From the Preface

This textbook has been prepared with the hope that its readers will, as have so many engineers in the past, become sincerely interested in structural steel design and want to learn more about the topic in the years to come. The material was prepared primarily for an introductory course for the junior or senior year but the last several chapters may be used for a graduate class. The author has assumed that the student has previously taken introductory courses in mechanics and structural analysis.

Two methods of designing steel structures have been used in the United States during the past two decades as permitted by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). These are Load and Resistance Factor Design (LFRD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD). During this period of time the AISC published separate specifications and steel manuals for each method. In 2005, however, allowable stress design was changed to allowable strength design and combined with LRFD into one specification and one steel manual.

The reader may initially think (as did the author) that the simultaneous presentation of two methods of doing essentially the same thing would be extremely confusing. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth as the AISC has done such a beautiful job of presentation that there is no confusion. Their presentation of the two methods and the differences between them is so clear that the student after solving one short problem using both methods should have no difficulty in handling other problems with either one or both of the methods.

Despite the preceding comments many professors will probably prefer to teach only the LRFD method as so many of them feel it is the steel design method of the future. To facilitate their work and the studies of their students, the material in this book pertaining exclusively to ASD has been shaded. Those persons studying LRFD only can, if they wish, completely ignore the shaded portions. In the tables of the 2005 edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual, numbers pertaining just to ASD are shaded as they are in this text.

The designs of tension members, columns, beams, beam-columns and connections are discussed in the first 15 chapters of this book. Chapter 16, 17 and 18 present designs of composite beams, composite beams, composite columns, cover plated beams and plate girders. Finally Chapter 19 provides discussions of various types of steel buildings short and tall.
