Reprint of the original, first published in 1877.
This classic manual for structural steelwork design was first published in 1956. Since then, it has sold many thousands of copies worldwide. The fifth edition is the first major revision for 20 years and is the first edition to be fully based on limit state design, now used as the primary design method, and on the UK code of practice, BS 5950. It provides, in a single volume, all you need to know about structural steel design.
Excerpt from Strength and Calculation of Dimensions of Iron and Steel Constructions: With Reference to the Latest Experiments Many experiments have been lately made in Germany, England, Sweden, and America, to determine the properties of iron and steel. We propose to give in this brochure a general view of the results obtained, and of their consequences, without much detail, but so complete as to place practical engineers at the present stand-point of critical judgment. These experiments show (what every one admits) that the methods hitherto employed in calculating the dimensions of iron and steel constructions have been entirely wrong; and that the security of structures, in which their results have been applied, though with great expenditure of material, is much less than supposed. Several methods for attaining better results have been projected; one of which was adopted by the Bavarian Government. The brief sketch of the several methods, given in the Appendix, shows that Launhardt's deserves the preference. This is so obvious, and meets with so few objections, that it is unsatisfactory only because of its limited application. A formula like that of Launhardt was needed for the case of resistance to alternating tenison and compression. Such a formula is here deduced. With it we have all the requisites for a simple and rational determination of dimensions. It is to be hoped that no one will wait to consider it until more bridges are destroyed. The chief reason that no one of the new methods has been generally employed is, that no one of them is complete.

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.
