Practical guide to the design of structural steel elements for buildings, structured into general guidance, general design data, and design tables. Guidance aligns with BS EN 1993-1-1:2005 Eurocode 3 and associated UK National Annex and relevant Eurocodes, with worked examples where appropriate. The scope focuses on steel element design rather than complete structures, explicitly not covering issues such as overall stability, component interaction, and overall building analysis.
