Product Description

This study guide is one of the few sources of comprehensive instruction about load and resistance factor design, which is gradually becoming the standard method of designing structural steel. Written for anyone with the basic knowledge of engineering mechanics needed for any undergraduate course in structural steel design, its problem-solving approach makes this book ideal for undergraduate and graduate engineering and architectural students, and for practicing engineers, architects and structural detailers as well.

Customer Reviews

Great study tool
I bought this product to review for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. I was planning on taking the civil section in the afternoon and had not taken any classes in structural steel. Glad I bought it for future reference as well!

Schaum's gets it done
The material is well presented, the examples easy to follow and the problems flow from the material.

Good entry-level book, but a little outdated
A good book if you are just starting to learn steel design. Some of the formulas and tables do not match the current AISC Specification (2005 Edition - free download in PDF) and/or the Steel Design Manual (13th Edition).
