Publisher's Synopsis
A major problem in the use of structural steelwork is the lack of sufficient design and detailing expertise. This manual provides a comprehensive introduction to producing tender and working drawings for the fabrication of structural steelwork. Typical structures in common use such as single storey buildings, bridges and industrial structures have been drawn and detailed to show the main elements and connections between them. Details of bolted and welded connections are provided both for works and site, and practical details according with contemporary practice are given to facilitate economic fabrication.
