Steel Structures Design: ASD/LRFD

A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES Steel Structures Design: ASD/LRFD introduces the theoretical background and fundamental basis of steel design and covers the detailed design of members and their connections. This in-depth resource provides clear interpretations of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, 2010 edition, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, 2010 edition, and the International Code Council (ICC) International Building Code, 2012 edition. The code requirements are illustrated with 170 design examples, including concise, step-by-step solutions.Coverage includes:Steel buildings and design criteriaDesign loadsBehavior of steel structures under design loadsDesign of steel structures under design loadsDesign of steel beams in flexureDesign of steel beams for shear and torsionDesign of compression membersStability of framesDesign by inelastic analysisDesign of tension membersDesign of bolted and welded connectionsPlate girdersComposite construction
