Publisher's Synopsis
"This textbook has been prepared with the hope that its readers will, as have so many engineers in the past, become interested in structural steel design and want to maintain and increase their knowledge on the subject throughout their careers in the engineering and construction industries. The material was prepared primarily for an introductory course in the junior or senior year. However, the last several chapters may be used for a graduate course. The authors have assumed that the student has previously taken introductory courses in mechanics of materials and structural analysis"--.
