Steel Structures: Design and Behavior
(4)
Currently unavailable.

The design of structural steel members has developed over the past century from a simple approach involving a few basic properties of steel and elementary mathematics to a more sophisticated treatment demanding a thorough knowledge of structural and material behavior. Steel Structures:Design and Behavior, 5/e strives to present in a logical manner the theoretical background needed for developing and explaining design requirements. Beginning with coverage of background material, including references to pertinent research, the development of specific formulas used in the AISC Specifications is followed by a generous number of design examples explaining in detail the process of selecting minimum weight members to satisfy given conditions.

Product description

From the Back Cover

Appropriate for civil engineering courses in structural steel design, the fourth edition of this classic text provides background for designing steel structural elements using the 1993 AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and the 1989 AISC Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Specifications. As in previous successful editions, a logical sequence of topics is featured, making complex material easy to understand. Emphasis throughout is placed on the explanation of the LRFD approach involving "limit states" and factored loads. To provide secondary coverage for the major topics--such as tension members, axially loaded columns, beams, beam-columns, and composite construction--the ASD formulations are developed from the strength-related concepts of LRFD. Throughout the book, all concepts are illustrated by numerical examples using LRFD; for the most important concepts, examples using ASD are also included. Many new end-of-chapter problems and references round out the text's presentation.

great text book

April 11, 2003

Format: Hardcover

The book is a great textbook for students and practicing engineers. It covers pretty much all the steel topics. It has plenty of examples from ASD design to LRFD design. I think that out of all of the steel design books out there, this is the best.

The All IN ONE textbook

June 3, 1999

Format: Hardcover

This book provides both the theory and practical applications needed to understand both LRFD and ASD Steel Design. The problems provided at the end of each chapter can be worked using either method. The example problems within the chapters provide valuable insight to procedures and techniques in solving problems. Having read many different books by Mr. Solman I have never been disappointed, and have always gained great knowledge from his books.

There are a lot of mistakes

June 10, 2002

Format: Hardcover

I have already read the book and study many of the examples, my classmates and I have found many mistakes in the fourth edition, however the information contained and the subjects studied are very complete. I hope the next edition will have those examples solved in a correct way in order to clasify this book as an excellent text.

Good, but could be better

December 29, 2008 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this as the required textbook for my graduate Steel Structures II class. While I didn't use the book a lot in class, I am still glad I have it, although it really isn't the go-to reference it could be.

The 5th edition is very similar to the 4th edition, only it has been updated to follow the AISC 13th edition steel design specification. In keeping with the combined nature of the 13th edition code, there are examples in both ASD and LRFD design philosophies.

All the basic and many advanced steel design concepts provided in the AISC steel code are covered in the book (including plate girders and torsion), but I feel that some of the topics could be covered more thoroughly. The sections on composite members and beam-columns are rudimentary and much of the time the AISC Steel Construction Manual offers more and better explanations (in both the code and commentary). The chapter on plate girders is pretty good and the one I found to be the most useful. It was also nice to see the inclusion of a section on torsion, which is often omitted from basic steel design textbooks.

In conclusion, this isn't a single spectacular textbook or reference, but it is useful to have around.

Excellent Material

September 18, 2010 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The AISC Manual of Steel Construction is basically the steel bible complete with the numerous design examples and so forth. However, attempting to do steel design with that book alone does have its occasional short comings. This book bridges the gaps and fills in the blanks and allows the designer to have a better understanding of why he's doing what he's doing. I bought it because not only do I design, but I lecture as well; and I need to have sound understanding of the material before I present it to my students. My weaknesses were block shear rupture and welding. After reading this book and using it in conjunction with my AISC Manual, I am much more comfortable when designing structural steel braced and FR moment connections. I tend to use flange plates and single shear plates a lot and used to over design to compensate for my lack of understanding. Use this book together with your AISC Manual 13th Edition and your AISC Design Guides and you will be in a very good position to handle most structural steel design problems encountered. The book format and way of presenting information is userfriendly and has a striking resemblance to Reinforced Concrete Design by James MacGregor (another very informative and helpful technical resource). All formulae and nomenclature are explained and referenced properly so that it does not lose or frustrate the reader.

Its okay

June 2, 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The book itself is nice. Covers a lot, pretty straight forward. However the hardcopy of the book is already coming apart. I've had it barely 1 month, and I only use it at my desk yet the entire binding is already broken from just turning the pages like you normally would.

Not satisfied with the quality of the book.
