Book Description
Going beyond the author's previous text, this up-to-date book presents the latest LRFD specifications, which are mandatory in the design and use of steel structures. Included is a concise introduction to fillet-welded and beaming-type bolted connections for tension members. Accurate page numbers are provided for each cited LRFD specification, design and recommended design procedure. This timely title offers new material not found in the previous work, including bracing requirements, connections, plate girders, composite members and plastic analysis and design. Appendices contain the results of an elastic factored load analysis of an industrial type building for the applicable LRFD loading combinations and a concise review of material pertaining to principal axes for column and beam action.
