"Understanding Steel Design" is based on an overall approach to understand how to design and build with steel from the perspective of its architectural applications. Steel is a material whose qualities have enormous potential for the creation of dynamic architecture. In an innovative approach to the reality of working with steel, the book takes a new look both at the state of tried-and-tested techniques and at emerging projects. Hundreds of steel structures have been observed, analyzed and appraised for this book. In-depth construction photographs by the author are complemented by technical illustrations created to look more closely at systems and details. Drawings supplied by fabricators allow greater insight into a method of working with currrent digital drawing tools. Das Gestalten und Bauen mit Stahl aus den Anwendungen in der Architektur heraus neu verstehen - so lautet das Prinzip dieser Grundlegung für einen der wichtigsten Bereiche des Entwerfens und Konstruierens. Aus einem Fundus von hunderten Stahlbauten, deren Entstehung verfolgt, analysiert und mit langjähriger Erfahrung in Lehre und Fortbildung aufgearbeitet wurde, entstand ein Werk, das einen anderen Zugang zur Realität des Arbeitens mit Stahl eröffnet: einen neuen Blick auf den erprobten Stand der Dinge und ebenso auf zukünftige Potenziale, wie sie sich heute in avancierten Projekten über alle Länder- und Normengrenzen hinaus abzeichnen. Das Buch behandelt die klassischen Themen, Probleme und Lösungen von Material und Baumethoden, Tragwerk und Hülle, Elementen und Verbindungen, Brandschutz und Nachhaltigkeit usw. Besondere Beachtung finden das Zusammenspiel mit anderen Materialien wie Glas und Holz, Anforderungen an unverkleidete Stahlkonstruktionen sowie anspruchsvolle Tragwerkslösungen (Diagrids). Konkret und anschaulich werden die Aussagen anhand ausgeführter Lösungen getroffen. Dieser nutzerorientierten Haltung entspricht eine adäquate Form der Darstellung: statt Text- und Bildebene zu trennen, bilden Text, Bildlegeniden, Fotos und Zeichnungen gleichberechtigt und eng aufeinander bezogen den kontinuierlichen Zusammenhang des einzelnen Kapitels. Unterstrichen wird das Leitprinzip von Stahl verstehen von eigens angefertigten, aufwendigen Schemazeichnungen, die den Aufbau und die Funktionsweisen der Konstruktionen anschaulich werden lassen.

Steels and computer-based modelling are fast growing fields in materials science as well as structural engineering, demonstrated by the large amount of recent literature. Steels: From Materials Science to Structural Engineering combines steels research and model development, including the application of modelling techniques in steels.  The latest research includes structural engineering modelling, and novel, prototype alloy steels such as heat-resistant steel, nitride-strengthened ferritic/martensitic steel and low nickel maraging steel.  Researchers studying steels will find the topics vital to their work.  Materials experts will be able to learn about steels used in structural engineering as well as modelling and apply this increasingly important technique in their steel materials research and development. .

Advanced Analysis and Design for Fire Safety of Steel Structures systematically presents the latest findings on behaviours of steel structural components in a fire, such as the catenary actions of restrained steel beams, the design methods for restrained steel columns, and the membrane actions of concrete floor slabs with steel decks. Using a systematic description of structural fire safety engineering principles, the authors illustrate the important difference between behaviours of an isolated structural element and the restrained component in a complete structure under fire conditions. The book will be an essential resource for structural engineers who wish to improve their understanding of steel buildings exposed to fires. It is also an ideal textbook for introductory courses in fire safety for master’s degree programs in structural engineering, and is excellent reading material for final-year undergraduate students in civil engineering and fire safety engineering. Furthermore, it successfully bridges the information gap between fire safety engineers, structural engineers and building inspectors, and will be of significant interest to architects, code officials, building designers and fire fighters. Dr. Guoqiang Li is a Professor at the College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University, China; Dr. Peijun Wang is an Associate Professor at the School of Civil Engineering of Shandong University, China.
