Title: Cold-Formed Steel Structures to the AISI Specification
Description: This up-to-the-minute reference comprehensively covers the behavior and design of cold-formed steel structures, connections, and systems-describing the latest edition of, and amendment to, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members published in July 2000, which governs the design of all cold-formed steel structures, including roof, wall, and rack systems, and cold-formed steel residential construction in the USA.  Offers worked examples which can be programmed using MATHCADTM or EXCELTM as well as useful references in every chapter!   Cold-Formed Steel Structures to the AISI Specification details contemporary applications for steel storage racks and metal construction of roof and wall systemsbuckling modes of thin-walled memberseffective width equations for stiffened or unstiffened flanges, partially stiffened elements, and webs with holesstate-of-the-art methods for bracing channel and zee sections against torsional and lateral deformationsand more!With over 700 references, equations, tables, drawings, and illustrations, Cold-Formed Steel Structures to the AISI Specification is an authoritative reference for civil, structural, project, design, materials, and industrial engineers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
