Steel Design With Mindtap

Overview:Introduce the fundamentals of structural steel design with Segui’s market-leading Steel Design, 6th Edition. Rather than focus on the integrated design of buildings, Steel Design takes a unique approach by emphasizing the design of members and their connections. This book is designed to give you the flexibility to easily teach LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design), ASD (Allowable Stress Design) or both, as your time-permits. This best-selling textbook encourages the application of fundamental principles for design procedures as well as for practical design, all the while blending in a strong theoretical approach to enhance student development. While the book is ideal for junior-and senior-level engineering students, later chapters can also be used in graduate courses. Even practicing engineers will find this text to be a useful resource for reviewing current standards. Instead of focusing on the integrated design of buildings, the author emphasizes the design of members and their connections. Features:• Flexible approach offers you the option to teach lrfd or asd. This book is designed so that you can easily teach either lrfd (load and resistance factor design), asd (allowable stress design) or both approaches. This edition does emphasize lrfd as the most recent and applicable of the two approaches; however, most examples incorporate both lrfd and asd solutions. • end-of-chapter problems provide hands-on practice with both lrfd and asd approaches. When appropriate, the required approach is specified within the statement of the problem. • answers to selected problems appear at the back of the book. For your convenience, answers are provided within the book for key problems so readers can easily check their comprehension. • book effectively blends meaningful practice with an emphasis on theory. Although this book is oriented toward practical design, the author presents the supporting theory to ensure students have the complete understanding necessary for engineering success. • revised table further clarifies content and visually reflects the latest information for readers. This edition introduces manual table 6-2, "design of members subject to combined loading," in chapters 4 and 5 and uses it exclusively in chapter 6. This new table replaces the previous design aid that used p, bx and by constants. • coverage now addresses ductility in partially composite beams. Your students gain a solid understanding of how to design, test and analyze high ductile partial-strength steel–concrete composite beams according to the latest standards. • updated coverage of shear strength provisions now appears throughout the book. This edition encompasses the latest developments in shear strength provisions for hot-rolled shapes and plate girders and incorporates this coverage where appropriate throughout the book. • new content reflects the latest changes in aisc specifications and the steel construction manual. Students leave your course equipped with today’s most recent information and skills. This edition addresses the recent reorganization of the manual in detail in chapter 2. • discussion of load combinations improved. To better prepare students for today’s structural engineering challenges, this edition’s coverage of load combinations now reflects the latest developments and changes in specifications and standards. • revised material better addresses the shear lag factor, u. Students gain a more thorough understanding of the connection to tension members with this updated coverage. • coverage of slender cross-section elements reflects today’s latest specifications. Updates throughout this edition’s discussion of slender cross-section elements ensure your students understand and are considering the new specification provisions. • additional content extends the coverage of column load. This edition has expanded the column load tables to now include 65 ksi and 70 ksi material. • includes mindtap which is an interactive, customizable and complete learning solution. It includes a mindtap reader and a library of learning apps (e. g. , cnow, aplia, read speaker, merriam-webster dictionary, my content, rss feed, kaltura, progress app, etc. ).
