Refers to steel structures gives requirements for design, fabrication and erection, where the design is based on the limit states design theory. The term "steel structures" refers to structural members and frames consisting primarily of structural steel components, which include the detail parts, bolts, welds, or other fasteners that are needed in fabrication and erection. It also refers to structural steel components framed in other materials.
