Description
Summary:"Not only does this book provide readers with a solid foundation in structural stability theory, it also offers them a practical, working knowledge of how this theory translates into design specifications for safe steel structures. - Structural Stability of Steel features detailed discussions of the elastic and inelastic stability of steel columns, beams, beam-columns, and frames alongside numerous worked examples. - For each type of structural member or system, the authors set forth recommended design rules with clear explanations of how they were derived. - "This book is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in structural engineering. - Practicing engineers should also turn to this book for expert assistance in investigating and solving a myriad of stability problems."--Jacket
