Synopsis

This book is intended for classroom teaching in architectural and civil engineering at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Although it has been developed from lecture notes given in structural steel design, it can be useful to practicing engineers. Many of the examples presented in this book are drawn from the field of design of structures. Design of Steel Structures can be used for one or two semesters of three hours each on the undergraduate level. For a two-semester curriculum, Chapters 1 through 8 can be used during the first semester. Heavy emphasis should be placed on Chapters 1 through 5, giving the student a brief exposure to the consideration of wind and earthquakes in the design of buildings. With the new federal requirements vis a vis wind and earthquake hazards, it is beneficial to the student to have some under- standing of the underlying concepts in this field. In addition to the class lectures, the instructor should require the student to submit a term project that includes the complete structural design of a multi-story building using standard design procedures as specified by AISC Specifications. Thus, the use of the AISC Steel Construction Manual is a must in teaching this course. In the second semester, Chapters 9 through 13 should be covered. At the undergraduate level, Chapters 11 through 13 should be used on a limited basis, leaving the student more time to concentrate on composite construction and built-up girders.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This accessible text introduces the basic elements of steel structure design. Topics are presented in a logical progression to provide the reader with a broas and in-depth understanding of the design process. The author first introduces tension and compression, then moves to bending and torsion, and then discusses components such as connections, anchor bolts, base plates, and plate girders. This organization of subject matter parallels that theAISC Steel Construction Manual, which simplifies instruction when the two books are used together. Design of Steel Structures features a chapter on bracings for wind and earthquake forces written in response to new federal regulations. This material makes this crucial aspect of construction an integral part of the introduction to design. The book also includes a thorough treatment of the plastic analysis method, the first time this material is covered in a book of this nature. Emphasizing the allowable stress design method (ASD), the author utilizes numerous examples from actual construction projects. The load and resistance factored design method (LRFD) is also discussed and demonstrated. Convenient tables offer simplified approaches to torsional functions, as well as SI unit conversions. The final chapter illustrates how to design tall buildings without using sophisticated computers. Incorporating topics not usually found in design texts, as well as real life examples, this volume will serve as a practical and comprehensive introduction to steel structure design for both undergraduate and graduate students. The material is suitable for both one-and two-semester courses. It also offers lucid updates on aspects of design for practicing structural engineers and architects.
