Now, however, engineers realise that the viability and safety of steel structures depend on good detailing which allows for economical fabrication and final erection.

It explains detailing practice and conventions, includes detailing data for standard sections, bolts and welds, and covers a wide range of structures, including single and multi-storey buildings, towers and bridges
