Features: This book is part of the "Simplified Design Series" and is written based on the latest specifications of the American Institute of Steel Construction. It explains teaching methods, calculation steps, and complex overall analysis in an easy-to-understand manner, reflecting the latest practices and experiences in the steel structure industry and architectural design field. The book primarily discusses how to design structures, covering many aspects beyond performance research, rather than focusing on calculations. It emphasizes the fundamental principles of design rather than analytical methods, so most design work in the book uses the simpler Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method. However, since the Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is becoming a common approach in design, many design processes are also explained using LRFD. The book includes detailed design examples and analyses, making it convenient for self-study. It is suitable for structural designers and students and teachers in related fields of architecture.
