This is a standard textbook on the design and calculation of steel structures, authored by K. K. Mukhanov and published in 1956 by the specialized state publishing house "Gosstroyizdat" (State Publishing House for Construction Literature). Intended for students of construction technical schools, the book systematically presents the fundamental principles of designing metal structures used in industrial and civil engineering. It covers essential topics including load calculations, the behavior of structural elements (beams, columns, trusses), connections (welded and bolted), and provides general information on the fabrication and installation of steel assemblies. As a product of the post-war reconstruction and industrialization period in the USSR, this textbook reflects the codified engineering practices and normative approaches of Soviet construction in the mid-1950s. The volume includes numerous illustrations and two folding plates with detailed drawings. It serves as a valuable primary source for understanding the technical education and standardized design methodologies of the era.
