Chan, S.S.H. Cho, Y.P. Liu and S.W. Liu  \nDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong  \nJ.C.K. Iu  \nDepartment of Civil Engineering, The Queensland University of Technology, Australia  \nPreface by Chairman  \nThe evolution of the latest Code of Practice for Structural Use of Steel 2011 follows closely with the latest design practice, the desire for more exact analytical approach and the deeper understanding of the effect on stability, and most importantly, the aim to achieve a safe and cost effective design. Since the issuance of the Code, the practicing engineers are presented with a concept on stability that revolutionizes the approach for the analysis and design of steel structures. Many look for explanatory materials, analytical and design software to help them in their course of design. Being a more sustainable material and able to meet the latest design requirements in high-rise and long span structures, structural steel is rapidly gaining popularity. The pressure is mounting for the practicing engineer in the need to design and to comply with the latest Steel Code.  \nThis handbook is not only a supplement to the Code and the Explanatory Materials. It also provides you with the background of the code requirements, guides you to correlate the design assumptions and the actual structural behavior, and illustrates its application with step-by-step design examples including a detailed narrative design approach and application in second order analysis. This is without doubt a dreamed gift to the practicing engineers.  \nOn behalf of the Structural Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, I express our most sincere gratitude to the Working Committee led by Ir Professor Chan Siu Lai, and everyone who has contributed in preparing this handbook. The making of this handbook has not come easy, it has taken up the Working Committee a lot of their own time. It is entirely their dedication and effort in sharing their knowledge and knowhow that make this handbook possible. I sincerely wish you can enjoy and benefit from this handbook  \nIr Edward CHAN Sai Cheong Chairman,  \nStructural Division  \nHong Kong Institution of Engineers April 2018  \nForewords  \nIn 2002, a contract was initiated by the Buildings Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government to draft a limit state design code for steel structures used in Hong Kong SAR region. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Ove Arup and Partners (Hong Kong) Limited by then jointly formed a joint venture to bid for the project which was awarded in July of the same year. The first author was involved as one of the principal consultants ofthis project and this book is written with an aim of assisting the users of the Code of which the official name is “Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Steel 2005/2011” published by the Buildings Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government. The code can also be downloaded at web [http://www.bd.gov.hk/english/documents/index_crlist.html](http://www.bd.gov.hk/english/documents/index_crlist.html).  \nThis book is written for use with the Code of Practice for the Structural Uses of Steel Hong Kong 2005 and 2011 versions (The HK Code) which are under the direction of a modern limit state design philosophy, the simulation-based design (SBD) concept which is actually embedded in the second-order direct and advanced analysis referred in many other national codes. SBD makes use of the first and second variation of the energy principle for checking of strength and stability and it encompasses various non-linear analyses but excludes the firstorder linear, rigid plastic and elastic P-􀀧-only second-order direct analyses.
