A structural design can be executed only after drawings are supplied to the site engineers and the technical staff. Hence, it is very important that a design engineers should be provided with correct drawings. Due to this importance civil engineering students are taught not only design but drawing also. Design of steel structures as per IS: 800-2007 is briefly presented in this book and detailed drawings are presented. Students of Civil engineering will find it useful for understanding the course Design and Drawing of Steel Structures.
