Structural detailing consists of transforming the work of a structural engineer into working drawings for the use of the builder. The intended reader of this book is young and inexperienced and has not yet mastered bending moments and shearing forces, principal stresses and limit states, areas of steel and equivalent lengths. For this reason the book has been written for the reader with little or no prior knowledge of structural mechanics and simple explanations are given of the behaviour of structural components in service. Similarly it is assumed that the reader will have had little or no site experience and, in any case, will have little real understanding of the processes that are going on. Here, again, an attempt has been made to describe the construction process, insofar as it affects the work of the detailer. Throughout the text appropriate clauses and tables are quoted and, in part III, extracts are given, which will enable the reader to practice detailing other structures in steel, concrete and timber, following the examples given in each chapter.
