For structural engineers, who are used to implement the custom design of such steel structures and buildings, the principles and knowledge of structural steel design is important subjects to learn. Because this subject will allow us to design for strength by using both allowable stress concepts: ASD and LFRD techniques so we can create good equations of combine load in order to determine allowable strength design and resistance safety factors.
To learn about how to get better design of custom steel structures, it is suggested to learn from helpful material such as structural steel design book. This 4th edition is written based huge experience of author in engineering field. The author, Jack C. McCormac explains how to choose more economical method for steel design. So we are able to identify which Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) will be used and analyzed with right calculation of specifications, requirements, axial and lateral loads and methods based on environmental issues.
This structural steel design book also includes miscellaneous topics, particularly to design connections of bold, welded structures and other building connections with such selection of standards. To get optimal result of design and minimize possible errors, this book also explains how to get and specify parameters by help of software engineering.
