Summary

This study guide is one of the few sources of comprehensive instruction about load and resistance factor design, which is gradually becoming the standard method of designing structural steel. Written for anyone with the basic knowledge of engineering mechanics needed for any undergraduate course in structural steel design, its problem-solving approach makes this book ideal for undergraduate and graduate engineering and architectural students, and for practicing engineers, architects and structural detailers as well.
