DESIGN THE MEMBER. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM. DELIVER THE BUILDING.
Structural steel design is rarely difficult because of one isolated equation. The real challenge is knowing how loads move through the building, which limit state controls, what assumptions the analysis model is actually making, how connections affect the force path, and how code requirements become drawings that can be fabricated and erected.
Structural Steel Design for Canadian Buildings: A Designer’s Handbook is a practical, systems-based guide to designing steel buildings in the Canadian context. Developed around limit states design, NBC 2025, and CSA S16:24, this 560-page handbook connects structural mechanics, member behaviour, connections, stability, seismic response, detailing, construction, and professional design workflow in one coordinated reference.
FROM CALCULATION TO ENGINEERING JUDGMENT
Rather than treating beams, columns, braces, connections, diaphragms, and foundations as unrelated calculations, the book shows how they work together as a structural system. It develops the reasoning behind design checks, demonstrates how assumptions influence resistance and behaviour, and repeatedly brings the reader back to equilibrium, deformation, load path, constructability, and verification.
Inside, you will learn how to:
• Apply the Canadian limit-states framework and organize loads, combinations, load paths, and design decisions.
• Design and assess tension members, compression members, beams, shear-critical elements, beam-columns, HSS members, and torsion-sensitive components.
• Work through bolted and welded connections, gusset plates, splice components, base plates, anchor rods, and connection force transfer.
• Understand composite steel-concrete floor systems, building stability, bracing, diaphragms, collectors, second-order effects, and lateral-system behaviour.
• Navigate seismic steel design in Canada, including SFRS selection, ductility, capacity design, drift, irregularities, protected mechanisms, and seismic force transfer.
• Address serviceability, vibration, fire-protection interfaces, durability, fabrication tolerances, erection stability, field changes, and quality control.
• Carry design intent from structural scheme and analysis model through coordinated calculations, connection forces, BIM/drawing review, and issued construction documents.
WORKED EXAMPLES THAT TEACH THE DECISION PROCESS
The handbook includes worked examples, practice problems, design-review exercises, equation summaries, checklists, a glossary, and a consolidated index. The examples are structured to help readers identify governing behaviour, test assumptions, check order of magnitude, and understand why a design decision is appropriate—not simply repeat a calculation sequence.
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
This handbook is written for upper-level civil and structural engineering students, graduate engineers, structural engineers in training, practising building designers, engineering technologists, instructors, and professionals who need a clearer bridge between steel-design theory and Canadian building practice. It can be read progressively as a learning text or used by experienced designers as a topic-by-topic desk reference.
For real projects, the book also reinforces an essential professional habit: confirm the governing jurisdiction, adopted building code, referenced standards, project specifications, and applicable professional requirements before using any design provision.
BUILD STEEL DESIGN KNOWLEDGE THAT CONNECTS
If you want a structural steel reference that goes beyond isolated formulas and helps you see the complete building—from first load path to final drawing—add Structural Steel Design for Canadian Buildings: A Designer’s Handbook to your engineering library today.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
