This book presents a systematic method of learning how to design perfect joints for steel buildings in industrial projects. It describes the types of joints, details different types of jointing, and covers the mechanics of joints, supported by worked-out examples for different situations. It also includes design charts for full-strength joints of all standard sections. The design and details presented in this book conform to Indian codes and US standards for general building and structural steel work.
Features:

• Provides details on connection design principles and applications from an application point of view.
• Covers practical aspects and good engineering practices related to connection design.
• Explains mechanics of joints with illustrations and sketches.
• Includes design charts for full-strength member joints of standard sections.
• Covers worked-out examples (sketches with supporting calculations) of all typical connections from roofs to base plates.

This book is aimed at professionals in civil and structural engineering, steel structure design, and detailing.
