1.0 out of 5 stars Skip this book. Read the Manual of Steel Construction instead, July 21, 2005

This review is from: Structural Steel Design-Lrfd (Trade, Technology & Industry) (Hardcover)

In 1996 this was MIT's textbook for its introductory undergraduate steel design class (1.51). This text did touch on the most basic topics. However, I have been practicing structural engineering since 1998, and I cannot recall ever having found the answer to a question within its pages. I don't know that a better introductory text exists, but it's clear that the treatment of the subject is superior in the AISC Manual of Steel Construction itself. Have your students purchase the manual, but skip this text.
