STRUCTURAL STEELWORK Ce oe Oe bo SC This book provides a step-by-step approach to the design of structural steel elements. It includes an introduction to theory and analysis of structures and to the strength of materials, and each steel element is then considered in detail, with the derivation of the code formulae clearly explained. The design principles are illustrated at each stage by numerous sketches to clarify ambiguities in the codes of practice, and the book features a number of worked examples and an appendix of tables and charts. The highly structured step-by-step approach provides a comprehensive book which is, at the same time, user friendly. It will assure that: © all design requirements are logically adhered to © a standardised approach is established in a design office © a simplified procedure for checking and for quality assurance can be implemented. Cover illustrations show projects designed and built by the Taylor Woodrow Group of companies. STRUCTURAL STEELWORK Analysis and Design STRUCTURAL STEELWORK Analysis and Design S.S.

The design of structural steel members requires many checks in a systematic, structured manner: this book has been written to provide a step-by-step approach to this task with a view to achieving completeness of the design process in all respects. This highly prescriptive approach provides a comprehensive book which is at the same time user friendly. The task of quality assurance becomes less arduous and the output of a design office becomes fully standardised if the approach in this book is strictly followed. For students, too, the book should prove to be invaluable because the essential elements of the theory of structures and analysis are dis- cussed, followed by a structured approach to the design of all elements in a building, including connections. The numerous worked examples will be very useful to practitioners, students and lecturers alike. The design principles are illustrated at each stage by sketeches. The extensive use of illustrations is a particular feature of the book and is intended to clarify ambiguities in the codes of practice.

A beam is in pure bending where shear force is zero and hence bending moment is constant over a length of the beam. A plane section is assumed to remain plane before and after bending. When shear force is present, the plane section is warped. But for all practical purposes this warping due to shear force may be ignored and the theory of pure bending may be extended to cover the cases of bending where the bending moment is not constant. 1.1.1 Assumptions (1) Plane section remains plane.
