Steel Structures: Design and Practice serve as an invaluable textbook for students and reference for practising engineers, who are unfamiliar with the limit state design of steel structures.
A perfect blend of theory and practice, the book provides an extensive coverage of the design of steel structures in accordance with the latest code of practice for general construction in steel (IS 800 : 2007). The book is based on the modern limit state approach to design and covers topics such as properties of steel, types of steel structures, loadings and load combinations, design considerations, design of tension and compression members, beams, plate and gantry girders, beam columns, and trusses. Bolted and welded connections are also covered with ample examples. The last chapter is devoted to the design of industrial buildings which demonstrates the application of the concepts learnt in the earlier chapters.
