fraction of the building stock in use. There will be a rapidly
increasing interest in refurbishment, dismantling and reuse of
buildings. A material that, over the last 200 years, has shown
itself to be supremely adaptable and consistent in its material
properties once integrated into a building, steel is the material
of choice for the discerning structural designer.

18.10 Conclusion
This chapter outlines an approach to steel design that encour-
ages study of buildings and construction details that use steel
structure so that an appreciation of the practicalities of con-
struction in steel can be developed. Steelwork structure relies
on its compatibility with building fabric details to be success-
ful. The steelwork designer cannot ignore these details.
Although not providing a comprehensive guide to steel
design, this chapter summarises the key parameters considered
before initial steel design should be attempted. The section
dealing with preliminary design is intentionally close to the
end of the chapter. There is a considerable body of published
material and the reader is encouraged to continue to study.
Looking to the future of steelwork construction and its sus-
tainability, we are likely to see continued growth in hybrid
mixes of structural material and solutions. New-build is a
