Synopsis

Structural Steel Design: A Practice-Oriented Approach, 2e, bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping readers learn the basics of steel design and how to practically apply that learning to actual steel-framed building projects.

 

Teaching and Learning Experience

• Takes a holistic approach by showing how each individual component design in a steel-framed building is incorporated into a complete building design as one would find in practice.
• Introduces a design project as part of the end-of-the-chapter problems to expose readers to the important aspects of a real-world steel building design project.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice, Structural Steel Design: A Practice Oriented Approach  provides the essentials of individual component design while at the same time showing how these components are put together to form an entire building. Just like in real practice!   This “holistic approach” is essential for any practicing engineer or any student looking to work in this field.   Key features of this extraordinary text include:

• Realistic structural drawings
• Practical real-world examples including the use of the design aids in the AISC Manual
• A unique chapter on “Practical Considerations” provides a holistic design view while reinforcing the connection between structural elements and building design in practice.
• Case-study example to reinforce the holistic design view
• Step-by-step practical designs
• A detailed treatment of structural loads including gravity and lateral loads that is weaved seamlessly into the structural design process.
• Essential information including additional topics such as framing layout, floor vibrations analysis, Structural strengthening, torsion, and more!
