Inhaltsangabe

This text is based on the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. It addresses in a consistent way both LRFD and ASD design philosophies. It is designed to be used with the 13th edition of the Steel Construction Manual and is directly linked to it with discussions of numerous Manual Tables after the Specification equations have been addressed. This approach gives the student the advantage of knowing what primary resources are available in the Manual and how to use them. Each Chapter starts with a table indicating which sections of the Specification and which Parts of the Manual are to be discussed to assist the student with an understanding of the breadth of topics covered in that chapter.
 
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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A Clear Guide to the New ANSI/AISC 360-05 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.

Based on the understanding that the strength of an element or structure can be determined independently of the design philosophy, the 2005 unified ANSI/AISC 360-o5 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings Successfully brought together the two divergent approaches to the design of steel structures, the ASD and the LRFD. Unified Design of Steel Structures demystifies this new specification for both practicing engineers and students.

Ranging from the fundamentals to more advanced topics, you'll master the essentials of unified design, including:

• The principles of limit states design and how these principles are incorporated into both LRFD and ASD approaches
• The development of load factors, resistance factors, and safety factors
• The development of load factors, resistance factors, and safety factors.
• The various shapes and grades of steel available for construction.
• The various member types-tension, compression, and bending
• Plate girders, the design of bracing, and composite members
• Connection design-potential connection types and the strength of bolts, welds, and connecting elements; simple connections; and moment resisting connections

In accordance with the book's unified coverage, every example in Unified Design of Steel Structures is complete for both LRFD and ASD, and homework problems at the end of each chapter are designed so that either LRFD or ASD provisions may be assigned. There are also problems designed to show comparisons between ASD and LRFD solutions.

Ideal as a text for a first course in steel design for civil and architectural engineers, Unified Design of Steel Structures also provides a solid review for practicing engineers who wish to learn the provisions of the unified specification and apply them to their practices.
