Structural Steel Design 5th Edition by Jack C. McCormac and Stephen F. Csernak has been fully updated to conform to the latest American Manual of Steel Construction. The material is presented in an easy-to-read reader-friendly style.
End of chapter Problems for Solution have been added for Chapter 1 of the textbook. The load factors and load combinations defined in Chapter 2 of the textbook and used throughout the book in example problems and end of chapter problems for solution have been revised to meet those given in the ASCE 7-10 and Part 2 of the AISC Steel Construction Manual.
The classification of compression sections for local buckling defined in Chapter 5 of the textbook has been revised to the new definition given in Section B4.1 of the new AISC Specification. For compression, sections are now classified as non-slender element or slender element sections.
The AISC Specification provides several methods to deal with stability analysis and the design of beam-columns. In Chapter 7 of the textbook, the Effective Length Method (ELM) is still used, though a brief introduction to the Direct Analysis Method (DM) has been added. A more comprehensive discussion of the DM is reserved for Chapter 11 of the text.
In Chapter 11 of the textbook, both the Direct Analysis Method and the Effective Length Method are presented for the analysis and design of beam-columns.This is to address the fact that the presentation of the Direct Analysis Method was moved from an appendix to Chapter C of the new AISC Specification while the Effective Length Method moved from Chapter C to Appendix 7.
The ends of chapter Problems for Solution for Chapters 2 through 11 have been revised. For Chapters 12 through 18 about half the problems have been revised. Various photos were updated throughout the textbook.
