Description
This textbook integrates both design considerations of steel structures as well as the behavior on which the design specifications are based. Steel Structures: Behavior and LRFD is unique in that it has five introductory chapters: an Introduction to motivate student interest by showing and discussing actual steel projects; Chapter 2 presents a discussion of steels as a structural material; Chapter 3 provides a broad introduction to structures; Chapter 4 discusses loads acting on structures per ASCE Standards 7; and Chapter 5 explains calculations for simple examples.
The other unique feature is thorough coverage of connections. Connections are the most important and least understood components of steel structures. Chapters 6, 12, and 13 are devoted to this key topic.
Throughout the text, a web icon references readers to the book?s website, which contains extensive additional coverage of advanced topics. Instructor resources available on the website include: comprehensive Solutions Manual as well as tips on how to best use the text in your course. Student resources include: comprehensive list of equations, detailed list of symbols, and flowcharts.
Key Features
This text integrates both design of steel structures with behavior of steel by combining discussions of steel behavior and the implications for design.
Do you want your text to cover both behavior and design of steel?
Designers want to design for the real world (ie, how steel really acts in the real world), and without understanding how steel acts (behaves), a designer is limited. Therefore understanding both how steel acts AND how to design structures correctly is a huge benefit.
Utilizes 450 carefully drawn illustrations of structural systems, members, and bolted and welded joints.
Do you want your text to be highly illustrated to enhance student learning?
Designers are visual people. They like to see what a specific connector or beam or structure looks like. The author?s carefully drawn, detailed illustrations throughout the text highlight and enhance every chapter.
Uses the latest LRFD Steel Manual specifications; the LRFD Manual is used and extensively referenced throughout the text.
Students have access to the most current industry specifications.
Do you want your text to be based on the most current American Institute of Steel Construction specifications and manual?
120 well explained worked out example problems emphasizing the application of design concepts are included.
The solutions are based on the current edition of the LRFD specifications, and solved problems enable students to understand the entire design process.
Do you want your text to include numerous worked out example problems?
An accompanying website contains extensive advanced steel design and behavior coverage. These additional topics are closely integrated with the text.
Would you like to have access to advanced topics, on a conveniently organized website?
Students and professors who want to pursue more advanced topics will find the website to be an immense resource, and those who don?t want this advanced coverage will not have to skip around the text.
