Textbook
Unified Design of Steel Structures, 1st EditionAugust 2007, ©2008
 |
All examples that rely on LRFD and ASD provisions are fully presented, even if it means some duplication, so that regardless of approach being taught, there will be no need to refer to the other approach example. All homework problems that could be LRFD or ASD are presented both ways so that the instructor may choose the approach they want the student to follow.
The text presents a fresh look at steel design that is based, from the beginning, on the concepts used by the Specification Committee to develop the unified provisions.
The text is designed primarily for use in a single course in basic steel design, but may also be used in a second, building oriented course in steel design, depending on the coverage in the first course.

Index.
- The only text designed from the start to address the 2005 unified LRFD and ASD Specification.
- Emphasis on determining nominal strength so that an instructor can teach LRFD or ASD or both with little additional effort.
- Every example is completed for both LRFD and ASD with a presentation format that makes the distinction easy to observe.
- All examples formatted to highlight appropriate steps in the process. Includes consistent problem-solving procedure in examples, to reinforce good problem-solving practices
- Homework problems at the end of each chapter are given so that either LRFD or ASD provisions may be assigned.
- There are also problems designed to show comparisons between ASD and LRFD solutions. These problems will show that in some instances one method might give a more economical design while in other instances the reverse is true.
