Design of Steel Structures; Eurocode 3 Part 1-1, General Rules and Rules for Buildings

Author(s)/Editor(s): Luís Simões da Silva, Rui Simões and Helena Gervásio | Size: 22 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: ECCS WILEY | Year: 2016 | pages: 505 | ISBN: 9789291471348

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.
