Bridges the gap between academic work and professional practice, carrying analysis and design beyond that applied to individual members and components and into total structural frames. Contains software for assessing forces on plane frames and plane frame trusses. Illustrated throughout and includes numerous tables from industry references. Appendices feature supplementary diagrams, matrix algebra and steel joist load tables.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for beginners,
By Forensic Engineer "Al" (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steel Buildings: Analysis and Design (Hardcover)
Blodgett does a good job on design of steel structures, and software like Staad or FEA do the big assemblies quite well. The need to design structures by hand is obsolete, but some manual checking is still necessary. Some advanced methods explained here are worthwile, such as the method of consistent deformation.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Avoid at all costs.,
This review is from: Steel Buildings: Analysis and Design (Hardcover)
I bought this book AFTER taking a graduate course on steel design. This book provides only short summaries of methods with a few examples. It never explains the WHY behind the HOW TO and isn't very good at explaining the HOW TO. Furthermore, much of the AISC code that it refers to is old and outdated.

This review is from: Steel Buildings: Analysis and Design (Hardcover)
Excellent, excellent book. If you're at all interested in structural engineering, this book provides in depth examples of most types of problems that you will encounter during schooling or on the job.
