​
Summary: Comprehensive design guides compatible with South African National Standards are essential, especially those offering insights, commentary, and worked examples. This book aims to bridge the gap, providing an understanding of the principles of structural steel design. The book includes accompanying user-friendly design Excel spreadsheets that offer comprehensive design calculations. These spreadsheets are designed to simplify the design process by providing convenient tools for engineers. They are structured to reference relevant clauses from the South African National Standards (SANS) to ensure accuracy and compliance. With minimal input parameters required, these Excel spreadsheets aim to minimize confusion and streamline the design workflow.
