| Summary: | "This book help engineers select the most efficient designs for single span structural steel trusses, as well as discusses the optimization procedures that could be applied to other structures. Design charts and tools are included to assist engineers in making an informative initial selection of a truss and to enable further research. Topics include: Optimal distribution of material within a structure, Satisfying strength criteria during the optimization process, Unitless design parameters for spanning trusses, Vibration serviceability considerations in a truss selection, and Design assumptions and truss types considered in provided design charts. This publication will assist structural engineers in the design and optimization of steel trusses by providing early feedback on structural quantities when selecting a truss design. The structural quantities can be reasonably estimated before the actual design is even started. Included with this book purchase are the supplemental materials that contain editable spreadsheets and predesigned charts based on truss type."-- |
