Aghayere A., Vigil J. Structural steel design: a practice-oriented approach

Prentice Hall, 2009, 692 pages

This book is a comprehensive, stand alone reference for structural steel design. Giving the audience a thorough introduction to steel structures, this book contains all of the need to know information on practical design considerations in the design of steel buildings. It includes complete coverage of design methods, load combinations, gravity loads, lateral loads and systems in steel buildings, and much more.
This text is ideal for students in a typical undergraduate course in structural steel design, and will sufficiently prepare students to apply the fundamentals of structural steel design to a typical project that they might find in practice. It is suitable for students in civil engineering, civil engineering technology, architectural engineering, and construction management and construction engineering technology programs. This text also serves as a good resource for practitioners of structural steel design because the approach taken is intended to be practical and easily applicable to typical, everyday projects.
