Summary

This classic manual on structural steelwork design was first published in 1955, since when it has sold many tens of thousands of copies worldwide. For the seventh edition all chapters have been comprehensively reviewed, revised to ensure they reflect current approaches and best practice, and brought in to compliance with EN 1993: Design of Steel Structures. The Steel Designers' Manual continues to provide, in one volume, the essential knowledge for the design of conventional steelwork.
