Design of structural members subjected to axial tension and axial compression using BS 5950:2000 and Eurocode 3

The report focuses on the design of bolted and welded steel members subjected to axial tension using BS 5950 and EC 3. Worked examples are used to compare the two design codes more effectively. Comparison is done on the design methods, concepts and the ease of usage.BS 5950 and EC 3 each has its own...
