Synopsis

This book deals with the design of steel structural members, and their connections, with emphasis on their use in bridges and buildings. Discussion of theory and behavior under the various combinations of loads such members must resist is followed by a discussion of applications according to standard specifications for load and resistance factor design (LRFD) and allowable-stress design (ASD). Discussion of these two types of specifications are presented in separately numbered articles followed by worked-out examples.

About this title

Synopsis:

This text can be used for courses in steel structures and steel design at the senior/first year graduate level. The book teaches students how to design steel structures and their connections, with primary respect to bridges and buildings. 32 design problems portray structural members as components of real-world structures rather than as isolated elements and help students to prepare flow diagrams and computer programs. There is a discussion of the design calculatons for the truss spans and composite-beam approach spans of a highway bridge in Maryland. The authors discuss both the theoretical treatment of every topic along with the important applications and specifications, including the AISC, the AASHTO, and the AREA specifications. The text covers both the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) procedures. The procedures are covered separately so that one may be skipped if desired. A solutions manual is available.
