A Complete and Current Guide to Structural Steel Design

Fully updated with the most recent design codes, standards, and specifications, Structural Steel Designer’s Handbook, Fifth Edition, provides a convenient, single source of the latest information essential to the practical design of steel structures.

This comprehensive volume begins by covering the properties of structural steel and the fundamentals of fabrication and erection. Modern structural design methods applicable to buildings and other structures, such as roof systems and various types of bridges, are presented. Details on the design of members–beams, columns, and tension components–and of bolted and welded connections are also covered. Featuring contributions from renowned engineering experts, this is an invaluable working tool for structural steel designers.

Based on the latest design standards, codes, and specifications:

• ANSI/AISC 360-10–unified LRFD and ASD specification
• ANSI/AISI S100–unified specification for cold-formed members
• SEI/ASCE 7-10 wind, seismic, and live loads, consolidated into the International Code Council (ICC) International Building Code (IBC)
• AASHTO highway bridge design standards
• ASTM material standards
• AREMA railroad bridge design specifications

New to this Edition

• Chapter 1 updated to reflect changes in the steel specifications—American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) through 2009
• Chapter 4 updated to cover the latest loading codes for buildings—American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7-09 and the 2009 International Building Code (IBC)
• Chapters 5 and 6 updated to cover the latest design specifications for buildings—American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) 360-2010
• Chapter 8 revised to include changes in seismic design requirements for buildings per ASCE 7-09 and the 2009 IBC
• Chapter 9 revised to reflect the latest in cold-formed steel design, per American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) S100-2007 standards
• Chapters 10 and 12 through 15 revised to include changes in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO’s) specifications through 2009

State-of-the-Art Bridge and Highway Rehabilitation and Repair Methods

This authoritative volume offers up-to-date guidance on the latest design techniques, repair methods, specialized software, materials, and advanced maintenance procedures for bridges and highway structures. Focusing on both traditional and nontraditional design issues, Bridge and Highway Structures Rehabilitation and Repair clarifies the most recent AASHTO bridge design codes and discusses new analytical and design methodologies, such as the application of load and resistance factor design (LRFD). A wealth of concise explanations, solved examples, and in-depth case studies are included in this comprehensive resource.

COVERAGE INCLUDES:

• Diagnostic design and selective reconstruction
• Bridge failure studies and safety engineering
• Analytical approach to fracture and failure
• Load and resistance factor rating (LRFR) and redesign
• Application of LRFD and LRFR methods
• Inspection and structural health monitoring
• Bridge widening and replacement strategies
• Conventional repair methods
• Advanced repair methods
• Concrete repair methods
• Extreme events of flood scour and countermeasures design
• Guidelines for seismic design and retrofit methods
