Summary:

Steel is one of the most versatile materials available to architects and designers. It can be used for virtually every part of a building, from structure, foundations and cladding to roofs, frames and minor fittings.
This book covers every aspect of the use of steel in buildings and provides comprehensive reference material for all those concerned with architecture and constructional design. The concise presentation of factual information makes this book a highly accessible reference manual.
Contributions by 29 leading architects, engineers and lecturers are presented in six main parts: history of iron and steel construction, materials, principles of steel framing, steel construction, secondary steel elements, and outstanding contemporary steel architecture. Useful appendices include bibliographic references on codes and standards, and a list of advisory services for the steel construction industry.
. The text is highly illustrated with over 1000 photographs, plans, section drawing and construction details of steel buildings in the UK, Europe, North America, Australasia and the Far East. Architecture and Construction in Steel provides a unique source of inspiration and reference for architects, engineers, designers, construction professionals and students, and will prove a valuable addition to any academic or practitioner's library.
