By providing theoretical background and practical design methods, this book brings together all the information necessary for the economical design of cold-formed steel members. It reflects the 1986 and 1989 revisions of the American Iron & Steel Institute (AISI) specifications for cold-formed steel. Detailed discussions on the reasoning behind and the justification for various design methods are included. Both Allowable Stress Design Method and Load and Resistance Factor Design Method are used.
