Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Steel Hollow Structural Sections

December 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

steel-hollow

The AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings is intended to cover the common design criteria in routine office practice. Accordingly, it is not feasible to also cover the many special and unique problems encountered within the full range of structural design practice. This AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Steel Hollow Structural Sections is a separate document that addresses one such topic: the design and construction of building systems that utilize steel hollow structural sections (HSS). A list of Symbols and a non-mandatory Commentary with background information are provided.

high-performance-building

Background Through a recent series of initiatives, New York City is laying the groundwork to introduce significantly improved energy- and resource-efficient practices into its public facility construction programs. Policymakers are seeking to capitalize on the economic and environmental benefits of ‘green’ buildings. NYC recognizes that improving the environmental performance of its facilities will add value to its large portfolio of capital assets, and at the same time, yield important ‘quality of life’ benefits for New Yorkers.

Plate Buckling in Bridges and Other Structures

December 20, 2008 · 1 Comment

51jipfsrqyl_sl500_aa240_

A well-illustrated and comprehensive account of various aspects of local buckling in bridges, this book covers the theory and background of buckling. It presents simple design calculations that address this intriguing phenomenon and describes attempts to master the process of buckling, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented, including five bridge collapses which occurred in a four-year-period between 1969 and 1973. Examining such failures provides valuable information about the phenomenon of buckling. The final section of the book presents easy-to-follow design examples that conform to the latest Eurocode.

Plastic Analysis and Design of Steel Structures

December 16, 2008 · 1 Comment

plasticsteel

The plastic analysis method has been used extensively by engineers for designing steel structures. Simpler structures can be analyzed using the basic virtual work formulation, but more complex frames are evaluated with specialist computer software. This new book sets out a method for carrying out plastic analysis of complex structures without the need for specialist tools.
