Design of Steel Structures
Design of Steel Structures

This book details the fundamental concepts of Eurocode 3, Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings and
their practical application.  Following a discussion of the Eurocode 3 basis of design, including the principles
of reliability management and the limit state approach, the steel material standards and their use under
Eurocode 3 are detailed.  Structural analysis and modelling are presented in a chapter that will assist the
design engineer in the first stages of design.  This is followed by a major chapter that provides the design
criteria and approaches for the various types of structural members.  The theoretical basis and checking
procedures are closely tied to the Eurocode requirements, making for a unique presentation of theory into
practice.  The following chapters expand on the principles and applications of elastic and plastic design of
steel structures. Throughout the book, many design examples are presented that represent a significant part
of the manual.  These examples will facilitate the acceptance of the code and provide for a smooth transition
from earlier national codes to the Eurocode.

Fire Design of Steel Structures
Fire Design of Steel Structures

This book explains and illustrates the rules that are given in the Eurocodes for designing steel structures
subjected to fire. After the first introductory chapter, Chapter 2 explains how to calculate the mechanical
actions (loads) in the fire situation based on the information given in EN 1990 and EN 1991. Chapter 3 presents
the models that may be used to represent the thermal actions. Chapter 4 describes the procedures to be used to
calculate the temperature of the steelwork from the temperature of the compartment and Chapter 5 shows how
the information given in EN 1993-1-2 is used to determine the load bearing capacity of the steel structure. The
methods use to evaluate the fire resistance of bolted and welded connections are described in Chapter 7. In all
of these chapters the information given in the Eurocodes is presented in a practical and usable manner. Each
chapter also contains a set of easy to follow worked examples. Chapter 8 describes a computer program called
‘Elefir-EN’ which is based on the simple calculation model given in the Eurocode and allows designers to
quickly and accurately calculate the performance of steel components in the fire situation. Chapter 9 looks at
the issues that a designer may be faced with when assessing the fire resistance of a complete building. This is
done via a case study and addresses most of the concepts presented in the earlier Chapters.
