Preface to the third edition This is the third edition of the Structural Steelwork: Design to Limit State Theory by T.J. MacGinley and T.C. Ang, which proved to be very popular with both students and practising engineers. The change of authorship was forced upon by the deceased of Mr T.J. MacGinley. All the chapters have been updated and rearranged to comply with the latest revision of the BS 5950-1:2000 Structural use of steelwork in building - Part 1: Code of practice for design rolled and welded sections, it may be used as a stand-alone text or in conjunction with BS 5950. The book contains detailed explanation of the principles underlying steel design and is intended for students reading for civil and/or structural engineering degrees in universities. It should be useful to final year students involved in design projects and also sufficiently practical for practising engineers and architects who require an introduction to the latest revision of BS 5950. Every topic is illustrated with fully worked examples and problems are also provided for practice
