Synopsis
The Revised 8th Edition of Steel Designers' Handbook is an invaluable tool for all practising structural, civil and mechanical engineers as well as engineering students at university and TAFE in Australia and New Zealand. It has been prepared in response to changes in the design Standard AS 4100, the structural Design Actions Standards, AS /ANZ 1170, other processing Standards such as welding and coatings, updated research as well as feedback from users.This edition is based on Australian Standard (AS) 4100: 1998 and subsequent amendments. The worked numerical examples in the book have been extensively revised with further examples added. The worked examples are cross-referenced to the relevant clauses in AS 4100: 1998., Fully revised and updated, this eighth edition is an invaluable tool for all practicing structural, civil, and mechanical engineers as well as engineering students. Responding to changes in design and processing standards--including fabrication, welding, and coatings--this resource introduces the main concepts of designing steel structures; describes the limit states method of design; demonstrates the methods of calculating the design capacities of structural elements and connections; and illustrates the calculations by means of worked examples. Design aids and extensive references to external sources are also included., This book is based on Australian Standard (AS) 4100:1998 Steel Structures and its more recent significant amendment. The worked numerical examples in the book have been updated and are cross-referenced to the relevant clauses in AS 4100:1998 and its subsequent amendment. The book: Introduces the main concepts of designing steel structures, Describes the limit states method of design, Provides added background to AS 4100:1998 and its subsequent amendment, Demonstrates the methods of calculating the design capacities of structural elements and connections, Illustrates the calculations by means of worked examples, Includes design aids and extensive references to external sources.
