Steel Structures: Design and Behavior (4th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: There are a lot of mistakes
Review: I have already read the book and study many of the examples, my classmates and I have found many mistakes in the fourth edition, however the information contained and the subjects studied are very complete. I hope the next edition will have those examples solved in a correct way in order to clasify this book as an excellent text.

Summary: Many errors
Review: Like another reviewer said, this book has a lot of errors. I have been using the 4th edition paperback in class for about 2 months now and my class has found more than a few errors. It seems like evertime the professor assigns some problems out of the book, he has to change one or more because they are wrong. Very frustrating. Additionally, the problems in this book are designed for the old A36 steel. Otherwise, this book seems to cover a lot of material and is pretty easy to understand.

Rating:
Summary: great text book
Review: The book is a great textbook for students and practicing engineers. It covers pretty much all the steel topics. It has plenty of examples from ASD design to LRFD design. I think that out of all of the steel design books out there, this is the best.

Summary: The All IN ONE textbook
Review: This book provides both the theory and practical applications needed to understand both LRFD and ASD Steel Design. The problems provided at the end of each chapter can be worked using either method. The example problems within the chapters provide valuable insight to procedures and techniques in solving problems. Having read many different books by Mr. Solman I have never been disappointed, and have always gained great knowledge from his books.
