Steel Structures

Description

Strives to present in a logical manner the theoretical background needed for developing and explaining design requirements.  Beginning with coverage of background material, including references to pertinent research, the development of specific formulas used in the AISC Specifications is followed by a generous number of design examples explaining in detail the process of selecting minimum weight members to satisfy given conditions.

Fully updated to conform to the 2005 Specification and Manual of the American Institute of Steel Construction (13th edition of Steel Construction Manual) 

Integrated treatment of both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD)

Use of SI units as an addition to the primary use of Inch-Pound units

Comprehensive treatment of design of I-shaped members subject to torsion

Detailed treatment of plate girder theory as it relates to LRFD

Extensive treatment of connections

Fully updated to conform to the 2005 Specification and Manual of the American Institute of Steel Construction ( 13th edition of Steel Construction Manual)
