Summary

"Nethercot has been involved in the development of limit state design of structural steelwork for many years..this experience clearly shows through in this excellent easy-to-understand book."-- The Structural Engineer The text introduces the basic properties of steel, types of steel structure and steelwork design in order to develop an understanding of the various aspects of the behavior and design of structural steelwork. This edition has been thoroughly revised in accordance with the 2000 amendment to Part 1 of BS 5950 - all references have been updated and a new section on partial encasement for fire resistance has been added. Each chapter features worked examples, practice problems and references.
