This press release announces a new book titled "Practical Design of Steel Structures" by Karuna Moy Ghosh. The book presents practical design examples and calculations for a multi-bay steel structure in compliance with Eurocode 3. It allows engineers and students to appreciate the full design process through analysis of the whole structure and design of individual members. The book considers structural analysis, member design, connections, and includes case studies of industrial building components.

PRESS RELEASE

A practical new text, in full compliance with EC3

Practical Design of Steel Structures


Karuna Moy Ghosh, CEng, FIStructE, formerly
Chief Structural Engineer, Kaiser Engineers, Inc. UK

Rigorous analysis of a complete


structure
Complete compliance with EC3
Full examination of all conditions
necessary prior to analysis

Practical Design of Steel Structures presents practical design examples and


calculations for a multi-bay, steel-framed industrial building under the actions
of a variety of loads (travelling crane loads, dead and imposed loads and wind
forces).
For the first time, engineers and students alike can appreciate the complete
design process through the analysis of the whole structure and the design of
structural members, all in compliance with Eurocode (EC)3. The calculations
are presented in a simple and lucid way, employing a step-by-step approach stating the design philosophy, design
considerations and clarifying the referred clauses of the code of practice. However, before analysing the structure and the
design of its structural elements, it is necessary to understand the theoretical background and how the structure behaves
under the actions of various loads, based upon practical design and field experience.
The author considers the structural arrangement with respect to selection and availability of construction material, the
cost within the scheduled construction programme and the overall budget. In addition he examines the buildability of the
structure with regard to space restriction, method of construction and the geotechnical conditions of the site.
The essence of this book is the simplicity and clarity of approach in the complete analysis of the whole structure and the
structural design of every member. Augmented by design sketches, this book will prove valuable to practising engineers in
design offices and students on structures courses.

Contents: General principles and practices. Structural analysis and design. Design of gantry girder (members subjected
to bi-axial bending). Design of welded and bolted connections. Purlins and side rails, roof trusses, roof girders,
intermediate columns and horizontal roof bracings. Case study I: Analysis and design of structure of melting shop. Case
study II: Design of gable end framing system along row. Case study III: Design of vertical bracing system for wind and
crane tractive forces stanchion lines A and B. Appendix
Readership: This will be of particular interest to practitioners in design for steel structures and students in civil and
structural engineering.

ISBN 978-1904445-92-0 240 × 170mm 224pp illustrated with design sketches £40 softback June, 2010

About the author: Mr. Ghosh has over 40 years experience in design offices and on overseas projects in countries such
as India, Italy, Austria and Jordan, etc. He has been involved in projects such as the Channel Tunnel, Limehouse Link
Tunnel and Heathrow Express Tunnel Link and is also the author of two other books on practical design.
