Advanced Steel Design of Structures

About this book

Advanced Steel Design of Structures examines the design principles of steel members under special loads and covers special geometric forms and conditions not typically presented in standard design books. It explains advanced concepts in a simple manner using numerous illustrative examples and MATLAB® codes.

Features:

  • Provides analysis of members under unsymmetrical bending

  • Includes coverage of structures with special geometry and their use in offshore applications for ultra-deep water oil and gas exploration

  • Presents numerical modeling and analysis of steel members under fire conditions, impact, and blast loads

  • Includes MATLAB® examples that will aid in the capacity building of civil engineering students approaching this complex subject

Written for a broad audience, the presentation of design concepts of steel members will be suitable for upper-level undergraduate students. The advanced design theories for offshore structures under special loads will be an attractive feature for post-graduate students and researchers. Practicing engineers will also find the book useful, as it includes numerous solved examples and practical tutorials.

1Introduction

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Steel, as a construction material, possesses a lot of salient advantages. High ratio of strength to weight overcomes the increase in cost (Chandrasekaran & Gupta, 2007a; Chandrasekaran & Srivastava, 2007; Chandrasekaran, Dubey and Tripati, 2006). Further, a lower life-cycle cost resulting from rapid construction process yields an early return on investment (RoI). Special structural properties of steel, namely increased ductility and toughness to resist accidental loads, make it the best choice for the infrastructure industry (Chandrasekaran et al., 2005, 2008a, 2010b, 2011b, 2006; Chandrasekaran & Gupta, 2007b). Convenience, steel possess to recycling, repair and retrofit are added advantages, both in commercial and eco-friendly points of view (Chandrasekaran et al., 2005, 2006c, 2007, 2003). With an increased initial cost of steel, as a construction material, it can result in a low life-cycle cost because of its early return (Chandrasekaran & Chandak, 2004b, 2003b; Chandrasekaran et al., 2003; Chandrasekaran, Dubey et al., 2006a). Steel structures enjoy lower periodic maintenance in addition to a lower cost of dismantling the structure. Further, from the architectural perspective, steel also possesses 3Fs namely feasibility, functionality and suitability for form-dominant design (Chandrasekaran and Roy, 2004a, 2004b, 2006; Chandrasekaran & Srivastava, 2006; Chandrasekaran et al., 2005, 2005a, 2007c, 2010a; Chandrasekaran & Roy, 2006; Chandrasekaran et al., 2005b). In particular, steel is the most commonly used construction material for offshore structures (Chandrasekaran, 2015a, 2015b; Chandrasekaran & Chandak, 2004a; Chandrasekaran, Jain et al., 2007a, 2007c). It is necessary to use steel in off...
