Principles Of Steel Design

Overview of steel properties, history, grades, structural shapes, and design philosophies (LRFD vs. ASD).

A comprehensive overview of structural steel tension members, covering limit states, gross and net areas, block shear, and member design.

Analysis and design of steel columns, focusing on buckling strength, stability, and built-up members.

Analysis and design of steel beams for flexural strength, focusing on moment capacity, compactness, biaxial bending, and lateral-torsional buckling.

Analysis and design of steel beams for shear capacity and serviceability limits like deflection, ponding, and floor vibration.

Design of members subjected to combined axial compression and flexural loads, including second-order effects and bracing requirements.

A comprehensive overview of analyzing and designing bolted connections in steel structures, including shear, bearing, slip-critical resistance, prying action, and block shear.

Analysis and design of welded connections, covering fillet, groove, plug, and slot welds, as well as eccentric weld groups.

A comprehensive overview of built-up steel plate girders, focusing on web slenderness, stiffeners, and tension-field action.

Introduction to composite steel-concrete construction, including beams, columns, shear connectors, and slab interaction.

Design of column base plates, anchor rods, shear lugs, and moment connections transferring forces to foundations.
