Structural Design - II

I take an opportunity to present this book entitled ‘Structural Design – II’ to the students of sixth semester of Civil Engineering. The book is strictly written according to the New Revised Syllabus prepared by North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon (2012 Pattern).

Structural Design – II is an important subject for all civil engineering students. So far working, stress method was used for the design. Now-a-days whole world is changing over to limit state method since it is more rational. Hence, the Indian code for steel design IS:800 has been revised in the year 2007.

As far the applications part, large number of graded solved examples have been included in the book. At the end of each chapter, Theoretical Questions have also been included to make the book useful and complete in every respect. Every effort is made to explain details in simple and lucid language. I feel that the book will be helpful to undergraduate students for detail study in Structural Design – II.
