Review Summary: comprehensive book on steel construction
Date: 2008-11-16

Review Summary: Good Book
Date: 2008-08-02
Details: I used the third edition of this book (LRFD) in my undergraduate and I used this edition for my graduate class. It is a great help for me as I am not a steel expert. I like it's simple form and the use of both LRFD and ASD in all examples.
Review Summary: Good book for students and general reference, but...
Date: 2008-02-08
Details: I studied with this book in my years at the university. I was looking for a good reference book and I decided to buy this one. But when i went thru the chapters, I realized that all the topics are very student-oriented (as it's saying in the book's preface). I'm still looking for good advanced analysis and design book.
If you are an engineer, starting in the steel analysis and design, this is the book for you.
If your are an engineer looking for in-deep and advanced reference and explanations...look for another.
