DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF STEEL STRUCTURES HC – MOHAMED A. EL-REEDY

This book presents the design of steel structures and defines the approaches for various design codes, including AISC, BS, and EC3. It also discusses the theoretical background for the design of different structural members and provides illustrative examples of each, as well as structural connections, base plates with anchor bolt designs, and more. In addition, best practices for on-site construction methods, including receipt of materials, quality control and assurance, and inspection, are also presented. Non-destructive testing methods are discussed. Features:Provides coverage of American (AISC) and European (EC3) structural codesExamines various types of structural loading, including dead loads, live loads, wind, seismic loads/earthquakes, snow, and moreIncludes numerous practical examples as well as ancillary Excel worksheets to aid in design calculationsWelding process, quality control and construction method statement by a case study.
