Product Description
Steel Design covers the fundamentals of structural steel design with an emphasis on the design of members and their connections, rather than the integrated design of buildings. Not only is Steel Design a revision of LRFD Steel Design, it also encompasses the 2005 unification of LRFD and ASD as is covered in the Steel Construction Manual. The book is designed so that instructors can easily teach either LRFD or ASD, or both, time-permitting, as the differences in the two approaches are mostly conceptual. The application of fundamental principles is encouraged for design procedures as well as for practical design, but so is a theoretical approach, enhancing the students development. While the book is intended for junior-and senior-level engineering students, some of the later chapters can be used in graduate courses. Due to the changes that were made to many provisions of the Steel Construction Manual, practicing engineers will find this text useful in reviewing current practices and it will be an essential reference tool. |

Steel Design by PB 4 LIFE (UT)  5 Stars
September 21, 2009
This book is written very simply and clearly. It makes steel design easy to learn and almost fun to do. Would suggest to students, professors and professionals.

Good steel book by JoeBoone (TN USA) 5 Stars
February 15, 2008
Very nice book and does a good job distinguishing between LRFD and ASD methods. Examples are thoroughly explained too. Required for my steel design course in structural engineering.

So far, great book for learning steel design by I. Ling 4 Stars
October 14, 2007
We've been using this book for the past two weeks in my Steel Design class and so far it has been very good in explaining the basics of design for tension and compression members. There are plenty of examples and problems that students can do using this book in conjunction with the AISC Steel Manual. This is a great book and hopefully it'll stay this way for the rest of the course.

| Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design (5th Edition)
by James K. Wight (Author), James G. MacGregor (Author)
Reinforced concrete design encompases both the art and science of engineering. This book presents the theory of reinforced concrete as a direct application of the laws of statics and mechanics of materials. In addition, it emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies design rules, but also is capable of being built in a timely fashion and for a reasonable cost. A multi-tiered approach makes Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design an outstanding textbook for a variety of university...
