Design of Joints in Steel and Composite Structures : Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures. Part 1-8 Design of Joints. Eurocode 4: Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures

column bases, and beam and column splice configurations, under different loading situations (axial forces, shear forces, bending moments and their combinations). The book also briefly summarises the available knowledge relating to the application of the Eurocode rules to joints under fire, fatigue, earthquake, etc., and also to joints in a structure subjected to exceptional loadings, where the risk of progressive collapse has to be mitigated. Finally, there are some worked examples, plus references to already published examples and to design tools, which will provide practical help to practitioners. [Publisher's Text]
