mowafi3m,
Your intention is good. However i reckon its implementation will affect the current system of the forum.
1) All the four categories in your proposal involve material outside STEEL book section. Not only that, the 'example and solved problem material' are scattered in a few subsection (some in DISCUSSION section, the same moderator may not to do the job). To close all the thread is not justifiable as other material than STEEL are in them.
2) If we do it for STEEL, how about other material like CONCRETE, COMPOSITE, TIMBER?
3) Should we merge back the STEEL from bridge section?
For that, i suggest if we are going to sub divide the STEEL book section, do it only for the material as already in the STEEL book section like design orientated book like material from SCI, academic text book like Mc Cormac's, fabrication/erection related book, etc.
