商品簡介
This introduction to the structural behavior and design of cold-formed steel structural members, connections, and systems is in line with the latest edition of American Iron and Steel Institute specifications. Cold-formed members are often more difficult to design than conventional hot-rolled members because of their thinness and the unusual shapes that can be roll-formed; the text is intended to help engineers make the transition to cold-formed design. It is based on a text first published in 1988 in Australia, where co-author Hancock (U. of Sidney) is based; the other two authors are engineers associated with Virginia Tech and the U. of Florida.
