Steel Design Formulas and Principles

This document provides an overview of key steel design formulas and principles related to: 1) Euler's critical load and stress formulas for determining the buckling capacity of columns with different end conditions. 2) Bending stress formulas for designing base plates of columns. 3) Formulas for calculating shear stresses in beams, including maximum web shear stress and average shear stress. 4) Formulas for determining spacing of rivets or bolts and how holes in beams impact their shear and moment capacities.
