BRANKO RON ARU N This seventh, thoroughly updated edition of
Steel Designers Handbook will be an invaluable tool to all
practising structural engineers, as well as engineering students.
It introduces the main concepts relating to design in steel and
replaces the sixth edition, published in 1996. This edition has
been prepared in response to the new structural Design Actions
Standard, AS/ANZ 1170, as well as feedback from users. It is based
on Australian Standard (AS) 4100: 1998 and provides added
background to that Standard.
The book makes extensive use of worked numerical examples to
demonstrate the methods of calculating the capacities of structural
elements. These examples have been extensively revised from the
previous edition, with further examples added. The worked examples
are cross-referenced to the relevant clauses in AS 4100: 1998.
Between them, the authors have close to 100 years experience of
solving engineering problems. All three have practised in all
phases of the design and speci cations of steel structures ranging
from commercial to institutional structures; while two, Arun Syam
and Branko Gorenc, have served on numerous Standard Australia
committees related to steel construction.
