Synopsis

This second edition authored by Alan Williams is updated to the 2003 International Building Code. It provides a detailed interpretation of the 2001 AISC Manual of Steel Construction LRFD and the 2003 International Building Code and illustrates the specification requirements with more than 100 design examples and detailed step-by-step solutions. It reflects current design procedures and provides concise solution techniques for design problems. The publication suits a broad audience, including practicing engineers, professional engineering examination candidates, undergraduate and graduate students attending an LRFD class and newly graduated engineers who have been taught the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method and want to become familiar with the LRFD method. From the Preface The purpose of Structural Steel Design (LRFD) is to provide an understanding and appreciation of the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method for the design of steel structures. The design applications presented are based on the third edition of the Manual of Steel Construction, LRFD, published by the American Institute of Steel Construction, which is adopted by reference in the 2003 International Building Code, published by the International Code Council. The Manual of Steel Construction contains the specifications for steel buildings, properties of structural shapes, design data and commentary. It also provides a comprehensive interpretation and extensive coverage of the specification together detailed design examples to illustrate its application. The format of this text closely follows that of Column 1 of this series, which was based on the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method, so as to illustrate the differences in the two techniques. The Allowable Stress Design method is the traditional design method adopted for the design of steel structures, and the most recent edition of the specification was published in 1989.
