Abstract: |
The costs of the self-weight of a structure have never been a real issue in the design of steel girders, since the material costs of a structural element are mainly determined by labour costs. The booming economies of China and India cause a continuously increasing demand for steel. This and the now stringent regulations regarding sustainability make material economy in design much more interesting. |
