Steel Structures: Design and Behavior 5th Edition presents the theoretical background needed for developing and explaining design requirements for steel structures. Beginning with coverage of background material, including references to pertinent research, the development of specific formulas used in the AISC specifications is followed by a generous number of design examples explaining in detail the process of selecting minimum weight members to satisfy given conditions. Fully updated to conform to AISC's 2005 Steel Construction Manual. Features include; integrated treatment of both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD); use of SI units as an addition to the primary use of Inch-Pound units; comprehensive treatment of design of I-shaped members subject to torsion; detailed treatment of plate girder theory as it relates to LRFD; extensive treatment of connections.
