Overview

""Design of Steel Structures"" serves as a comprehensive foundational text on the principles and practical applications of structural steel engineering. Authored by Leonard Church Urquhart and Charles Edward O'Rourke, this work provides a detailed exploration of the methods used to design safe, efficient, and durable steel frameworks for various types of constructions. The book meticulously covers the properties of structural steel and the essential theories governing tension, compression, and flexural members. The text delves into specific structural components, including plate girders, roof trusses, and bridge structures, offering clear explanations of the calculations required for riveted and welded connections. By blending mathematical precision with engineering intuition, ""Design of Steel Structures"" illustrates the transition from theoretical stress analysis to the physical assembly of skyscrapers and industrial bridges. It remains a vital historical reference for understanding the evolution of civil engineering standards and the technical rigor that shaped modern infrastructure. This work is an essential resource for students of engineering history and professionals seeking to understand the classic methodologies of 20th-century steel design.
