This text aims to develop an understanding of Limit State Design as applied to structural steelwork. The use of the relevant codes of practice, in particular BS 5950: Part 1, is explained and demonstrated in numerous worked examples and illustrations. The treatment is both extensive and comprehensive, including a selection of design examples which are presented in a format typical of that used in a design office in order to encourage students to adopt a methodical and rational approach in preparing structural calculations.
