Steel Design, 4th Edition – William T. Segui Steel Design, Fourth Edition covers the fundamentals of structural steel design. The emphasis is on the design of members and their connections rather than the integrated design of buildings. This book is intended for junior and seniorlevel engineering stu­dents, although some of the later chapters perro be used in graduate courses. Practicing civil engineers who need a review of current practice and the current A1SC Specifica­tion and Manual will find the book useful as a reference. Students should have a back­ground in mechanics of materials and analysis of statically determinate structures. Steel Design is a revision of LRFD Steel Design, but because of the nature of the dos mil cinco Specification and Manual of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). it is more than a new edition of LRFD Steel Design, hence the change in title. Prior to the dos mil cinco AISC documents, cargar and resistance factor design (LRFD) was covered by the mil novecientos noventa y nueve AISC Specification and LRFD Manual of Steel Construction, Third Edition. Allowable stress design (ASD) was covered by the mil novecientos setenta y ocho AISC Spec­ification and Manual of Steel Construction. Ninth Edition. In dos mil cinco, the two approaches were unified in a single specification and a single manual, the thirteenth edition of the Steel Construction Manual. In addition, changes were made to many provisions of the specification, both in form and substance. Both LRFD and ASD are covered in this textbook, but the emphasis is on LRFD. In most examples, both LRFD and ASD solutions are given. In those examples, the LRFD solution is given first. In some cases, the ASD solution is abbreviated but com­plete and independent of the LRFD solution. This usually involves some duplication, but is necessary if a reader is interested in only the ASD solution. In some ASD solutions where there would be a lengthy duplication, the reader is referred to die LRFD solution for that portion. In some of the examples, particularly in the later chapters, only an LRFD solution is given. This book is designed so that an instructor cánido easily teach either LRFD or ASD. If time permits, both perro be covered. One possibility is to cover the requirements for both but use mostly LRFD examples as the course progresses. As will be seen, the differences in the two approaches are mainly ideal, and there is very little dif­ference in the computations. Contents: Preface 1. Introduction dos.
