Ductile Design of Steel Structures, 2nd Edition 2nd Edition

This text was extremely useful in a seismic design course I took. By blending a review of current research efforts with clear design procedures, Prof Bruneau and his co-authors provide an engineering textbook different than many others. It's more than a how-to; it's more of a here's-why.The book offers aspiring and practicing engineers a thorough explanation of different frame options and understanding of their behavior. It then demonstrates how best to design each particular type of frame including design examples. At the same time, the authors make clear that there is still research to be done to better understand the behavior of steel structures under earthquake loads.I suspect this is one of those textbooks that I will reference for years to come.

A must have for all engineers, researchers, and students interested in developing solid background in plastic design and seismic design of steel structures. Also a great reference book. Emphasis on behavior and understanding, which is they key to a great career in structural engineering.

Excellent reference for steel design. It has historic background about every structural sistem. The topics include: frames, braced frames: concentrically and excentrically braced and other systems.

这本书作为教材，深入浅出，非常适合自学！并且教授的讲课也很Nice! 对了，本书作者Professor Michel Bruneau还有两本小说Shaken Allegiances,The Emancipating Death of a Boring Engineer,从中能看到教授的另一面！还有还有，作者是加拿大人，祝贺冬奥会加拿大冰球夺冠！The schematic pictures are also very useful! I hope one day can see its kindle version!

Excellence reference for the design of steel buildings under earthquake loads. Has usual information on framed and braced structures but also has a good section on steel plate shear walls. For overseas readers many examples are in imperial units but still gives good guidance.

Excellent book in advanced design topics of steel, recommended after taking one or two courses on basic steel design.

What can you say, useful source of design information and especially like the digital version

Es mi libro favorito de estructuras de acero, sin embargo, me enviaron una version con sus hojas pegadas

Muy bien

An excellent reference to know more about advanced structural steel design

Referencia ideal para el estudio de estructuras de acero

Thanks to Prof. Bruneau and the co-authors for writing such an amazing textbook for steel structures. This has been a great reference for my PhD research.

Llegó en perfecto estado y antes de lo dispuesto. Definitivamente una bibliografía importante para estudiantes de maestría o para consulta en la práctica común de la ingeniería estructural.
