BUILD WITH STEEL introduces beginners to load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for steel buildings. The book covers the topics encountered in undergraduate steel design courses and on national exams (FE and PE). The full color layout is rich with photos, illustrations, and examples. It carefully explains the basis and application of the tables and specifications found in the AISC Steel Construction Manual.
STEEL DESIGN covers the fundamentals of structural steel design with an emphasis on the design of members and their connections, rather than the integrated design of buildings. The book is designed so that instructors can easily teach LRFD, ASD, or both, time-permitting. The application of fundamental principles is encouraged for design procedures as well as for practical design, but a theoretical approach is also provided to enhance student development. While the book is intended for junior-and senior-level engineering students, some of the later chapters can be used in graduate courses and practicing engineers will find this text to be an essential reference tool for reviewing current practices.
This book is written for students just beginning the study of structural steel design. 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. To many of us in the structural field, the design of steel structures is a fascinating topic. It is hoped that many of the users of this book will be as attracted to the subject as we are. 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. Steel structures are used all over the world. 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.
Ductile Design of Steel Structures, Second Edition, covers steel material, cross-section, component, and system response for applications in plastic and seismic design, and provides practical guidance on how to incorporate these principles into structural design. Self-study problems at the end of each chapter help reinforce the concepts presented. Written by experts in earthquake-resistant design who are active in the development of seismic guidelines, this is an invaluable resource for students and professionals involved in earthquake engineering or other areas related to the analysis and design of steel structures.
The Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures is often described as an invaluable reference for practicing structural engineers and researchers. For generations of engineers and architects, the Guide has served as the definitive work on designing steel and aluminum structures for stability.
Steel Design, Sixth Edition covers the fundamentals of structural steel design forbuildings. This book is intended for junior-and senior-level engineering students,although some of the later chapters can be used in a combination undergraduate/graduate course. Practicing civil engineers who need a review of current practicesand the current AISC Specification and Steel Construction Manual will findthe book useful as a reference. Students should have a background in mechanicsof materials and analysis of statically determinate structures. Knowledge ofstatically indeterminate structural analysis is not a prerequisite for the use ofthis book.
Prior to 2005, load and resistance factor design (LRFD) was covered by the 1999AISC Specification and LRFD Manual of Steel Construction, Third Edition.Allowable stress design (ASD) was covered by the 1978 AISC Specification andManual of Steel Construction, Ninth Edition. In 2005, the two approaches wereunified in a single specification and a single manual, the thirteenth edition of theSteel Construction Manual. In addition, changes were made to many provisionsof the specification, both in form and substance. The unified approach continueswith the 2016 Specification and the 15th edition of the Steel Construction Manual.Both documents have been revised to reflect current research and practice, but theformat remains the same.
Aims: To introduce students to the following areas and concepts: Basic skills: 1. Creative Building Design; 2. Materials and Construction; 3. Visual Communication through drawing and model-making; Basic Principles: 4. That the above skills are mutually necessary and inseparable; 5. That design is a collaborative process in which ideas and criticisms are freely exchanged between individuals. Learning Outcomes: The successful student will be able to demonstrate the following drawing skills: 1. Plan, Section, Elevation; 2. Axonometric and Isometric projection; 3. Perspective; 4. Freehand and mixed-media techniques; 5. Construction drawing. Skills: Skills in the following: Freehand drawing, Technical drawing, Model making, Verbal presentation, Drawn presentation. Content: The core vehicle is a design project involving two small, related structures, one timber-framed construction and the other in masonry. In conformity with objective 4, formal lecture programmes on materials and construction, and on communication techniques support tutored design work in the studio. The construction lectures in unit AR10014 run concurrently with and are integrated into this.The communication lectures cover the following drawing skills: 1. Plan, Section, Elevation; 2. Axonometric and Isometric projection; 3. Perspective; 4. Freehand and mixed-media techniques; 5. Construction drawing. In pursuance of Objective 5, the design is undertaken by mixed architect and engineer groups of not more than four students working together. Sketchbook: Students are encouraged to keep as many sketchbooks as possible, recording analytically three-dimensional spaces, both real and imagined, alongside ideas on how these buildings either are, or might be, constructed. 2ff7e9595c
