Steel Design - University Lecture Notes

Practical teaching notes condensed from one-semester university course. Based on the author's actual notes used for his teaching of graduate & undergraduate engineering courses at California State University Long Beach, ICBO seminars on structural steel design based on the UBC 97 Code & AISC LRFD Seismic Provisions & Seminars to prepare applicants for the P.E. exam. Text & examples updated to the latest AISC Manual of Steel construction, LRFD 2nd ED & the ASD 9th ED provisions. Main topics cover principles of structural design, ASD & LRFD methods, tension members & connections, block shear, design of welds, beams, design for bending, stress reduction for unsupported lengths, deflection, column design, AISC column formulae, slender columns, moment magnification factors. The Notes include a detailed column design complying with the AISC LRFD Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings & the UBC 97 seismic regulations. A valuable tool to develop design methods applicable to exam problems as well as ready reference for practicing engineers without having to flop pages of voluminous handbooks. Supported by examples, structural details & diagrams.Erdey, Charles K. is the author of 'Steel Design - University Lecture Notes' with ISBN 9780971207318 and ISBN 0971207313.
