Features: This book adopts the form of a comparison between the old and new versions of the "Code for Design of Steel Structures," comprehensively introducing the main content 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 code's articles, the understanding and interpretation of the article content, and the practical application of design calculation formulas in the articles. At the same time, to suit the reading needs of a broad audience, this 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, the book provides brief introductions for articles with similar content or minor revisions between the old and new codes, while offering detailed explanations for articles with significant revisions or new additions. Additionally, each section of the chapters is arranged 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 steel structure engineering design, construction, and research, as well as for relevant technical personnel and university students for learning and reference.
