Structural Steel Design: A Practice Oriented Approach

Structural Steel Design: A Practice-Oriented Approach, 1e takes a holistic approach by showing how each individual component design in a steel-framed building is incorporated into a complete building design as one would find in practice. It covers topics that are pertinent to everyday structural design of steel-framed buildings, plus others not commonly found in a text including framing layout, design ‘rules of thumb’, floor vibrations, structural strengthening, and torsion. These key topics are essential to preparing students for designing with structural steel in the real world. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping students learn the basics of steel design and how to practically apply that learning to real-world steel framed building projects.

Key Features

Features practical, real-world examples that include the use of the design aids in the AISC Manual, helping students learn how to use the AISC Manual.
Provides comprehensive coverage of structural loads, including gravity and lateral loads, that is weaved seamlessly into the structural design process allowing for easy calculations of this somewhat complex task.
Includes a chapter on "Practical Considerations" that provides students with a holistic design view and helps reinforce the connection between structural element/member design and building design in practice.
Includes an introduction to floor vibration analysis and design per AISC Design Guide No. 11 as many modern buildings are more susceptible to vibration problems and most textbooks do not cover this topic.
Other topics frequently encountered in practice but aren't covered in other texts include beam copes and their reinforcing; X-braces using tension rods/clevises/turnbuckles; stability bracing of beams and columns; and beam design for uplift loads, strengthening and rehabilitation.
Includes a student steel design project at the end of Chapter 1 with future end-of-chapter problems challenging students to design different components of the building with the concepts learned in each chapter. At the end of the book, students will have completed the design of an entire building helping students tie the design of different building components to the design of an entire building and reinforces a holistic building design approach.

Structural Steel Design: A Practice Oriented Approach
Abi O. Aghayere, Jason Vigil
Year: 2008 Edition: 1 Language: English Pages: 709

Structural Steel Design, Third Edition is a simple, practical, and concise guide to structural steel design – using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and the Allowable Strength Design (ASD) methods -- that equips the reader with the necessary skills for designing real-world structures. Civil, structural, and architectural engineering students intending to pursue careers in structural design and consulting engineering, and practicing structural engineers will find the text useful because of the holistic, project-based learning approach that bridges the gap between engineering education and professional practice. The design of each building component is presented in a way such that the reader can see how each element fits into the entire building design and construction process. Structural details and practical example exercises that realistically mirror what obtains in professional design practice are presented.

Features:

- Includes updated content/example exercises that conform to the current codes (ASCE 7, ANSI/AISC 360-16, and IBC)
- Adds coverage to ASD and examples with ASD to parallel those that are done LRFD
- Follows a holistic approach to structural steel design that considers the design of individual steel framing members in the context of a complete structure.
