Twelfth edition, 2009 of this book is based on IS: 800-1984 as amended in 1997 and also newly revised IS: 883-1994 (code of practice for timber structures). New code of practice, IS: 800 is likely to be issued soon. It is likely to introduce ``Limit State Design of Steel Structures''. Authors have distributed the text in thirty four chapters in main text and one chapter `on Location of Shear Centre' in Appendix A. Concept of Shear Centre and bending axis is important and significant and essentially needed to understand simple theory of bending and so also unsymmetrical bending.
Complete-text has been updated and new matter added (e.g., elastic buckling, inelastic, stability and instability of columns and compression members, torsional-buckling, torsional-flexural buckling, etc.). Behaviour of web-stiffeners and web-panels specially near the end panels, tension-field action has been first time included to familiarise the students with the concept. Durability of steel members have been emphasized phenomenon of corrosion has been distinctly explained.

Dr. Ram Chandra did his Graduation in Engineering from M.B.M. Engineering College, Jodhpur in 1959, and M.E. 1970 in Structural Engineering in Honours Division. He got his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Roorkee, (Indian Institute of Technology) Roorkee in 1984. Joined as Lecturer in Civil Engineering M.B.M. Engineering College, Jodhpur in December 1961. Selected as reader in Structural Engineering in August, 1965 and became Professor and Head of Department in Structural Engineering in 1984 and 1990. Dr. Chandra has published two papers in International Journal (ASCE, New York) in April, 1990. Three papers in National Journals (Institution of Engineers, India), July 1971 and Indian Engineer June, 1970 and August, 1970. Six papers in Conferences/National Seminars (two-papers at Roorkee, 1979 and 1993) one paper at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 1984 and three papers at J.N.V. University, Jodhpur (2002, 2005). Dr. Chandra is the author of six reputed books being studied and referred by students, teachers, research scholars and design engineers alike not only through-out India but in foreign countries also. He has taught various subjects of Civil Engineering specially Steel Structres, Concrete Structures, Computer Programming and Engineering Mechanics to the students of graduate and post-graduate studies.
