Design of Welded Steel Structures principles and practice

Design of welded steel structures principles and practice by Utpal K. Ghosh. The book deals with both the principles and practice of welding technology, which is required for the satisfactory design of welded steel structures and thus should be of deep interest and value not only to the practicing engineers in the design office or in the workshop but also to teachers and students in academia. The material covered in the text has been drawn from the vast pool of accumulated knowledge and experience of distinguished engineers gained through studies in different countries, primarily Europe and America.
