Structural steel designer's handbook

Description

If it has anything to do with the design of steel structures, you'll find it here, in the Structure Steel Designer's Handbook. Abstract: Gives information about steel as a material - it's fabrication and erection; analyzing a structure; and making design calculations. This work explains about the developments in seismic design, including more ductile connections. It also explains about design requirements for hollow structural sections and explores design examples.  Read more...
