Features: This book adopts the form of a comparison between new and old codes of the "Code for Design of Steel Structures," comprehensively introducing the main contents of the newly revised code GB50017-2003 and the original old code GBJ17-98, as well as the differences between the new and old codes. It also details the additions, deletions, modifications, and supplements made in the new code compared to the old one. The book primarily focuses on the content of the new code GB50017-2003, systematically explaining the requirements of the new code's provisions, the understanding and interpretation of the provisions, and the practical application of design calculation formulas in the provisions. At the same time, to suit the reading needs of a broad audience, the book is completely written according to the structural format of the "Code for Design of Steel Structures" GB50017-2003. To help readers quickly grasp and apply the new code's content, the book provides concise introductions for provisions that are the same between the old and new codes or have minor revisions. For provisions with significant revisions or newly added in the new code, detailed explanations are provided. Additionally, each section of the chapters is organized as "Introduction to the Main Revisions of This Chapter," and numerous examples of steel structure design calculations are included throughout the chapters, making the book more instructive. This book is suitable for professionals engaged in the design, construction, and research of steel structure engineering, as well as for relevant technical personnel and university teachers and students for learning and reference.
