Description

The design of structural steel members has developed over the past century from a simple approach involving a few basic properties of steel and elementary mathematics to a more sophisticated treatment demanding a thorough knowledge of structural and material behavior. Steel Structures: Design and Behavior, 5th Edition, 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.

Features:

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.

New to this Edition:

Fully updated to conform to the 2005 Specification and Manual of the American Institute of Steel Construction (13th edition of Steel Construction Manual).
90% New or Revised Problems.
