Steel design is divided into two stages: |
- Design of structural members for optimum stiffness and strength
- Bolts, plates, connectors, and anchors that help transmit forces are designed with this in mind.

Frequently, the cost of the building is determined not by the steel's self-weight, but by the steel fabrication and erection. Because heavier parts with simpler features cost less than lighter sections with extensive connection details, effective connection design is critical to the structure's cost.
Steel is elastic, and it performs elastically until it reaches its yield strength. They then deform in a plastic way until they reach their maximum strength.
Steel has a low creep rate in general. Steel, on the other hand, has a significant creep rate at high temperatures or when subjected to heat or fire.
Steel can also fail due to wear and tear.
Steel structures are designed to be ductile so that they do not fail owing to internal stress deflection.
Steel frames, either portal frames or bracings with walls, are commonly used to create low-rise buildings. The governing loads for portal frames are lateral wind loads. Structural bracing members for braced bays are commonly hollow sections or angles that are utilized for vertical bracing. Single diagonal braces are made to withstand compression and stress. Cross diagonal bracing with a 45-degree angle are designed to take just tension. Triangulated floor bracing can be utilized for horizontal bracing to transmit lateral wind loads to nearby vertical bracing systems.
