Steel Structures Design Based on Eurocode 3

This book is tailored to the needs of structural engineers who are seeking to become familiar with the design of steel structures based on Eurocode 3. It explains each step of the design process using comprehensive flow charts, tables and equations as well as numerous examples. The useful appendices, including general sections and properties as well as general formulas for shear force, maximum bending moment and deflection for several selected loading conditions, offer designers a valuable source of reference.

The book also introduces a specially developed design-aid program, which provides immediate results without the need for modeling, and as such considerably reduces the time needed for the design stage. 

Farzad Hejazi is an associate professor at University Putra Malaysia. He is also innovation coordinator for the Faculty of Engineering and senior lecturer at the department of Civil Engineering at the same university. Further, he is the research coordinator at the Structural Unit and a member of the management committee of the UPM Housing Research Center. He received his PhD in Structural Engineering from University Putra Malaysia in 2011 and was postdoctoral fellow there until 2012.

In addition he teaches postgraduate courses for master’s and PhD students in structural engineering fields such as the finite element method, structural dynamics, advanced solid mechanics, advanced structural analysis and earthquake resistance structure. His main research interests include the development of earthquake-energy dissipation systems using advanced modern technologies; and the numerical simulation, experimental testing and optimization of the performance of structural controllers usingsmart and intelligent system in order to diminish the effects of earthquake on structure and to guarantee safety of buildings in natural disasters.
