STRUCTURAL STEEL FUNDAMENTALS - AN ENGINEERING AND METALLURGICAL PRIMER

The purpose of this book is to bridge gaps that the author perceives as existing between structural engineers, metallurgists and students in those two professions. The book provides a background knowledge of steel behaviour deep enough to allow the immediate prediction of steel response in most circumstances by engineers designing in steel. It is relatively simple in its treatment but complex in its range, and provides a source of information and a unified background to steel. It is strongly biased to conventional steels and their application and covers the following topics: equilibrium, stability, buckling, structural systems and characteristics, statistical aspects of structures, structural failure, loads and load combinations, determinant and indeterminant systems, the upper and lower bound theorem, mechanical properties of steel, elasticity, shear stresses, stress-strain relations, plane stress and plane strain, yield conditions, plasticity, strain-rate effects, necking and ductile fracture, strain ageing, thermal effects, stress reversal, hardness, fracture, fatigue, fracture mechanics, notches, triaxial stresses, fracture initiation, cod (crack opening displacement), crack extension and propagation, pellini fad (fracture appearance diagram), steel manufacture, grain size, stainless steel, metallurgy, welding, electrodes, residual stresses, plates, stretching, drawing, forming, shear lag, fine, influence lines, matrix analysis, beams, universal sections, pipes, pressure vessels, columns, design codes, planning, economics and costs.
