| These comprehensive study guides are ideal for the self-study of AISC's Manual of Steel Construction Specification and as desk references for practicing engineers. Each volume in this two-volume set provides a detailed interpretation of the AISC Specification and illustrates the specification requirements with more than 100 design examples and detailed step-by-step solutions. They reflect current design procedures and provide concise solution techniques for design problems. Developed for a wide audience, including practicing engineers, candidates taking the professional engineering examinations, undergraduate and graduate students, and newly graduated engineers who have been taught one method and are looking to become familiar with the other method.
Written by Alan Williams, this volume provides an understanding and appreciation of the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method for design of steel structures. The design applications included are based on the specifications of AISC's Steel Construction Manual, 9th edition, adopted by reference in the International Building Code. This publication provides a comprehensive interpretation and extensive coverage of AISC's manual, together with detailed design examples illustrating its application. |
