The purpose of the book is to present the principles and practice of design for some of the main modern structures. It is intended for final year degree students to show the application of structural engineering theory and so assist them to gain an appreciation of the problems involved in the design process in the limited time available in college. The main purpose of the edition is again to present principles, relevant considerations and sample designs for some of the major types of steel-framed buildings. All buildings can be framed in different ways with different types of joints and analysed using different methods. Member design for ultimate conditions is specified. Projects are selected to show alternative designs for the same structure.
