Türkiye yapısal çelik yönetmeliği için tasarım tabloları

Steel structures comprise a good share of the industrial construction in Turkey. Accordingly, developing systematic means for structural steel design would directly translate into reduced engineering time in a project. American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) provides practicing engineers with a design manual to facilitate the design process. The design tables in this manual, however, cannot be used in Turkey. Turkish Structural Steel Code has recently been adopted from AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings but European not American steel sections are used in the Turkish steel construction industry. Hence, design tables developed for European steel sections would significantly aid the structural engineers in Turkey. The objective of this thesis is to develop a design manual similar to AISC Steel Construction Manual for commonly used European wide-flange steel sections used in the Turkish steel industry. The design manual will also serve as a reference that can be consulted to verify the engineering calculations in Turkey.
