Cold-Formed Steel Design | Author: Wei-Wen Yu (Author) | Edition: 5th | Language: English | Publisher: Wiley | Dimensions: 8.7 x 1.3 x 11 inches | ISBN-10: 1119487390 | ISBN-13: 978-1119487395 | Publication Date: October 29, 2019 | Print Length: 528 pages
Providing the latest AISI North American specifications for cold-formed steel design, this book is hailed by professionals around the world as the definitive text on the design of cold-formed steel. It offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying the construction and structural behavior of cold-formed steel members and connections from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
Updated to reflect the 2016 AISI North American specification and 2015 North American framing standards, this all-new fifth edition delves into the analysis and design of thin-walled, cold-formed steel structures that have become increasingly prevalent in building construction and other fields. The book has been revised and reorganized to incorporate the Direct Strength Method, providing detailed explanations for various design provisions.
Covering a wide range of topics, this edition includes chapters on the types of steels and their mechanical properties, buckling modes, commonly used terms, flexural members, compression members, closed cylindrical tubes, beam-columns using ASD, LRFD, and LSD methods, shear diaphragms, shell roof structures, standard corrugated sheets, and more. It is an essential resource for engineers and professionals working with cold-formed steel.
