Structural Steel Design, Third Edition is a simple, practical, and concise guide to structural steel design – using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and the Allowable Strength Design (ASD) methods - that equips the reader with the necessary skills for designing real-world structures. This edition conforms to updated American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) resources, including the 2016 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-16) and the 15th edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual, published in 2017. The reader is encouraged to go out of his or her way to observe these structures and endeavor to see how the members are arranged, erected and connected. Steel structures are used all over the world. A practical approach to the fundamentals of designing steel structures is presented so that the material is appropriate for not only civil engineering students but also for those in architecture and building science. It is hoped that many of the users of this book will be as attracted to the subject as we are. To many of us in the structural field, the design of steel structures is a fascinating topic. The material is prepared primarily for an introductory course in the junior or senior year but the last several chapters may be used for a graduate class. This book is written for students just beginning the study of structural steel design.
