The revision of SABS 0162, now referred to as SANS 10162, led CSIR Building and Construction Technology to publish a second edition of the guide, Design of Structural Steelwork to SANS 10162. The book has been carefully revised in line with the current revisions to SABS 0162 and provides engineers and students in structural engineering with the fundamental theory of practical design rules, based on the principles of limit-states philosophy. A practical approach has been adopted throughout the text, with a number of realistic examples of useful applications to assist the reader in understanding design methodologies. All design examples have been structured in such a manner that the reader can easily follow the methodology and cross-check the necessary clauses in the code. The book concentrates on the design of tension members, beams, beam- columns, composite beams, plate girders and connections. Important aspects of fire-engineering design, plastic design, structural loading, trusses and lattice-girder design and bracings are also covered. Where SANS 10162 does not give a comprehensive design methodology, this text provides references to and details of other international codes, particularly the Eurocode 3. The theories stipulated in the Eurocode are well laid out, so that the reader does not need to refer to that code. The design of thin, cold-formed steel is dealt with in Part 2 of SANS 10162. The theory and fundamental design aspects are discussed comprehensively in this book. An example of a complete industrial building that incorporates most of the design aspects of structural steel design, with references to the relevant design codes, is well presented. This book will be an invaluable guide for structural and civil engineering students at universities and technikons. Reading the book requires no prior knowledge of the subject, other than of elementary structural and stress-analysis techniques. The publication could also prove useful to graduates who may be coming across the subject for the first time, or engineers who need to know and understand the philosophy behind the current changes to the former SABS 0162. Students studying architecture, building science and quantity surveying can also use selected chapters of this book.
