Description: This book is a comprehensive reference for designers of steel structures, providing information on materials, fabrication, erection, structural theory, and connections, as well as the many facets of designing structural steel systems and members for buildings and bridges. 21 digitized graphs have been added covering stress-strain curves, effect of temperature on yield or tensile strength, Steinman-Baker correction curves, and more.
This book is a comprehensive reference for designers of steel structures, providing information on materials, fabrication, erection, structural theory, and connections, as well as the many facets of designing structural steel systems and members for buildings and bridges. The information presented applies to a wide range of structures, and numerous worked examples illustrate design procedures. The thrust is to provide practical techniques for cost-effective design as well as explanations of underlying theory and criteria. Design methods and equations from leading specifications are presented for ready reference. 21 digitized graphs have been added covering stress-strain curves, effect of temperature on yield or tensile strength, Steinman-Baker correction curves, and more.
