Download or read book International Structural Steel Sections written by Boris Androic and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 2000-05-31 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some years now, steel construction has no longer been the reserve of specialists. To take advantage of all the possibilities offered by the modern steel industry in terms of a good fit of shape and material, the first rough design plays an important part in planning any structure. Tender or offer specifications based on Eurocode 3 will hopefully open the way to competitiveness using the international reasonable steel market. This book contains a short annotation about steel grades and qualities, followed by a basic introduction to the European safety concept, 104 tables for all European rolled sections, a selection of British and American sections, hot-rolled and cold-formed hollow sections as well as tables giving data on dimensions, properties and classification, design resistance, design buckling resistance and design lateral torsional buckling resistance moment under two different load conditions, based on the European buckling curves. These tables allow preliminary design, profile selection or a quick safety check of various structural members, so as to avoid time-consuming computer analysis, or to check the plausibility of results so obtained.

Download or read book Design of Steel Structures Vol 1 written by Ramchandra and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 1010 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelfth edition, 2009 of this book is based on IS: 800-2007 and also newly revised IS: 883-1994 (code of practice for timber structures). New code of practice, IS: 800 is likely to be issued soon. It is likely to introduce ``Limit State Design of Steel Structures''. Authors have distributed the text in thirty four chapters in main text and one chapter `on Location of Shear Centre' in Appendix A. Concept of Shear Centre and bending axis is important and significant and essentially needed to understand simple theory of bending and so also unsymmetrical bending. Complete-text has been updated and new matter added (e.g., elastic buckling, inelastic, stability and instability of columns and compression members, torsional-buckling, torsional-flexural buckling, etc.). Behaviour of web-stiffeners and web-panels specially near the end panels, tension-field action has been first time included to familiarise the students with the concept. Durability of steel members have been emphasized phenomenon of corrosion has been distinctly explained.

Download or read book Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel written by Terri Meyer Boake and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the means for a better control and purposeful consideration of the design of Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS). It deploys a detailed categorization of AESS and its uses according to design context, building typology and visual exposure. In a rare combination, this approach makes high quality benchmarks compatible with economies in terms of material use, fabrication methods, workforce and cost. Building with exposed steel has become more and more popular worldwide, also as advances in fire safety technology have permitted its use for building tasks under stringent fire regulations. On her background of long standing as a teacher in architectural steel design affiliated with many institutions, the author ranks among the world‘s best scholars on this topic. Among the fields covered by the extensive approach of this book are the characteristics of the various categories of AESS, the interrelatedness of design, fabrication and erection of the steel structures, issues of coating and protection (including corrosion and fire protection), special materials like weathering steel and stainless steel, the member choices and a connection design checklist. The description draws on many international examples from advanced contemporary architecture, all visited and photographed by the author, among which figure buildings like the Amgen Helix Bridge in Seattle, the Shard Observation Level in London, the New York Times Building and the Arganquela Footbridge.
Download or read book Cold formed Tubular Members and Connections written by Greg Hancock and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-08-17 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold formed structural members are being used more widely in routine structural design as the world steel industry moves from the production of hot-rolled section and plate to coil and strip, often with galvanised and/or painted coatings. Steel in this form is more easily delivered from the steel mill to the manufacturing plant where it is usually cold-rolled into open and closed section members.This book not only summarises the research performed to date on cold form tubluar members and connections but also compares design rules in various standards and provides practical design examples.

Download or read book Steel Structures 4th Edition written by Zahid Ahmad Siddiqi and published by Zahid Ahmad Siddiqi. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of year 2005, new AISC Specification was released that contained formulas for both Allowable Stress Design and Load and Resistance Factor Design in non-dimensional format to be used for both the FPS and SI units. In year 2010, this specification for steel structures design and the seismic provisions were updated. This specification was further revised in 2016. This book is prepared in the light of the new Specifications. AASHTO LRFD Specifications are used to present the concepts of bridge loading and the design procedure. As in the first edition, in place of explaining the various aspects of design such as checking various strength capacities, stability requirements and serviceability limits in separate chapters, complete design including all the major steps of design are presented in individual units for various types of members. It is expected that this procedure gives true picture of design process to the beginners and the practicing engineers. This book is more useful if it is used along with another publication “LRFD Steel Design Aids”, termed as Design Aids in this book. The flow charts given in different sections of this book may easily be computerized to get custom-made computer programs for personal use. International system of units (SI) is used throughout the book. Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be highly appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.
Download or read book Structure and Architecture written by Angus J Macdonald and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Structure and Architecture' is an essential textbook for students and practitioners of architecture and structural engineering. MacDonald explains the basic principles of structure and describes the ranges of structure types in current use. Furthermore, the book links these topics directly with the activity of architectural design and criticism. An update of the first edition, 'Structure and Architecture 2ed' includes a revised opening chapter, and a new section that discusses prominent buildings constructed since the last edition was published in 1994. Angus MacDonald deals with structures holistically, relating detailed topics back to the whole structure and building. He aims to answer the questions: What are architectural structures? How does one define the difference between the structure of a building and all of the other components and elements of which it consists? What are the requirements of structures? What is involved in their design? An understanding of the concepts involved in answering these questions and an appreciation of how the structure of a building functions enhances the ability of an individual to appreciate its architectural quality. This book is unique in that it discusses the structural component of architectural design in the context of visual and stylistic issues.
