Steel Structures Design: ASD/LRFD

<h4>A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES</h4> <p><i>Steel Structures Design: ASD/LRFD</i> 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) <i>Specification for Structural Steel Buildings</i>, 2010 edition, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) <i>Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures</i>, 2010 edition, and the International Code Council (ICC) <i>International Building Code</i>, 2012 edition. The code requirements are illustrated with 170 design examples, including concise, step-by-step solutions.</p> <p>Coverage includes:</p> <ul> <li>Steel buildings and design criteria</li> <li>Design loads</li> <li>Behavior of steel structures under design loads</li> <li>Design of steel structures under design loads</li> <li>Design of steel beams in flexure</li> <li>Design of steel beams for shear and torsion</li> <li>Design of compression members</li> <li>Stability of frames</li> <li>Design by inelastic analysis</li> <li>Design of tension members</li> <li>Design of bolted and welded connections</li> <li>Plate girders</li> <li>Composite construction</li> </ul>
