The revision of this hallmark text on design of steel structures has been done keeping in mind the current scenario in the area. Several changes have been made to make the book more useful and lucid. Three new chapters, many new topics, solved and unsolved problems have been added and reorganization of chapters has been made to cater to the changing requirements of the students. It is still the best choice for a book on the subject. Salient features the book covers the topics in depth, yet at the same time in a concise and student friendly way. The content has been arranged in a very organized and graded manner- (e.g. Chapter 6 on tension members) the flow is very well structured and topics have been broken into subtopics- increasing clarity. New chapters on : introduction to limit state design, light gauge steel construction and steel sacks. Code being followed in the book : is 800 1984 detailed coverage of high strength friction grip bolts (chapter 2). Prologue to the new code is: 800 2009 has been given in chapter on limit state design (chapter 18) new in this edition : new chapters on: introduction to limit state design (chapter 18) light gauge steel construction (chapter 16) steel sacks (chapter 13) revised/additional content: prologue on new code is: 800 2009 given in (chapter 18). The equivalent lateral force method for determining lateral loads due to earthquakes is described as per the revised code: is: 2002 (chapter 1). Detailed coverage of high strength friction grip bolts (chapter 2).
