Features: This book is written according to the new codes such as the Load Code for the Design of Building Structures (GB5009-2001), Unified Standard for Reliable Design of Building Structures (GB50068-2001), and Code for Design of Steel Structures (GB50017-2003). The book systematically elaborates on the basic principles of steel structure component design: it provides detailed introductions to the materials used in steel structures, connection methods, axial tension and compression members, bending members, as well as tension-bending and compression-bending members. Emphasizing both theory and design, the book includes some examples and a moderate number of exercises. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of civil engineering, and can also be referenced by structural designers, construction personnel, and researchers.
