This book did a very good job in helping me understand steel design. The examples are very clear and the discussion on the various topics is easy to understand. It is an overall good book.

This book is written very simply and clearly. It makes steel design easy to learn and almost fun to do. Would suggest to students, professors and professionals.

Very nice book and does a good job distinguishing between LRFD and ASD methods. Examples are thoroughly explained too. Required for my steel design course in structural engineering.

I purchased this book because I wanted to study for the PE exam, and this book is just great, very simply to understand, there are good examples and the theory behind it is just well explained. I would definitely recommend this book to whoever is looking for a refresh in steel design.

The author of this textbook does a very good job of simplifying complex topics and design procedures in steel. This textbook does fail on explaining the theory and mechanics of steel members, which I believe is very important in design. If you simply just want to learn the design procedures of steel members, this is an excellent textbook. However, if you want to learn the theory and mechanics of steel members, I would not buy this book. This book also contains many mistakes, so if you do buy it, be sure to view the errata from the publishers website.

This book is simply excellent. The author is capable of making a complicated subject very easy to understand. There is no other steel book comparable to this one in terms of clarity. After you read this one you can look at other authors: Vigil Jason, Charles Salmon, etc. When you read Salmon you will understand why Segui is very good.

We've been using this book for the past two weeks in my Steel Design class and so far it has been very good in explaining the basics of design for tension and compression members. There are plenty of examples and problems that students can do using this book in conjunction with the AISC Steel Manual. This is a great book and hopefully it'll stay this way for the rest of the course.

This book has so far been helpful and understandable. Many examples aid in understanding the material.

I used this book in my studies in college and as a reference in the day to day work place. Easy to follow. Great for review or furthering your background in steel design

I recieved this book within a reasonable amount of time and it was in the condition specified by the seller.
