I dedicate this book to the memory of my parents, Jurjis and Sabat
Abu-Saba, who did not have the privilege to go to school. Yet they
believed in the power of knowledge and provided us, their children, with
the opportunity to learn and grow.
The infinite spans the human mind.
The spirit spins free of space and time.
The joy and sadness of life are a wink
In the eternal flow.
The stream cascades and meanders
To merge and be lost in the greater sea.

Preface
This book is intended for classroom teaching in architectural and civil
engineering at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Although it has
been developed from lecture notes given in structural steel design, it can
be useful to practicing engineers. Many of the examples presented in this
book are drawn from the field of design of structures.
Design of Steel Structures can be used for one or two semesters of three
hours each on the undergraduate level. For a two-semester curriculum,
Chapters 1 through 8 can be used during the first semester. Heavy
emphasis should be placed on Chapters 1 through 5, giving the student a
brief exposure to the consideration of wind and earthquakes in the design
of buildings. With the new federal requirements vis a vis wind and
earthquake hazards, it is beneficial to the student to have some under
standing of the underlying concepts in this field. In addition to the class
lectures, the instructor should require the student to submit a term project
that includes the complete structural design of a multi-story building using
standard design procedures as specified by AISC Specifications. Thus, the
use of the AISC Steel Construction Manual is a must in teaching this
course. In the second semester, Chapters 9 through 13 should be covered.
At the undergraduate level, Chapters 11 through 13 should be used on a
limited basis, leaving the student more time to concentrate on composite
construction and built-up girders.
Chapters 6, 11, 12, 13, and 14 can be used for a graduate course. As a
prerequisite for the graduate course, the student must have a minimum of
three credit hours in the design of steel structures. The instructor will go
into more depth in the presentation of Chapters 6, 11, 12, and 13. The
student should be required to submit a term project using rigid frames in
multi story buildings. Chapter 14 provides a simple method which can
easily be computerized, allowing the student the facility of designing
medium- to high-rise buildings using steel frames. U. S. customary units
are used throughout, although some examples are presented with S. I.
units. To help students convert from U. S. units to S. I. units, tables of
conversion are provided in Chapter 1.
The allowable stress design method (ASD) is used predominantly in this
book. To help the student appreciate the load and resistance factored
