Regarded as a "must have" design aid for engineers, designers, fabricators and other specifiers of structural steel, the Design Capacity Tables for Structural Steel (DCT) provides information for the design and detailing of structural steel members and connections. Data is presented in the limit states format of AS 4100. Volume 1 of the DCT contains information on the readily available range of "open" structural steel sections (WB,WC, UB, UC, PFC, TFC, TFB, EA & UA). Also included are BHP Grade 300PLUSTM, the new "Lean Beams", and incorporation of Amendments 1 and 2 to AS 4100. Significant enhancements have been made to the second edition, including improved table layout and easy to read design curves. Data in the DCT includes: dimensions and section properties; design section capacities; values for fire design; and design capacities for members subject to bending, shear, bearing, axial compression, axial tension and combined actions. Also included are design capacities for bolts, welds and floor plates; elastic buckling loads; detailing parameters; section properties for gantry girders and rails; and useful tables for angles subjects to flexural loadings about their rectangular axes (restrained and unrestrained) and angles in trusses. Volume 2 of the DCT (DCTv2ed2) provides up-to-date information on the full range of Australian manufactured hollow sections complying with AS 1163. Additionally, the 1998 version of AS 4100 included some significant changes to the hollow section design provisions. These changes have also been incorporated in DCTv2ed2. Other features of DCTv2ed2 include tables associated with section properties, surface areas, telescoping sections, maximum design loads for simply supported beams with full lateral restraint, design section moment (including torsion) and web capacities, design moment capacities for members without full lateral restraint and design member capacities in axial compression/tension. The text includes data used to generate the tables, information relevant to common applications, useful examples and noting of clauses/equations in AS 4100 which are specific to hollow sections.

&Quot;This 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."--BOOK JACKET.

This compendium is made up of a selection of the best and most representative papers from a group of Elsevier's structural engineering journals. Selections were made by the journal's editorial teams. The papers appeared in the following journals during 2000: Journal of Constructional Steel Research P.J. Dowling, J.E. Harding, R. Bjorhovde Thin Walled Structures J. Loughlan, K.P. Chong Engineering Structures P.L. Gould Computers and Structures K.J. Bathe, B.H.V. Topping Construction and Building Materials M.C. Forde Journal of Wind Engineering & Industrial Areodynamics N.P. Jones Marine Structures P.A. Frieze, A. Mansour, T. Yao Each paper appears in the same format as it was published in the journal; citations should be made using the original journal publication details. It is intended that this compendium will be the first in a series of such collections. A compendium has also been published in the area of geotechnical engineering.

Cold formed structural members are being used more widely in routine structural design as the world steel industry moves from the production of hot-rolled section and plate to coil and strip, often with galvanised and/or painted coatings. Steel in this form is more easily delivered from the steel mill to the manufacturing plant where it is usually cold-rolled into open and closed section members.This book not only summarises the research performed to date on cold form tubluar members and connections but also compares design rules in various standards and provides practical design examples.

Traditionally, engineers have used laboratory testing to investigate the behavior of metal structures and systems. These numerical models must be carefully developed, calibrated and validated against the available physical test results. They are commonly complex and very expensive. From concept to assembly, Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures provides civil and structural engineers with the concepts and procedures needed to build accurate numerical models without using expensive laboratory testing methods. Professionals and researchers will find Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures a valuable guide to finite elements in terms of its applications. - Presents design examples for metal tubular connections - Simplified review for general steps of finite element analysis - Commonly used linear and nonlinear analyses in finite element modeling - Realistic examples of concepts and procedures for Finite Element Analysis and Design

This book is intended for classroom teaching in architectural and civil engineering at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Although it has been developed from lecture notes given in structural steel design, it can be useful to practicing engineers. Many of the examples presented in this book are drawn from the field of design of structures. Design of Steel Structures can be used for one or two semesters of three hours each on the undergraduate level. For a two-semester curriculum, Chapters 1 through 8 can be used during the first semester. Heavy emphasis should be placed on Chapters 1 through 5, giving the student a brief exposure to the consideration of wind and earthquakes in the design of buildings. With the new federal requirements vis a vis wind and earthquake hazards, it is beneficial to the student to have some under standing of the underlying concepts in this field. In addition to the class lectures, the instructor should require the student to submit a term project that includes the complete structural design of a multi-story building using standard design procedures as specified by AISC Specifications. Thus, the use of the AISC Steel Construction Manual is a must in teaching this course. In the second semester, Chapters 9 through 13 should be covered. At the undergraduate level, Chapters 11 through 13 should be used on a limited basis, leaving the student more time to concentrate on composite construction and built-up girders.
