Steel Design, Seventh Edition

William T. Segui, Sayed M. Soleimani

Steel Design, Seventh Edition covers the fundamentals of structural steel design for buildings. This book is intended for junior- and senior-level engineering students, although some of the later chapters can be used in a combination undergraduate/ graduate course. Practicing civil engineers who need a review of current practices and the current AISC Specification and Steel Construction Manual will find the
book useful as a reference. Students should have a background in mechanics of materials and analysis of statically determinate structures. Knowledge of
statically indeterminate structural analysis is not a prerequisite for the use of this book.
Structural design is a complex endeavor, involving the synthesis of many processes. This book does not cover the integrated design of buildings, but presents some of the “building blocks” for structural steel design. We focus on the analysis and design of individual members and connections, rather than complete
structures.
