Riassunto

Every structural steel project begins with the same high-stakes question: does this design satisfy the code?

For engineers working under the current United States steel specifications, that question now means demonstrating compliance with AISC 360-22 — a specification whose provisions span hundreds of limit-state checks, interaction equations, and classification criteria across member design, connections, composite systems, and seismic detailing.

The challenge facing today's is real. Existing references often lag behind the current code cycle, focus on academic theory without step-by-step calculation procedures, or cover individual topics without connecting them to whole-building behavior. Whether you are sizing a wide-flange beam for lateral-torsional buckling, checking a gusset plate for Whitmore-section yielding, or verifying a strong-column/weak-beam ratio at a seismic joint, the path from specification provision to verified result must be clear, repeatable, and traceable.

Structural Steel Design: AISC 360-22 Compliant Methods, Connections and Seismic Practice was written to bridge that gap. At 545 pages and 23 chapters, this comprehensive reference organizes the complete scope of steel building design into 101 clearly defined, code-compliant methods — each paired with fully worked numerical examples that show every step, every utilization ratio, and every pass/fail verdict.

Here is what you will gain from this book:

• The ability to classify steel sections, evaluate width-thickness ratios, and apply the correct limit-state equations for tension, compression, flexure, shear, and combined loading — with every design procedure tied to the 2022 specification provisions.
• Practical competence in connection design spanning high-strength bolted connections (bearing and slip-critical, bolt groups, prying action), welded connections (fillet, groove, and weld group analysis), and all common connection types from single-plate shear tabs through extended end-plate moment connections, HSS branch connections, column bases, and splices.
• Hands-on seismic design capability for moment frames (OMF, IMF, SMF), braced frames (OCBF, SCBF, BRBF), and eccentrically braced frames — including expected-strength calculations, capacity-design force paths, link classification, protected-zone requirements, and prequalified connection qualification per AISC 358-22.
• Composite design proficiency covering composite beams with full and partial shear connection, composite columns, steel headed stud anchors, and composite deck-slab systems.
• Professional-practice knowledge that most design references omit entirely — connection design responsibility, shop and erection drawing review, tolerances and camber, temporary bracing and erection stability, special inspection planning, quality control and assurance, peer review, and integrated building case studies.
• Over 30 worked examples throughout the book use real section sizes, actual material properties, and calculated utilization ratios, giving you a verified template for your own projects and a dependent study resource for professional licensing examinations.

This book is written for practicing structural engineers designing steel buildings under current US codes, engineers transitioning to the 2022 specification cycle, senior and graduate-level engineering students, PE and SE exam candidates, and construction professionals involved in fabrication, erection, or inspection.

Open this book, follow the methods, check the numbers, and design steel structures with the clarity and confidence that code-compliant practice demands. Get your copy today.
