Features: This book is written based on relevant American codes and design manuals related to steel structures, explaining the analysis and design methods and processes of steel structures in an easy-to-understand way, reflecting the new practices and experiences in the steel structure industry and architectural design field. The book primarily discusses the methods of structural design, covering many aspects beyond mathematical analysis of structural performance, rather than focusing on the calculation process. The book emphasizes the fundamental principles of design rather than analytical methods, with most design work adopting the simpler Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method. Since the Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is becoming a common approach in design work, the book also explains many design processes using LRFD. The book includes detailed design examples and analyses, facilitating learning and practice for structural designers and students and teachers of civil engineering and architecture-related fields. This book is part of the "Simplified Design Series," written according to the latest specifications of the American Institute of Steel Construction, explaining teaching, calculation steps, and complex overall analysis in an easy-to-understand way, reflecting the new practices and experiences in the steel structure industry and architectural design field. The book primarily discusses how to design structures, covering many aspects beyond teaching and research on structural performance, rather than focusing on how to calculate. The book emphasizes the fundamental principles of design rather than analytical methods, so most design work adopts the simpler Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method. However, since the Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is becoming a common approach in design work, the book also explains many design processes using LRFD. The book includes detailed design examples and analyses, making it suitable for self-study. It can be referenced by structural designers and students and teachers of architecture-related fields.
