Alan Williams ... A fully updated, hands-on guide to the design of steel structures: Steel Structures Design for Lateral and Vertical Forces, Second Edition,
covers the fundamentals of behavior and the latest design methods for a
variety of steel structures and loads. Thoroughly revised to align with
the 2015 International Building Code and the latest relevant AISC
codes, this comprehensive resource includes expanded coverage of seismic
loads and new design methods for multi-story frames, gable frames, and
grid frameworks. A brand-new chapter on lateral loads provides
explanations of traditional design methods as well as newer innovations
in buckling-restrained braces and steel plate shear walls.
End-of-chapter problems and solutions apply each concept to real-world
design situations and show how code requirements are applied to both the
ASD and LRFD methods. Covers the 2015 International Building Code and the AISC 325-05 and 327-12 codes + Each chapter presents engineering fundamentals followed by concise explanations of relevant building codes + Design examples and step-by-step solutions illustrate practical applications of each requirement.Info-Details: 672 pages - Publisher: McGraw-Hill; 2nd edition (June, 2016) ...
