Limit States Design in Structural Steel
Eighth Edition, Second Revised Printing, April 2009-By G.L. Kulak and G.Y. Grondin The Seventh Edition of this text introduced the changes to the 2001 edition of the CSA–S16 standard and saw the addition of sections on torsion, welding processes and procedures and a new presentation of the chapter on stability analysis of frames and the design of beam-columns. The Eighth Edition reflects significant changes that have been made in the National Building Code of Canada. Additional design examples have been added to Chapter 8 to illustrate various analysis procedures for multi-storey frames. The design examples in that chapter have been adapted to the 2005 edition of the National Building Code. Additional design examples were added to Chapter 9 to illustrate the use of weld symbols and to emphasize some design aspects of rigid beam-to-column moment connections. This textbook serves as a comprehensive teaching text for universities, and technical institutes, and also as a valuable reference document for practising engineers. The textbook offers an explanation of the philosophy and practical application of limit states design procedures and provides comments on design requirements contained in the Standard S16-01, "Limit States Design of Steel Structures". Divided into 11 chapters, the book covers tension members, flexural members, columns, beam-columns, stability, fatigue behaviour, connections, plate girders, composite construction as well as types and grades of structural steel. For users of the 8th Edition, 1st Printing, the principal revisions incorporated into the 2nd Printing can be found HERE. 397 PagesPrice: $65.00ISBN-978-088811-131-9
