ABOUT THE BOOK

SCHAUM'S OUTLINES ON STRUCTURAL STEEL DESIGN

AUTHOR : ABRAHAM J ROKACH

PUBLISHERS : SCHAUM'S OUTLINE SERIES McGraw-Hill 

In 1986 a new method of structural steel design was introduced in the United States with the publication of the Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. Load and resistance factor design, or LRFD, has joined the old allowable stress design (ASD) method as a recognized means for the design of structural steel frameworks for buildings. Although ASD has enjoyed a long history of successful usage and is familiar to engineers and architects, the author and most experts prefer LRFD because it is a truer representation of the actual behavior of structural steel and unlike ASD, it can provide equivalent margins of safety for all structures under all loading conditions (as explained in Chap. 1). For these reasons it is anticipated that LRFD will replace ASD as the standard method of structural steel design. 

Because of the newness of LRFD and the scarcity of instructional materials, this book was written for as wide an audience as possible, including students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate engineering and architectural curricula, and practicing engineers, architects, and structural steel detailers. The author believes that everyone in need of instruction and/or experience in LRFD can benefit from the Schaum's approach of learning by problem-solving. The only prerequisite for an understanding of this text is the same as for an undergraduate course in structural steel design: a basic knowledge of engineering mechanics.
