Abstract

Steel design codes are in the process of evolution over the years. The design approach has been changing over the years. The Indian codes now follow limit state design approach in line with other inter-national codes. The latest version of the Code of Practice for general construction in steel, IS 800-2007 is based on Limit State Method of design and it supersedes the previous dated version of this code IS 800-1984 which is based on elastic method, [6]. The design based on limit state method involves many equations and parameters. Therefore the design of steel structural members and connections involves tedious equations. In this study, design tools using microsoft excel spreadsheets and charts have been prepared for the design of flexure members which will save the time of engineer’s considerably. Similar tools have also been developed for British Standards BS 5950-2000 and American Standards AISC 360-2010.
