Structural Steel Designer´s Handbook, 5th edition

• R.L. Brockenbrough
  
• Frederick S. Merritt
  
• Fully updated with the most recent design codes, standards, and specifications, Structural Steel Designer’s Handbook, Fifth Edition, provides a convenient, single source of the latest information essential to the practical design of steel structures.

  This comprehensive volume begins by covering the properties of structural steel and the fundamentals of fabrications and erection. Modern structural design methods applicable to buildings and other structures, such as roof systems and various types of bridges, are presented. Details on the design of members—beams, columns, and tension components—and of bolted and welded connections are also included. Featuring contributions from renowned engineering experts, this is an invaluable working tool for structural steel designers.

  Based on the latest design standards, codes, and specifications:

  • ANSI/AISC 360-10—unified LRFD and ASD specification
  • ANSI/AISI S100 specification for cold-formed members
  • SEI/ASCE 7-10 wind, seismic, and live loads, consolidated into the International Code Council (ICC) International Building Code (IBC)
  • AASHTO highway bridge design standards
  • ASTM material standards
  • AREMA railroad bridge design specifications

Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (7-10)

• Standards ASCE/SEI 7-10
• Description
  Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. This Standard, a revision of ASCE/SEI 7-05, offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six. The Standard contains new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors, so that the loads are not affected, and updates the seismic loads with new risk-targeted seismic maps. The snow, live, and atmospheric icing provisions are updated as well. In addition, the Standard includes a detailed Commentary with explanatory and supplementary information designed to assist building code committees and regulatory authorities.
  Standard ASCE/SEI 7 is an integral part of building codes in the United States. Many of the load provisions are substantially adopted by reference in the International Building Code and the NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code.
  Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find this Standard an essential reference in their practice.

Guide to the Snow Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05

• Michael O'Rourke, Ph.D., P.E.
• Description
  Snow Loads: Guide to the Snow Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05 provides a detailed, authoritative interpretation of the snow load provisions of MInimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05. This edition, updated to correspond to the new edition of ASCE 7, includes examples of flat roof loads, sloped roof loads, partials loads, and all types of conventional drift loading.  A new chapter offers three complete design examples: a metal building with a roof step, a pole barn with a hip roof, and a single-family residence with attached, two-car garage. Recent changes to the provisions for unbalanced loads and rain-on-snow surcharge loads are explained. Several example problems have been updated and two fresh examples added. The revised and expanded Frequently Asked Questions chapter addresses common snow loading cases not explicitly covered in ASCE/SEI Standard 7-05.

  As the only book devoted to the illustration, interpretation, and application of the snow load provisions of ASCE/SEI Standard 7-05, Snow Loads is an essential reference for structural engineers, architectects, and construction professionals working in areas where snow loading is a design consideration.

Guide to the Seismic Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05

• Finley A. Charney, Ph.D., P.E.
• Description
  Seismic Loads: Guide to the Seismic Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05 provides authoritative explanations of the seismic provisions offered in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05. With clear, concise language, Seismic Loads illustrates key concepts and guides structural engineers in applying the most current thinking in this rapidly changing discipline to the design of new structures.

  The book offers more than 20 detailed examples that analyze specific provisions of the standard and demonstrate the application of the provision in evaluating the seismic loading requirements for building structures. The examples guide structural engineers through the process of assessing conditions such as: identifying occupancy, importance, and seismic design categories, selecting a structural system, and analyzing the seismic requirements. Topics include building irregularities, structural analysis, system forces, and load factors, as well as drift and P-delta effects. Seismic Loads includes a frequently asked questions section and three appendixes with supplementary material.

  This book is an essential supplement to Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05 for all engineers, architects, and construction professionals who work on projects in seismically active locations
