ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with the design of structural steelwork elements and composite construction to British Standard 5950. The chapter describes with the aid of a number of fully worked examples the design of the following elements: beams and joists, struts and columns, composite floors and beams, and bolted and welded connections. The section on beams and joists covers the design of members that are fully laterally restrained as well as members subject to lateral torsional buckling. The section on columns includes the design of cased columns and column base plates.
