Steel Detailers' Manual

This highly illustrated manual provides practical guidance on
structural steelwork detailing. It:
· describes the common structural shapes in use and how
they are joined to form members and complete structures
· explains detailing practice and conventions
· provides detailing data for standard sections, bolts and
welds
· emphasises the importance of tolerances in order to
achieve proper site fit-up
· discusses the important link between good detailing and
construction costs
Examples of structures include single and multi-storey
buildings, towers and bridges. The detailing shown will be suitable
in principle for fabrication and erection in many countries, and
the sizes shown will act as a guide to preliminary design.
The third edition has been revised to take account of the new
Eurocodes on structural steel work, together with their National
Annexes. The new edition also takes account of developments in 3-D
modelling techniques and it includes more CAD standard library
details.
