Steel Design

Steel Design, 6th Edition introduces the core principles of structural steel design. Rather than covering complete building systems, the textbook focuses specifically on the behavior and design of individual structural members and their connections.

The instructional material blends theoretical foundations with practical design procedures. This structure accommodates both LRFD and ASD methodologies, giving instructors the flexibility to select the design philosophy that best fits their curriculum and available course time.

Intended primarily for upper-level engineering undergraduates, the text also includes advanced topics suitable for graduate courses. Working engineers can further consult the volume as an accessible reference to review current industry standards.
