Steel Design Guide: Low-and Medium-Rise Steel Buildings

A technical reference published by the American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. (AISC). The guide offers detailed engineering principles and suggested procedures for the economical construction of steel-framed buildings. Key topics include basic design rules for economy, considerations for live load and bay size selection, and in-depth discussions on composite floors and open web steel joist floor systems, including analysis of floor vibration issues. Additionally, a large section is dedicated to wind load design, presenting methods for optimizing braced frames and implementing unbraced frame design procedures, primarily using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specification.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
