This volume reveals the behaviour and design of cold-formed steel
structures, connections and systems. It describes the AISI
Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural
Members published in July 2000, which goves the design of all
cold-formed steel frames, including roof, wall and racking systems,
and cold-formed steel residential construction in the USA. The text
offers worked examples which can be programmed using MATHCAD or
EXCEL.
