"Since it first published in 1985, Cold-Formed Steel Design has been hailed by professionals around the world as the definitive text for those who design for and work with cold-formed steel. There is no competition when it comes to the extensive coverage of both theory and practice of cold-formed steel construction. This Fifth Edition is updated to reflect the 2016 AISI North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. The text has been revised to incorporate the Direct Strength Method (DSM) in the main body of design provisions"-- Provided by publisher.
