Behavior and Design of High-Strength Constructional Steel presents readers with extensive information on the behavior of high-strength constructional steels, providing them with the confidence they need to use them in a safe and economic manner to design and construct steel structures. The book includes detailed discussions on the mechanical properties of HHS while explaining the latest progress in research and design guidelines, including material properties at ambient and elevated temperatures. In addition, the book explains the behavior of elementary members subject to different types of loads and load combinations, and those that are integral to the design of bolted and welded connections. The hysteretic behavior of HHS materials and members are also discussed. This is critical for application and designs under earthquakes and fire conditions. The buckling behaviors of HSS box-section and H-section columns are included in terms of experimental and numerical investigations, along with the geometric imperfection induced by welding. Provides a comprehensive review on the topic of high-strength constructional steel and the latest progress in research and design guidelines Explains the behavior of elementary members subjected to different types of loads and load combinations Recommends structural systems for using high-strength constructional steels in seismic zones

Throughout the book effort has been made to present in a logical manner the theoretical background needed for developing and explaining design requirements. Considerable emphasis has been put on presenting for the beginning, as well as the advanced student, the necessary elastic and inelastic stability concepts, the understanding of which is deemed essential to properly apply most of the AISC Specification formulas.

High-strength steel (HSS) is critical to modern buildings and civil engineering structures. Novel research, methods, and designs are continually being developed. High-Strength Steel Structures presents advances in the fundamental mechanical performance of HSS structures, and design guidance and methods for practical engineering. The book considers the fundamental behaviour of HSS structures, including their material properties, and sectional residual stress distribution, long and stud columns subjected to compression, and seismic performance. The volume presents the latest advances from a leading research group, based at Tsinghua University in China, and most of the findings described here are new to national or international standards. The book gives details on the experimental, theoretical and numerical studies that went into the mechanical performance, design methodology and engineering application of an innovative structure system. Six chapters introduce HSS structures; consider their material properties; the residual stress modelling of HSS sections; the overall building behaviour and local buckling behaviour of HSS columns; and finally the seismic behaviour of HSS structures. This title offers a comprehensive reference for practicing engineers and architects, and a blueprint for future studies on the design and practical engineering of HSS structures. Presents the latest research and advances in high-strength steel structures Presents findings not yet covered by national or international standards Describes a range of experimental programmes on high-strength steel structures including their data Details robust scientific design methods for high-strength steel structures with typical structural elements Offers innovative design methodologies, as well as research methodologies valuable for future research

Geschwindner's 2nd edition of Unified Design of Steel Structures provides an understanding that structural analysis and design are two integrated processes as well as the necessary skills and knowledge in investigating, designing, and detailing steel structures utilizing the latest design methods according to the AISC Code.The goal is to prepare readers to work in design offices as designers and in the field as inspectors. This new edition is compatible with the 2011 AISC code as well as marginal references to the AISC manual for design examples and illustrations, which was seen as a real advantage by the survey respondents. Furthermore, new sections have been added on: Direct Analysis, Torsional and flexural-torsional buckling of columns, Filled HSS columns, and Composite column interaction. More real-world examples are included in addition to new use of three-dimensional illustrations in the book and in the image gallery; an increased number of homework problems; and media approach Solutions Manual, Image Gallery.

This book consists of the papers presented at the First World Conference on Constructional Steel Design held in Acapulco, Mexico, December 1992. The Conference provided a forum for presentation and discussion by designers and research workers involved with steel construction.

Constructional Steel Design presents state-of-the-art knowledge on the design of steel structures. Independent of national design codes, subjects include materials aspects of steel as well as metallurgy, fatigue, corrosion, inspection, fire protection, element behaviour and strength.
