This up-to-date book includes the latest specification from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). The emphasis is on the design of building components in accordance with the provisions of the AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification and the LRFD Manual of Steel Construction. Without requiring students to have a knowledge of stability theory or statically indeterminate structures, the book maintains a balance of background material with applications.
Excellent undergrade/P.E. review book. Book focuses on problem solving techniques rather than theory. Lots of practice problems are given at the end of each chapter - answers to selected problems at end of book.

This is the best textbook that I have used as an undergraduate student. The book is clear and concise. To all civil engineering students specializing is structural design, this is a must have book. If your school doesn't require it, you should buy it as a reference. It is this good.Jim
