HANDBOOK OF Structural Steelwork 4th Edition
The aim of any design process is the fulfilment of a purpose, and structural
steelwork design is no exception. In building design, the purpose is most
commonly the provision of space that is protected from the elements.
Steelwork is also used to provide internal structures, particularly in industrial
situations.

Steelwork is also used to provide internal structures, particularly in industrial

The designer must ensure that the structure is capable of resisting the
anticipated loading with an adequate margin of safety and that it does not
deform excessively during service. Due regard must be paid to economy
which will involve consideration of ease of manufacture, including cutting,
drilling and welding in the fabrication shop and transport to site.
