The design of structural steel members requires many checks in a systematic, structured manner: this book has been written to provide a step-by-step approach to this task with a view to achieving completeness of the design process in all respects. This highly prescriptive approach provides a comprehensive book which is at the same time user friendly. The task of quality assurance becomes less arduous and the output of a design office becomes fully standardised if the approach in this book is strictly followed. For students, too, the book should prove to be invaluable because the essential elements of the theory of structures and analysis are dis- cussed, followed by a structured approach to the design of all elements in a building, including connections. The numerous worked examples will be very useful to practitioners, students and lecturers alike. The design principles are illustrated at each stage by sketeches. The extensive use of illustrations is a particular feature of the book and is intended to clarify ambiguities in the codes of practice ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Extracts from BS 5950: Part 1: 1990 are reproduced with the permis- sion of BSI.

A beam is in pure bending where shear force is zero and hence bending moment is constant over a length of the beam. A plane section is assumed to remain plane before and after bending. When shear force is present, the plane section is warped. But for all practical purposes this warping due to shear force may be ignored and the theory of pure bending may be extended to cover the cases of bending where the bending moment is not constant. Assumptions (1) Plane section remains plane (2) Material is homogeneous and isotropic. (3) Lateral strains (anticlastic curvature) are neglected.
