Steel constructions are not limited, as known, only to building structures, for which the design of members and connections is mainly covered by parts 1.1 and 1.8 of Eurocode 3 respectively.

The advantages of steel as a structural material make it suitable for a wide range of other specialized constructions, which are dedicated to the remaining parts of Eurocode 3.

This book contains twenty-eight examples of application of the regulations, which refer to such specific issues that are frequently encountered in practice and, more specifically, in design:

- beams of thin sections, cold-formed
- composite beams with transverse and longitudinal reinforcements
- beams with openings in their web
- support brackets
- chimneys, silos, tanks
- elements subjected to fatigue
- elements under fire conditions
- rolling crane beams
- multi-storey buildings against earthquakes

The book is addressed to every engineer and mechanical engineering student interested in delving into steel constructions.
