Structural Steel Design: LRFD Fundamentals

by J.C. Smith

Describes the load factor resistance design (LFRD) of steel members in building frames and trusses. The first text to use the LFRD approach since the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) adopted it--cites the page numbers in the AISC LFRD Manual for quick reference. Covers elastic factored analysis, structural behavior, and design of individual members. Design elements and specifications are illustrated with many examples.
