The third edition of this successful textbook is concerned specifically with the design of steel structures to the British Standard BS 5950. Thoroughly revised and updated in accordance with the latest 2000 amendment to Part 1 of the standard, it discusses all aspects of the behaviour of steel structures, and criteria used in their design.
With copious worked examples, The Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to BS 5950 is an ideal course textbook for senior undergraduate students, and will also provide a useful reference source for the practising engineer.
