Description
Steel Design series is a set of five high-quality English textbooks which were originally published in Dutch by Bouwen met Staal. The translation is checked by The Steel Construction Institute.
The text is fully based on the EN version of the Eurocodes using default and/or recommended values. When a country can make a nationale choice – or when non-contradictory complementary information may be used – this is indicated in the margin by the following symbol NA .
Annexes can easily be added to each textbook providing the national choices made for each country. Free annexes are already available for The Netherlands and Switserland.
High-quality textbooks are crucial to develop an interest in steel structures for students and clients, architects and designers in practive. However, many textbooks on steel structures
are commissioned on a low budget, resulting in material that lacks imagination and tends to feature, at best, moderate illustrations. The Steel Design series is intended for high school
and university level students, as well as designers who are not yet specialised in steel and steel construction. Therefore, it is vital that lecturers have access to up-to-date textbooks that
offer clear and concise explanations, while inspiring readers about the possibilities of steel through full colour graphics and images.
