Product Description
Ensure ductile behavior in any steel structure
Engineer earthquake resistant structures using today's most advanced ductile steel design techniques.
This guide gives you the latest seismic-resistant design criteria--based on research into the recent Northridge and Kobe earthquakes. You get fingertip access to the ductile properties of steel. . .essential data on the plastic behavior of cross-sections. . .and systematic methods and applications of plastic analysis. This time-saving resource walks you through the seismic design of ductile braced frames and moment resisting frames. . .provides the special detailing requirements needed to ensure satisfactory plastic behavior. . .gives you an overview of special steel-based energy dissipation systems. . .and much more.
From the Back Cover
Finally, a book that provides insight into the requirements central to earthquake-resistant design of steel structures. An imposing body of research in structural engineering shows that special care is needed to ensure the ductile response of steel structures, particularly for earthquake-resistant design. This reference book links the latest knowledge on steel material, procedures for plastic design of steel structures and design for ductile steel structures, explains the philosophy and research findings that support the latest North American code provisions for earthquake-resistance, and provides practical guidance on how to incorporate this knowledge in design. Written by experts in eartcquake-resistant design who are active in the development of seismic design guidelines, Ductile Design of Steel Structures provides you with: Information on Steel Properties relevant to ductile response, including post-yield and toughness characteristics, the mechanics of the yielding process, resistance to low-cycle fatigue, and modeling of steel for the purpose of analysis. Plastic Analysis and Design methods, from plastic behavior at the cross-section level to systematic methods of plastic structural analysis, with seismic and non-seismic examples of applications of plastic design (such as the Autostress bridge design method). Design Procedures and Detailing Requirements for ductile Earthquake-resistant moment-resisting frames and braced frames, incorporating knowledge generated following the Northridge, California, earthquake. Insight into special detailing requirements for member stability necessary to achieve specified levels of rotation capacity, and the relationships between codified design-force levels, drifts and expected ductile response. Overview of steel energy dissipation systems that offer new opportunities for new and retrofit steel construction. Clearly, whether your focus is earthquake engineering or other areas involving the plastic analysis and design of steel structures, this book offers you the practical authoritative support you need.

I like this book,
By DG - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ductile Design of Steel Structures (Hardcover)
It has some minor printing errors but the book is nice...It has very few examples. I would recommend it for theory purpose only.

A Graduate school textbook,
By Hamid Mahmoodi "peja" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ductile Design of Steel Structures (Hardcover)
This book covers many of the important topics in the plastic analysis and design of steel structures. The first part of the textbook covers all of the main analysis methods used, and then goes into the design aspects of moment and braced frames. It is an excellent book for a graduate steel analysis and design course, and could also serve as a great reference for practicing engineers. This book does not have any "practice problems" to solve, as there is in many other textbooks, however, the authors do provide useful examples in the text that allow for a better understanding of the material. Overall, an excellent textbook.
