- Retained major features of the third edition and added new worked examples.
- Revised most chapters, including rewriting the chapter on loads to meet the provisions of the revised loading code, SANS 10160: 2019. Aspects of vibration and seismic loading have been included.
- Practical approach with realistic examples for understanding design methodologies.
- Design flowcharts and user-friendly Excel spreadsheets provided. Spreadsheets have comprehensive, easy-to-follow design calculations and references to SANS.
- Comprehensive, fully worked examples for all structural elements.
- Structural and civil engineering students at universities and technology universities.
- Professionals encountering the subject for the first time or needing to understand changes to SANS 10160 and SANS 10162.
- This book is also valuable for students studying architecture, construction technology, building science, and quantity surveying, including those from TVET colleges. They can benefit from selected chapters tailored to their curriculum. Moreover, the included Excel Spreadsheets provide useful tools for their learning and application of structural steelwork design principles.
- Overview of the regulatory building environment, structural risks, and material properties;
- Step-by-step practical approach to determine design loadings and structural element design;
- All design examples are presented in a clear and accessible manner, enabling readers to follow the design methodology easily. Each example is carefully structured to facilitate cross-checking of the relevant clauses in the Standards, ensuring accuracy and adherence. Additionally, including comprehensive Excel spreadsheets provides readers with valuable assistance in performing and tracking design calculations, further enhancing their understanding and application of the material.
- In cases where SANS 10162 lacks a comprehensive design methodology, this book provides references and details of international codes such as Eurocode 3. The theories outlined in the Eurocode are presented in a manner that may eliminate the need for constant code referencing.
- Part 2 of SANS 10162 addresses the design of thin, cold-formed steel. This book extensively covers the theory and fundamental design aspects of this topic.
- A well-presented example of a complete industrial building, incorporating various design aspects of structural steel, is included, along with references to relevant design standards.
- Detailed coverage of critical design considerations for fire hazards and site construction activities is provided in the book.
