Cold-Formed Steel Design , Third Edition by Wei -Wen Yu

Cold-Formed Steel Design, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in 1991. All the revisions are based on the 1996 edition of the AISI Specification with the
Supplement No. 1 which combines the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methods. The material was originally developed for graduate courses and short courses in the analysis and design of cold-formed steel structures and is based on experience in design, research, and development of American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) design criteria. Throughout the book, descriptions of the structural behavior of cold-formed steel members and connections are given from both the theoretical and the experimental points of view. The reasons and justification for the various design provisions of the AISI Specification are discussed at length. Consequently the text will not only be instructive for students but can serve as a major source of reference for structural engineers and researchers. Of the published book’s 14 chapters, Chapters 2 through 9 have been completely revised according to the combined ASD/LRFD Specification. Other chapters have been updated on the basis of available information. Chapter 14 is a new chapter on residential construction.
