Reseña del libro "Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures"
The definitive guide to stability design criteria, fully updatedand incorporating current research Representing nearly fifty years of cooperation between Wiley andthe Structural Stability Research Council, the Guide toStability Design Criteria for Metal Structures is oftendescribed as an invaluable reference for practicing structuralengineers and researchers. For generations of engineers andarchitects, the Guide has served as the definitive work ondesigning steel and aluminum structures for stability. Under theeditorship of Ronald Ziemian and written by SSRC task group memberswho are leading experts in structural stability theory andresearch, this Sixth Edition brings this foundational workin line with current practice and research.The Sixth Edition incorporates a decade of progress inthe field since the previous edition, with new featuresincluding:Updated chapters on beams, beam-columns, bracing, plates,box girders, and curved girders. Significantly revised chapters oncolumns, plates, composite columns and structural systems, framestability, and archesFully rewritten chapters on thin-walled (cold-formed)metal structural members, stability under seismic loading, andstability analysis by finite element methodsState-of-the-art coverage of many topics such as shearwalls, concrete filled tubes, direct strength member design method,behavior of arches, direct analysis method, structural integrityand disproportionate collapse resistance, and inelastic seismicperformance and design recommendations for various moment-resistantand braced steel framesComplete with over 350 illustrations, plus references andtechnical memoranda, the Guide to Stability Design Criteria forMetal Structures, Sixth Edition offers detailed guidance andbackground on design specifications, codes, and standardsworldwide.
