"Building with Steel is a practical guide to structural steelwork. Using case studies, customary typical details are illustrated and analysed by way of large-scale drawings. The principles behind the design of load-bearing structures show which types of structure are advisable in which situations and constitute a useful aid for design and planning work. To complement this, the book includes an overview of steelwork connections plus suitable means of connection illustrated by way of typical, modern forms of construction." "Everyday loadbearing structures are explained by examples of residential and office buildings as well as single-storey sheds. Questions regarding fire protection and building performance, especially relevant for structural steelwork, are investigated, and steel as a facade cladding material is another theme addressed in detail." --Book Jacket
