DESCRIPTION:
mcp70 said Learn and Practice Ductile Design. As both a graduate student and practicing engineer, I have used the 1st edition of this book and have been using the "Learn and Practice Ductile Design" according to mcp70. As both a graduate student and practicing engineer, I have used the 1st edition of this book and have been using the 2nd edition as an academic researcher. The book is very well written and comprehensive, providing a single source reference for the ductile design of steel structures especially for seismic design. Concepts of ductile design are presented from a material and cross-section mec. nd edition as an academic researcher.

By blending a review of current research efforts with clear design procedures, Prof Bruneau and his co-authors provide an engineering textbook different than many others. It's more than a how-to; it's more of a here's-why.The book offers aspiring and practicing engineers a thorough explanation of different frame options and u. Amazon Customer said Wrong book. I received the book, the cover was ok but the content was of the book: Structural Renovation of Buildings by Alexander Newman.
Michel Bruneau, P.E., P.Eng., is Professor in the Department of Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and an ASCE Fellow. Sabelli is the coauthor of AISC Design Guide 20: Steel Plate Shear Walls as well as of numerous research papers on conventional and buckling
The book covers steel material, cross-section, component, and system response for applications in plastic and seismic design, and provides practical guidance on how to incorporate these principles into structural design.Three new chapters address buckling-restrained braced frame design, steel plate shear wall design, and hysteretic energy dissipating systems and design strategies. Eight other chapters have been extensively revised and expanded, including a chapter presenting the basic seismic design philosophy to determine seismic loads. Comprehensive coverage of the background and design requirements for plastic and seismic design of steel structuresThoroughly revised throughout, Ductile Design of Steel Structures, Second Edition, reflects the latest plastic and seismic design provisions and standards from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the Canadian Standard
Rafael Sabelli, S.E., is a Principal and Director of Seismic Design at Walter P. Dr. Moore and Associates, Inc., and was President of the Structural Engineers Association of California from 2009 to 2010. Dr. Uang has authored numerous articles on seismic behavior and design of steel structures. Mr. Bruneau has conducted extensive research on the evaluation and retrofit of existing steel structures subjected to large destructive forces. . He has authored more than 400 technical publications and has received many awards for his work. A member of the AISC’s Committee on Specification and Committee
