| Sumario: | Readers with a professional interest in steel engineering will find this brilliant book a handbook for quick, goal-oriented reading and implementation. The book covers case study projects that exemplify common norm details and readers will find these superbly illustrated by large-scale drawings. The authors also detail the fundamentals of planning load-bearing structures and provide design and planning help. This is supplemented by explanations of common load-bearing structures using examples of residential, office, hall and industrial buildings. Issues of fire safety and building physics particularly relevant to steel construction are treated alongside the use of steel as a material for cladding facades. What is more, the text includes a systematic overview of sectional steel, sheet metal, and cables and their properties, finishes, and areas of implementation
