Design of Steel Structures

This book serves as an introductory guide for undergraduate students learning steel structural design. It delves into elements design based on limit state design principles outlined in the Indian code of Practice - General construction in steel IS 800-2007. The book explains fundamental concepts underlying codal provisions and emphasizes key areas such as principal axes-based compression members, base plate load distribution, limit state design of base plate bearing columns with moment, un-symmetrically loaded beam design, tension field web design in plate girders, and section and member design for bi-axially loaded beam columns. It also provides practical insights into field requirements through applied design chapters, covering topics like gantry girders and industrial roof design.
