Summary
Summary
This text is designed for undergraduate courses in structural steel design using the Load and Resistance Factor Design Method (LRFD). Those who have been trained to use the Allowable Stress Design procedure (ASD) may change easily to this more economical method for proportioning steel structures. Problem-solving software is included in this book - tied to chapter exercises - which allows students to specify parameters for particular problems and have the computer assist them. On-screen information about how to use the software and the significance of various problem parameters is featured. The second edition reflects the revised steel specifications (LRFD) of the American Institute of Steel Construction.
