Bracing Cold-Formed Steel Structures takes the frustration out of design

Bracing Cold-Formed Steel Structures: A Design Guide is an essential guide for engineers, detailing the current practices related to bracing cold-formed steel structure elements and systems. This informative guide covers the risks and processes involved in using cold-formed steel, and removes some of the perceived mystery by providing readily useful information for bracing these structures. Presented as a design guide, the book will assist the practicing engineer in designing cold-formed steel structures with greater levels of reliability, safety, and economy.

The book contains many applications and examples, supplemented by design models illustrating bracing design for various types of cold-formed steel structures. The book also contains an extensive list of primary reference sources. 144 pp.
