Structural Steel Design to Eurocode 3 and        AISC  Specifications

   

This book intends to be a guide to understanding the basic concepts of theory of steel structures as well as to provide practical guidelines for the design of steel structures in accordance with both European (EN 1993) and United States (ANSI/AISC 360-10) specifications. It is primarily intended for use by practicing engineers and engineering students, but it is also relevant to all different parties associated with steel design, fabrication and construction.

     

      Structural Steel Design to Eurocode 3 and AISC Specifications deals with the theory and practical applications of structural steel design in Europe and the USA. The book covers appropriate theoretical and background information, followed by a more design‐oriented coverage focusing on European and United States specifications and practices, allowing the reader to directly compare the approaches and results of both codes. Chapters follow a general plan, covering: ? A general section covering the relevant topics for the chapter, based on classical theory and recent research developments ? A detailed section covering design and detailing to Eurocode 3 specification ? A detailed section covering design and detailing to AISC specifications Fully worked examples are using both codes are presented. With construction companies working in increasingly international environments, engineers are more and more likely to encounter both codes. Written for design engineers and students of civil and structural engineering, this book will help both groups to become conversant with both code systems.
