Abstract
This chapter introduces the basic concepts and design principles of steel beams including: (1) the typical beam cross-sections; (2) different failure modes of steel beams; (3) strength calculations of beams; (4) the theory and practical calculation methods of beam strength failure in global instability; (5) the design criteria and checking methods of local instability of beams; (6) the connection methods of steel beams either to adjacent beams or to columns. The key content of this chapter is the different failure modes and their corresponding calculation methods of beam strengths. The theory of the global instability of steel beams (lateral–torsional buckling) is somewhat complicated. Examples together with detailed solutions are provided for each important concept.
