This book presents the design of steel structures and defines the approaches for various design codes, including AISC, BS, and EC3. It also discusses the theoretical background for the design of different structural members and provides illustrative examples of each, as well as structural connections, base plates with anchor bolt designs, and more. In addition, best practices for on-site construction methods, including receipt of materials, quality control and assurance, and inspection, are also presented. Non-destructive testing methods are discussed. Features: Provides coverage of American (AISC) and European (EC3) structural codes Examines various types of structural loading, including dead loads, live loads, wind, seismic loads/earthquakes, snow, and more Includes numerous practical examples as well as ancillary Excel worksheets to aid in design calculations Welding process, quality control and construction method statement by a case study.
