Structural Steel Design, 7th edition

For courses in steel design.

Piquing student interest in structural steel design

Structural Steel Design addresses the fundamentals of structural steel design for students pursuing careers in engineering and construction. Presented in an easy-to-read style, the 7th Edition conforms to the latest 2022 specifications of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the 16th edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual. While the material is prepared for an introductory junior or senior course, the last several chapters may be used for a graduate class. The material is best suited to students with a basic understanding of the mechanics of materials and structural analysis.
