Steel Design

by William T. Segui

Overview

Learn the fundamentals of structural steel design with STEEL DESIGN’s unique emphasis on the design of members and their connections. With this best-selling book, you can learn LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) or ASD (Allowable Stress Design), depending on how your course is taught. You will master the application of fundamental principles for design procedures, as well as for practical design. You will also study the theory behind these procedures, which further strengthens your engineering knowledge. While this market-leading book is ideal for your junior-and senior-level steel design class, later chapters are also useful for graduate courses. The book functions as a valuable ongoing reference tool for success in your career as a practicing engineer.

About the Author

William T. Segui was Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at The University of Memphis, where he served as a member of the faculty from 1968. He held a B.S.C.E, M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina. After obtaining his B.S.C.E., he served as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force. He then joined Wilbur Smith Associates, where he was a highway bridge designer. During graduate school, he received an NSF Graduate Traineeship. After joining the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Memphis, he received two NASA/ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowships at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Segui worked several summers for various consulting firms and for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He received the University of Memphis Distinguished Teaching Award in 2000. Dr. Segui was an emeritus member of the American Institute of Steel Construction and a member of the Committee on Manuals. He received the 2011 AISC Special Achievement Award for his contributions to steel design education. He was a Life Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a member of the Tennessee Structural Engineers Association. Dr. Segui was also a licensed professional engineer in Tennessee.

Editorial Reviews

"I really like this text because of the suggestions and hints provided. The examples in the text also match well with the ones in the AISC Manual. Together, they give the students the full range of techniques they will need when they become practicing engineers."

"Easy to understand and quite clear."

"The book is well written and at an appropriate level for a first steel design class."
