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.
