Structural Steel Designer's Handbook AISC, AASHTO, AISI, ASTM, AREMA, and ASCE-07 Design Standards

AN INVALUABLE WORKING TOOL FOR STEEL DESIGNIf it has anything to do with the design of steel structures, you'll find it in the Structural Steel Designer's Handbook. The Fourth Edition of the one-of-a kind reference updates descriptions and examples to reflect the latest code provisions of AISC, AASHTO, and AISI, as well as current loadings published by ASCE and adopted by the IBC (International Building Code). The text provides this essential data -- and demonstrates its application.This massive field manual for engineering professionals also includes the latest developments and trends in materials and methods. Handy tables, charts, formulas, and illustrations make decisions easier for both routine and exceptional structures.Each of the 15 chapters is the work of outstanding engineering experts. From bolted and welded connections to member selection for building floors and roofs, from plate girders and trusses to cable-suspended bridges, this essential guide gives you examples of leading-edge steel design. Easy to follow and use, the Structural Steel Designer's Handbook is the tool of choice for both experienced engineers and those just launching their careers.UPDATES AISC combined ASD and LRFD design standard for building frames AASHTO specifications, applicable to virtually all highway bridges AISI specifications for cold-formed members, now in force all over North America ASCE-07 gravity, seismic, and wind loads, now part of the IBC Alterations in the IBC ASTM material standards, for selection of shapes, plates, bridge steels, sheets, tubing, and cable 30 percent new or revised illustrations Numerous new examples Concentrated text, trimmed and focused on the newest design methods Full coverage of members and connections for buildings and bridges, fabrication and erection, welding and bolting, codes, structural theory and standards, and properties of materials THE TOOLKIT FOR STEEL DESIGN Properties of Structural Steels and Effects of Steelmaking and Fabrication * Fabrication and Erection * Connections * Building Codes, Loads, and Fire Protection * Criteria for Building Design * Design of Building Members * Floor and Roof Systems * Lateral- Force Design * Cold-Formed Steel Design * Highway Bridge Design Criteria * Railroad Bridge Design Criteria * Beam and Girder Bridges * Truss Bridges * Arch Bridges * Cable-Suspended BridgesBrockenbrough, R.
