Compendium of Design Office Problems-Volume III

This is the third in a series of papers aimed at resolving structural engineering issues faced by the designers of steel building structures. The emphasis is on practical solutions that the designer can use directly, without extensive further research. Each issue is listed separately, with a technical discussion of the problem followed by a suggested solution, and references provided where appropriate. In addition, topics currently under study by the ASCE Committee on Design of Steel Building Structures are listed, as are subjects identified by the Committee as being in need of investigation.
