Synopsis

Detailed, practical guide to designing steel-framed office buildings.

This book presents the general specifications and design methods used for an eight-story office building, including floor spacing, clear floor area, and a veneered steel-and-brick construction. It covers the layout and framing of floors, columns, spandrel walls, and the cornice, with concrete slab and terrazzo-like finishes described in practical terms. The material also shows how existing building codes and revised specifications influence the design of steel mill-type elements and supporting structures.

What you’ll experience
  • Step-by-step design notes for floor slabs, beams, girders, and columns
  • Calculations for loads, safety factors, and the interaction of brick walls and spandrel framing
  • Details on window openings, stairwells, elevators, and cornice framing
  • Real-world references to specifications and code considerations that shape the final design
Ideal for readers of structural engineering and architectural drafting, this edition provides a concrete view of the planning and calculations behind a steel-framed office building.
