Features: "The Building Section" introduces the basic technologies of steel structures, covering a wide range of topics such as materials, including new construction steel and new sections; structural systems, explaining recent developments like high-rise megastructures, large-span tension structures, damage-control structures using low-yield steel damping devices, various types of industrialized residential systems, reinforced concrete structures, concrete-filled steel tube structures, and hybrid steel frame-concrete wall structures; joint design, which details not only general principles but also semi-rigid joints, high-strength bolted connections, and their key points and details; and also provides specific introductions to the technical keys and quality management measures in steel structure processing, fabrication, transportation, and installation. "The Building Section" is approximately 250 pages long with nearly 800 illustrations. "The Case Studies Section" includes 91 completed steel structure building cases from recent years, categorized into 12 major groups: high-rise buildings, large-space buildings, towers, open-span roof structures, special frames, composite structures, structures using fire-resistant steel, structures using high-performance steel, stainless steel structures, vibration control structures, and automated construction. In addition to text descriptions, it includes over 1,000 structural layout diagrams and detailed joint construction drawings.
