About this title

Synopsis

This well-known book has been fully updated to conform to the 1999 Load and Resistance Factor (LRFD) Design Specification and to the 2002 edition of the LRFD Manual of Steel Construction. A problem-solving software package, included with each book, contains practical applications and enables users to better understand the relationship between analysis and design. chapter topics include specifications, loads, and methods of design; analysis and design of tension members; introduction to axially loaded compression members; design of axially loaded columns; design of beams for moments; bending and axial force; bolted connections; eccentrically loaded bolted connections and historical notes on rivets; welded connections; building connections; composite beams; composite columns; built-up beams, built-up wide-flange sections, and plate girders; design of steel buildings; and systems design. For practicing engineers originally trained to use the ASD procedure?this book will assist them in the transition to the LRFD method.

From the Back Cover

Structural Steel Design, 3/e provides an introduction to structural steel design. It is primarily intended for a three-credit course for junior or senior undergraduates in civil engineering, building science, architectural engineering, or architecture. The material is presented in an easy-to-read student-friendly style.

Key Features of the Third Edition:

• Updated to conform to the 2999 Load and Resistance Factor (LRFD) Design Specification and to the third edition of the LKFD Manual of Steel Construction
• Includes approximately 500 homework problems. These have been revised, expanded, and updated from the previous edition.
• INSTEP32 computer software included. Helps students electronically solve many of ,the design problems presented in the text
• A new chapter entitled "Design of Steel Building Systems" has been added. As a part of this chapter, the nationally used commercial software package SAP2000 is introduced and used. A student version of the software is included with the textbook.
