5th Edition
by Wei-Wen Yu (Author), Roger A. LaBoube (Author), Helen Chen (Author)
Provides the latest AISI North American specifications for cold-formed steel design
Hailed
by professionals around the world as the definitive text on the design
of cold-formed steel, this book provides descriptions of the
construction and structural behavior of cold-formed steel members and
connections from both theoretical and experimental points of view.
Updated to reflect the 2016 AISI North American specification and 2015
North American framing standards, this all-new fifth edition offers
readers a better understanding of the analysis and design of the
thin-walled, cold-formed steel structures that have been widely used in
building construction and other areas in recent years.
Cold-Formed Steel Design, 5th Edition
has been revised and reorganized to incorporate the Direct Strength
Method. It discusses the reasons and justification for the various
design provisions of the North American specification and framing design
standards. It provides chapter coverage of: the types of steels and
their most important mechanical properties; the fundamentals of buckling
modes; commonly used terms; the design of flexural members, compression
members and closed cylindrical tubes, and of beam–columns using ASD,
LRFD, and LSD methods; shear diaphragms and shell roof structures;
standard corrugated sheets; and more.
- Updated to the 2016 North American (AISI S100) design specification and 2015 North American (AISI S240) design standard
- Offers thorough coverage of ASD, LRFD, LSD, and DSM design methods
- Integrates DSM in the main body of design provisions
- Features a new section on Power-Actuated Fastener (PAF) Connections
- Provides new examples and explanations of design provisions
Cold-Formed Steel Design, 5th Edition
is not only instructive for students, but can serve as a major source
of reference for structural engineers, researchers, architects, and
construction managers.
