The seventh, thoroughly updated edition of the Steel Designers’ Handbook was prepared
in response to the 1998 revision of the Australian Steel Structures Standard (AS 4100)
and the latest release of the Loading Codes (previously AS 1170 and now renamed as
Structural Design Actions—i.e. AS/NZS 1170). The magnitude of revisions and new
terminology was such that the first three chapters of the text had to be rewritten. An
additional impetus for wide-reaching revisions of the text was the three substantial
amendments to AS 4100 and changes in related Standards (e.g. welding, bolting,
galvanizing, etc.). Finally, the updated literature on the subject and readers’ feedback
highlighted other areas for clarification or improvement.
The design of steel structures by the limit states design method may be seen to be a
somewhat complex subject, and a correct interpretation and application of code
provisions is required for successful outcomes. This Handbook is not intended to be a
self-standing ‘parallel’ steel design code. The authors recommend that readers take this
text as a directory and guide, and subsequently refer to AS 4100, its Commentary and
related Standards, for a full appreciation of current structural steel design requirements.
This text is intended to cover enough material to enable design of everyday structural
frames, members and connections. An expanded list of related Standards and an
extensively re-worked bibliography is included in Appendix A. Combined with the
references listed in the Standards, this should provide a rich background to various design
methods and solutions.
