns.

The design of steel structures covered in this book is as per the latest code of practice for general construction in steel (IS 800:2007). It provides coverage of the design of steel structures in accordance with the latest code of practice for general construction in steel (IS 800:2007).

Each chapter includes review questions, solved examples, practice problems and sufficient number of illustrations to supplement the text.

The CD that is supplied with the book includes advanced chapters on fatigue-resistant design, protection of steel structures against corrosion and fire, and design for torsion. The CD also contains computer programs for design and reference information on properties of steel and soils that enhances the value of the book.

The book contains 15 chapters which additionally cover topics Methods of Structural Analysis, Buckling Behavior of Steel and Design of Industrial Buildings.

Postgraduate students will also find this book useful. Besides, it can be a reference book for practicing engineers who are not familiar with the limit states design of steel structures.
