Author(s)/Editor(s): Luís Simões da Silva, Rui Simões and Helena Gervásio, Graham Couchman | Size: 21.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: ECCS WILEY | Year: 2014 | pages: 476 | ISBN: 9783433031353
This book is the first of a series of joint SCI-ECCS publications, a series that will be extremely helpful to U.K. designers helping them through the change that Eurocodes represent. This joint publication is the 1 st Edition, revised second impression of the ECCS Eurocode Design Manual to EN 1993-1-1, supplemented by a U.K. Foreword. In this edition, the reader will find information that is either of a general nature, or relevant to specific sections of the publication, to facilitate its application in a U.K. context. The General rules and rules for buildings of part 1-1 of Eurocode 3 constitute the core of the code procedures for the design of steel structures. They contain the basic guidance for structural modeling and analysis of steel frameworks and the rules for the evaluation of the resistance of structural members and components subject to different loading conditions. According to the objectives of the ECCS Eurocode Design Manuals, it is the objective of this book to provide mix of “light” theoretical background, explanation of the code prescriptions and detailed design examples. Consequently, this book is more than a manual: it provides an all-in-one source for an explanation of the theoretical concepts behind the code and detailed design examples that try to reproduce real design situations instead of the usually simplified examples that are found in most textbooks. This book evolved from the experience of teaching Steel Structures according to ENV 1993-1-1 since 1993. It further benefited from the participation in Technical Committees TC8 and TC10 of ECCS where the background and the applicability of the various clauses of EN 1993-1-1 was continuously questioned. This book covers exclusively part 1-1 of Eurocode 3 because of the required level of detail. Forthcoming volumes discuss and apply most of the additional parts of Eurocode 3 using a consistent format. Chapter 1 introduces general aspects such as the basis of design, material properties and geometric characteristics and tolerances, corresponding to chapters 1 to 4 and chapter 7 of EN 1993-1-1. It highlights the important topics that are required in the design of steel structures. Structural analysis is discussed in chapter 2, including structural modelling, global analysis and classification of cross sections, covering chapter 5 of EN 1993-1-1. The design of steel members subjected to various types of internal force (tension, bending and shear, compression and torsion) and their combinations is described in chapter 3, corresponding to chapter 6 of EN 1993-1-1. Chapter 4 presents the design of steel structures using 3D elastic analysis based on the case study of a real building. Finally, chapter 5 discusses plastic design, using a pitched-roof industrial building to exemplify all relevant aspects. Furthermore, the design examples provided in this book are chosen from real design cases. Two complete design examples are presented: i) a braced steelframed building; and ii) a pitched-roof industrial building. The chosen design approach tries to reproduce, as much as possible, real design practice instead of more academic approaches that often only deal with parts of the design process. This means that the design examples start by quantifying the actions. They then progress in a detailed step-by-step manner to global analysis and individual member verifications. The design tools currently available and adopted in most design offices are based on software for 3D analysis. Consequently, the design example for multi-storey buildings is analysed as a 3D structure, all subsequent checks being consistent with this approach. This is by no means a straightforward implementation, since most global stability verifications were developed and validated for 2D structures.

This book introduces the fundamental design concepts of Eurocode 3 for steel structures in building construction, and their practical application.
Following a discussion of the basis of design, above all the principles of the limit state approach, the material standards and their use are detailed. The fundamentals of structural analysis and modeling are presented, followed by the design criteria and approaches for various types of structural members. The following chapters expand on the principles and applications of elastic and plastic design, each exemplified by the step-by-step design calculation of a braced steel-framed building and an industrial building, respectively.
Besides providing the necessary theoretical concepts for a good understanding, this manual intends to be a supporting tool for practicing engineers. To that end, numerous worked examples are provided throughout the book, concerning the analysis of steel structures and the design of elements under several types of actions. These examples facilitate the application of Eurocode regulations in practice.
The second edition contains more worked examples and extended explications on issues like torsion.
The development program for the design manuals of the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) represents a major effort for the steel construction industry and the engineering profession in Europe. Conceived by the ECCS Technical Activities Board under the leadership of its chairman, Professor Luis Simões da Silva, the manuals are being prepared in close agreement with the final stages of Eurocode 3 and its national Annexes. The scope of the development effort is vast, and reflects a unique undertaking in the world. The publication of the first of the manuals, Design of Steel Structures, is a signal achievement which heralds the successful completion of the Eurocode 3 work and brings it directly to the designers who will implement the actual use of the code. As such, the book is more than a manual – it is a major textbook that details the fundamental concepts of the code and their practical application. It is a unique publication for a major construction market. Following a discussion of the Eurocode 3 basis of design, including the principles of reliability management and the limit state approach, the steel material standards and their use under Eurocode 3 are detailed. Structural analysis and modeling are presented in a chapter that will assist the design engineer in the first stages of a design project. This is followed by a major chapter that provides the design criteria and approaches for the various types of structural members. The theories of behavior and strength are closely tied to the Eurocode requirements, making for a unique presentation of theory into practice. The following chapters expand on the principles and applications of elastic and plastic design of steel structures. The many design examples that are presented throughout the book represent a significant part of the manual. These will be especially well received by the design profession. Without a doubt, the examples will facilitate the acceptance of the code and provide for a smooth transition from earlier national codes to the Eurocode.

Autodesk Point Layout automatically generates points from models within Autodesk® Revit®, Autodesk® AutoCAD®, and Autodesk® Navisworks® software. As you add points to the design, you embed X, Y, and Z coordinate information into your model. Each X, Y, and Z coordinate includes a unique point number and description. You can use the data you added to the model to inform the coordination process throughout the project lifecycle. Then you can export point coordinates to your compatible total station in the field so you lay out more accurate points, more quickly, reducing the risk of costly errors and delays.
