Design of Steel Structures

Design of Steel Structures provides a systematic and application-oriented introduction to the analysis and design of structural steel systems. The book connects fundamental structural mechanics with code-based design principles, practical detailing, stability considerations, and engineering judgement.
Beginning with structural steel properties, standard sections, loads, load combinations, and limit-state design, the book progresses through bolted and welded connections and the design of tension members, compression members, beams, beam-columns, and plate girders. It further extends these concepts to complete structural systems, including roof trusses, gantry girders, steel buildings, industrial frames, towers, chimneys, and other special structures.
Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil and Structural Engineering, the book also serves as a useful reference for practicing engineers, academicians, and candidates preparing for professional and competitive examinations. Its balanced treatment of theory and practical design aims to develop the knowledge and engineering judgement required for safe, economical, durable, and constructible steel structures.
