The content covers the need and use of structures, structural materials, structural idealization and modelling, documentation and quantities, fabrication, transport and erection. It then develops structural steel design through design theories, limit states, loads and partial safety factors, code-based methods (BS 5950 and Eurocode 3), stability, accidental damage, and serviceability checks. Subsequent chapters address preliminary design, single-storey one-way-spanning buildings, and multistorey building design.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research
