"This is an ideal introduction to designing to the new Steel Eurocodes for civil and structural engineering students, engineers and building control officers."

"This new edition of Structural Design of Steelwork explains the key differences between the steel British Standard and the Eurocodes." "Covering Eurocode 3 (Steel Structural Design) and Eurocode 4 (Design of Composite Steel and Concrete) and using illustrations and worked examples, this book provides a practical way of understanding and satisfying the steel Eurocodes."
