Chen and T. Atsuta in 1976-77 (McGraw-Hill, New York), our understanding of certain aspects of the behavior and design of steel members and frames has increased considerably and many extensions and advances during the last 10 years have been made. In particular, the rapid development in computer hardware and software has made it possible for engineers and designers to predict structural behavior quite accurately. The advancement in structural analysis techniques coupled with the increased understanding of structural behavior has made it possible for engineers to adopt the limit state design philosophy. A limit state is defined as a condition at which a structural member or its component ceases to perform its intended function under normal conditions (serviceability limit) or failure under severe conditions (ultimate limit state). The recently published Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC, 1986) is based on the limit states philosophy and thus represents a more rational approach to the design of steel structures in general, and beam-columns in particular. This book is a concise encapsulation of recent research works on the analysis and design of steel members and frames. The primary objective is to provide the reader with a course of reference for current topics of interest in inelastic member and frame analysis/design and the effect of joint flexibility on frame behavior and design. The book is a practical work that will usefully supplement the traditional texts on the theory and design of structural stability. The systematic layout of selected topics from structural members to connections to frames makes it possible to lead the reader to the front of present research without presupposing prior familiarity with the subject. In fact, much of the material presented in the recent monographs Joint Flexibility in Steel Frames (1987) and Steel Beam-to-Column Connections ( 1988), edited by W.F. Chen (Elsevier Applied Science, London) is of a fairly recent origin, and is combined here with the more recent work completed at Purdue, Syracuse, and elsewhere, to form the basis of the present book. The material presented here in a unified format may not be found in the standard reference works of the field. W.F. Chen E.M. Lui 1991 vii
