Steel design codes and standards play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, efficiency and reliability of steel structures. As new materials, construction techniques and design philosophies emerge, it becomes imperative to revise and update these codes to address the evolving needs of the industry. In this article, we will explore some of the updates and revisions in the latest steel design codes and standards, highlighting their significance in the field of structural engineering. Steel design codes and standards are a set of guidelines and specifications that govern the design, fabrication and construction of steel structures. These codes are developed by organizations such as the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Eurocode, British Standards Institution (BSI) and many others. They provide engineers, architects and construction professionals with essential information and requirements to ensure the safety, efficiency and reliability of steel structures.
