Product Description:
Study the design of steel building structures per the 2005 unified specification, ANSI/AISC 360-05 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings with this key resource. Author Louis F. Geschwindner first builds the foundation for steel design and then explores the various member types in more detail. He provides guidance for those new to the field as well as an excellent review for practicing engineers looking to learn the provisions of the unified specification and to convert their practice from the old specifications to the new one.

Rating : - This is not a good book
I purchased this book for my undergraduate course of Structural Design for Steel. Using it as a reference with the 5th edition of the AISCM I found it trouble and bought a different book to use as a reference. If you are a structural engineer or student don't even waste your money. Look for a different book. I also have to agree with other reviewers that this book is way to thin to cover the topic of steel design
