The only A-Z guide to structural steel design Find a wealth of practical techniques for cost-effectively designing steel structures from buildings to bridges in Structural Steel Designer's Handbook by Roger L. Brockenbrough and Frederick S. Merritt The Handbook's integrated approach gives you immediately useful information about: *steel as a material - how it's fabricated and erected *how to analyze a structure to determine internal forces and moments from dead, live, and seismic loads how to make detailed design calculations to withstand those forces This new third edition introduces you to the latest developments in seismic design, including more ductile connections, and high performance steels...offers an expanded treatment of welding....helps you understand design requirements for hollow structural sections and for cold-formed steel members....and explores numerous design examples. You get examples for both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD).

Review
"Offering ready access to a wealth of useful problem-solving information, it provides handy tables, charts, formulas, and illustrations..." -- CCFSS Technical Bulletin, February 200044
From the Back Cover
- Unified ASD and LRFD design
- AISC building design specifications
- ASCE-07 standard loadings data
- AASHTO bridge design specifications
AN INVALUABLE WORKING TOOL FOR STEEL DESIGN
If it has anything to do with the design of steel structures, you'll find it in the Structural Steel Designer's Handbook. The Fourth Edition of the one-of-a kind reference updates descriptions and examples to reflect the latest code provisions of AISC, AASHTO, and AISI, as well as current loadings published by ASCE and adopted by the IBC (International Building Code). The text provides this essential data -- and demonstrates its application.
This massive field manual for engineering professionals also includes the latest developments and trends in materials and methods. Handy tables, charts, formulas, and illustrations make decisions easier for both routine and exceptional structures.
Each of the 15 chapters is the work of outstanding engineering experts. From bolted and welded connections to member selection for building floors and roofs, from plate girders and trusses to cable-suspended bridges, this essential guide gives you examples of leading-edge steel design. Easy to follow and use, the Structural Steel Designer's Handbook is the tool of choice for both experienced engineers and those just launching their careers.
UPDATED TO INCLUDE:
- AISC combined ASD and LRFD design standard for building frames
- AASHTO specifications, applicable to virtually all highway bridges
- AISI specifications for cold-formed members, now in force all over North America
- ASCE-07 gravity, seismic, and wind loads, now part of the IBC
- Alterations in the IBC
- ASTM material standards, for selection of shapes, plates, bridge steels, sheets, tubing, and cable
- 30 percent new or revised illustrations
- Numerous new examples
- Concentrated text, trimmed and focused on the newest design methods
- Full coverage of members and connections for buildings and bridges, fabrication and erection, welding and bolting, codes, structural theory and standards, and properties of materials

One more McGraw-Hill's handbook,
By
This review is from: Structural Steel Designer's Handbook: AISC, AASHTO, AISI, ASTM, and ASCE-07 Design Standards (Hardcover)
That is one more handbook with a lot of pages full of words, photos and figures that teaches the buyer almost nothing. The only exception is Mr. Hedefine's article about plate bridges.
Save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not so impressive.,
By Payo Suparporn (Amphur Uthai, Ayutthaya Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Structural Steel Designer's Handbook (Hardcover)
This book is written by various experience P.E. or Professors. It is not emphasis on practical calculation. There are very few example and definitions for formulars and related equation. If reader has no experience before, it would be very difficult to understand. Half of the book is devoted to bridge design, and it dose not provide enough information to design a bridge..This is not really a how-to book.
