The behaviour and design of steel structures to BS5950
This new third edition of a highly regarded text, discusses the behavior of steel structures and the criteria used in design according to the British code BS5950:2000. Thus it serves to bridge the gap which too often occurs when attention is concentrated on methods of analysis and the sizing of structural components. Because emphasis is placed on the development of an understanding of behavior, many analytical details are either omitted in favor of more descriptive explanations, or are relegated to appendices. The many work examples both illustrate the behavior of steel structures, and exemplify details of the design process.
This third British edition has been directed specifically to the design of steel structures in accordance with the British standard BS5950: Part 1:2000. The removal of material on Australian and American methods of design has allowed the inclusion of additional material relevant to British practice,, and of more detail in the worked examples. This designers, teachers, and students using BS5950 will find greater clarity and more helpful material.
