Preface Structural Steel Design to Eurocode 3 and AISC Specifications

ver the last century, design of steel structures has developed from very simple approaches based on a few elementary properties of steel and essential mathematics to very sophisticated treatments demanding a thorough knowledge of structural and material behaviour. Nowadays, steel design utilizes refined concepts of mechanics of material and of theory of structures combined with probabilistic-based approaches that can be found in design specifications.

This book intends to be a guide to understanding the basic concepts of theory of steel structures as
well as to provide practical guidelines for the design of steel structures in accordance with both
European (EN 1993) and United States (ANSI/AISC 360-10) specifications. It is primarily intended
for use by practicing engineers and engineering students, but it is also relevant to all different parties
associated with steel design, fabrication and construction.

The book synthesizes the Authors’ experience in teaching Structural Steel Design at the Technical University of Milan-Italy (Claudio Bernuzzi) and in design of steel structures for power plants (Benedetto Cordova), combining their expertise in comparing and contrasting both European and American approaches to the design of steel structures.

The book consists of 16 chapters, each structured independently of the other, in order to facilitate  consultation by students and professionals alike. Chapter 1 introduces general aspects such as material properties and products, imperfection and tolerances, also focusing the attention on testing methods and approaches. The fundamentals of steel design are summarized in Chapter 2, where the  principles of structural safety are discussed in brief to introduce the different reliability levels of the design. Framed systems and methods of analysis, including simplified methods, are discussed in Chapter 3. Cross-sectional classification is presented in Chapter 4, in which special attention has been paid to components under compression and bending. Design of single members is discussed in depth in Chapter 5 for tension members, in Chapter 6 for compression members, in Chapter 7 for members subjected to bending and shear, in Chapter 8 for members under torsion, and in Chapter 9 for members subjected to bending and compression. Chapter 10 deals with design accounting for the combination of compression, flexure, shear and torsion.
