Applied Structural Steel Design

Designed to furnish readers with a basic understanding of the strength and behaviour of structural steel members and their interrelationships in simple structural systems, this text has been updated and reflects recent changes in the AISC Specification (ASD). It includes a second introductory chapter to strengthen coverage of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and provides new and/or revised problem material in most chapters. There is updated coverage of Open Web Steel Joists (Chapter 9) to incorporate recent changes; the metric portion of the appendix has been expanded to include example problems using SI; and five flowcharts have been added to the appendix to provide visual representations of the text's step-by-step problem solving approach.
