ABOUT THE BOOK

            Practical Design of Steel Structures written by Karuna Moy Ghosh is published by Whittles Publishing, CRC Press. 

             There are numerous books available discussing the analysis and design of steel structures. These texts consider isolated parts of a structure, with the emphasis primarily on theory and little focus on practical design and the considerations and challenges that engineers face in the design office and on the construction site. This book takes a holistic approach presenting a comprehensive description and explanation of the analysis and design process for any structure and its component structural elements, from the initial design concept through to final construction. The text has been written with the structural calculations presented in a simple and lucid way. Taking a step-by-step approach, the book discusses design philosophy, functional aspects of structure, selection of construction material and accompanying methods of construction, with reference to the relevant clauses of codes of practice. Included are design sketches, tables and references. 

              This book describes the practical aspects of analysis and design based on the latest steel structure design codes of practice Eurocode 3: Part 1-1 and Part 1-8: Design of steel structures for buildings and Design of joints. Included is the comparative analysis of results for model design of a beam and column applying Eurocode 3 and BS 5950. 2000.  The following relevant Eurocodes applicable to the analysis have also been included: Eurocode 0: Basis of structural design (BS EN 1990:2002) and Eurocode 1: Densities, self weights, imposed loads, snow loads, wind loads, and cranes and machinery.
