the undergraduate course in structural steel design using the Load and Resistance Factor Design Method (LRFD). The text also enables practicing engineers who have been trained to use the Allowable Stress Design procedure (ASD) to change easily to this more economical and realistic method for proportioning steel structures.
The book comes with problem-solving software tied to chapter exercises which allows student to specify parameters for particular problems and have the computer assist them. On-screen information about how to use the software and the significance of various problem parameters is featured. The second edition reflects the revised steel specifications (LRFD) of the American Institute of Steel Construction.
Structural Steel Design
Ideal for preparing you for the field, Design of Steel Structures includes real-world examples that demonstrate practical applications of AISC 360 specifications.
The material is presented in a clear, reader-friendly style. This best-selling text has been fully updated to conform to the latest American Manual of Steel Construction.
This new edition is compatible with the 2011 AISC code as well as marginal references to the AISC manual for design examples and illustrations, which was seen as a real advantage by the survey respondents.
This book is intended for classroom teaching in architectural and civil engineering at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Going beyond the author's previous text, this up-to-date book presents the latest LRFD specifications, which are mandatory in the design and use of steel structures. Included is a concise introduction...
