Features: This book can be used as a textbook for professional courses in civil engineering for undergraduate students and correspondence students, as well as a reference book for technicians engaged in steel structure design, fabrication, and construction. The book primarily introduces the basic principles of steel structures encountered in civil engineering construction projects, such as buildings, underground structures, bridges, and mine engineering. Starting from the characteristics, current applications, and development trends of steel structures, it explains the materials used in steel structures, axially loaded and compression members, bending members, tension and compression-bending members, cables, composite members, and basic structural forms such as trusses, steel frames, and arches. It describes their failure modes, calculation principles, and general calculation methods, and introduces the seismic performance of members and joints.
