Steelwork offers the opportunity for architectural expression, as well as being structurally versatile and adaptable material. Good detailing is vital because it affects structural performance, costs, buildability and, perhaps most importantly, appearance. Whilst the choice of the structural form is often the province of the structural engineer, architects should have a broad appreciation of the factors leading to the selection of the structure and its details. Traditionally, most detailing of connections is the responsibility of the steelwork fabricator, but for exposed steelwork, detailing is of much more interest to the architect, as it impacts on the aesthetics of the structure. In this respect it is important that designers appreciate the common fabrication and erection techniques which may exert a strong influence on the method and approach to the detailing of modern steelwork in buildings. Architectural Design in Steel is a design guide to the detailing of exposed steelwork in buildings. It is a guide which offers technical guidance and general principles, as well as examples of best practice. It covers all aspects from manufacture to detailing, specification of finishes and fabrication, providing architects, as well as engineers, with essential information to inform the design.

At its heart, this book is an examination of how a new structural material ? mass-produced steel ? came to be first applied to the buildings of one of the world?s great cities. The focus is evolution and change in London?s buildings and architecture in the late Victorian and early Edwardian period; its emphasis is unashamedly constructional. A great deal has been written about the shape, style and ornament of metropolitan buildings of the period, but comparatively little on their structural anatomy and physiology. The first part examines the technological developments and economic forces that brought structural steel into being. Central to this was the invention of the Bessemer and Siemens-Martin processes which revolutionised steelmaking and enabled the mass production of a metal which outmatched both cast and wrought iron. Steel became the pillar of a new phase of industrialisation and urbanisation throughout the world, and London, where Henry Bessemer had conducted his initial steelmaking experiments, was one of the first cities to make use of it

The subject of coupled instabilities is a fascinating field of research with a wide range of practical applications, particularly in the analysis and design of metal structures. Despite the excellent body of existing results concerning coupled instability structural behaviour, this situation has not yet been adequately translated into design rules or specifications. In fact, only to a small extent do modern design codes for metal structures take advantage of the significant progress made in the field.This book, which contains all the invited general reports and selected papers presented at the

The plastic analysis method has been used extensively by engineers for designing steel structures. Simpler structures can be analyzed using the basic virtual work formulation, but more complex frames are evaluated with specialist computer software. This new book sets out a method for carrying out plastic analysis of complex structures without the need for specialist tools.The book provides an introduction to the use of linear programming techniques for plastic analysis. This powerful and advanced method for plastic analysis is important in an automated computational environment, in par

Diagrids are load-bearing structures made of steel diagonal grids. They were first used in the great buildings of the turn of the millennium, such as the Swiss Re Tower in London ("The Gherkin") and the Hearst Magazine Tower in New York City. Dagrids owe their ensuing popularity not only to their stunning aesthetic value, but also to their very tangible benefits: lateral loading capacity, a massive saving of material, a significant gain in open, usable floor area, and increased flexibility. At its opening in 2014, the Leadenhall Building in London will be the first skyscraper without a bearing inner core-thanks to a diagrid structure.This book explains comprehensively for the first time all of the aspects involved in this new bearing structure. The author, experienced in teaching, research, and practice (recent publication: Understanding Steel Design. An Architectural Design Manual, 2011), has tracked the development of this technology from its beginnings and employs photographic documentation of the construction phases of many diagrid structures. Diagrids sind Tragwerke aus diagonalen Stahlfachwerkgittern, die zuerst bei spektakulären Großbauten der Jahrtausendwende wie dem Swiss Re Tower in London ("die Gurke") und dem Hearst Magazine Tower in New York eingesetzt wurden. Die Verbreitung, die Diagrids seitdem gefunden haben, verdanken sie nicht nur ihrer atemberaubenden Ästhetik, sondern vor allem handfesten Vorteilen: einer massiven Materialersparnis, einem signifikanten Gewinn an frei nutzbarer Geschossfläche und einem Zuwachs an Flexibilität. Bei seiner Eröffnung 2014 wird das Leadenhall Building in London das erste Hochhaus ohne tragenden inneren Kern sein - dank des Diagrid-Tragwerks. Dieses Buch erklärt erstmals umfassend alle Aspekte dieses neuen Tragwerkssystems. Die in Lehre, Forschung und Praxis erfahrene Autorin (zuletzt Stahl verstehen. Entwerfen und Konstruieren mit Stahl, 2011) hat die Entwicklung der Technologie von Beginn an begleitet und greift für die detaillierte Darstellung auf fotografische Dokumentationen der Bauphasen zahlreicher Diagrid-Konstruktionen zurück.
