A few books are already available in the market on the design of steel structures.
These design have been drawn mainly from various Engineering Examination Papers of Indian and London Universities and thus cover a wide variety.
After the second edition of the book in 1965 wherein several additions were made like semi-rigid connection and frames with such joints, light gauge steel structures and aluminium structures, the book remauned essentially unchanged and it was simplyreprinted during the intervening period.
The book as such should serve the needs of IIT and engineering college students for their first course in design of steel structures.
