Synopsis

This comprehensive introduction to basic steel design — tension members, beams, columns under axial load, members under combined forces, connections, plate girders, continuous beams and frames, and composite construction — reflects the most recent design specifications and load codes, and features an abundance of examples, flow- diagrams, and problems.explains the LRFD philosophy and introduces the new design methodology; coverage of load and resistance factor design is included in chapters on the basic steel structure, beams, and plate girders; adds a discussion on ponding and vibration as special topics in beam design; and includes a chapter on computer-aided technology.
