About the Book

Limit State Design of Steel and RCC Structures is a core textbook designed primarily for undergraduate Civil Engineering students, especially those following the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Karnataka syllabus under CBCS pattern. The book systematically covers the subject “Design of Steel Structural Elements” as well as the combined subject on Steel and Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Structures.

The text introduces the design of steel structures using the Limit State Method as prescribed in the revised syllabus. It also incorporates design principles based on plastic theory wherever required. In addition, one complete module is devoted to the Limit State Design of selected RCC structures, making the book comprehensive for students studying both steel and RCC design.

Organized into seven modules—six on steel structures and one on RCC structures—the book presents 66 theory questions, approximately 126 fully solved problems, and 86 practice exercise problems. Each module explains the necessary theory in a clear and simple manner before moving on to numerical design examples, enabling students to easily understand and apply the design procedures.

With its exam-oriented approach and systematic presentation, this book serves as a valuable resource for students preparing for university examinations as well as for gaining practical clarity in structural design using limit state principles.
