Good steel building design book?

[sema79]

Hey guys. I am looking for a good book on the design of steel buildings such as large wharehouses. I know the basics of steel design but have never designed anything much larger than a moment frame or small steel addition. I have the steel design book I used in college but I am looking for something a little more in depth on the components used. Possibly even a contractors type book that shows the different components in a steel structure and how to assemble them. Does anyone have a good book/reference that they can recommend?

This is just for my quest for more knowledge. Thanks in advance!

I swear by a British book, "The Steel Designer's Manual". It used to be thought of as the steel designer's bible.
It used to be published by Crosby Lockwood.

Steel Design by Salmon and Johnson is usually a fan favorite and often a steel design class textbook

OH, and go to AISC's website and look at all of their guide books, there is one specifically for industrial buildings. And all other topics for that matter....

AISC design guide 7 covers industrial buildings if you're looking for that type of work specifically, it covers a lot of things that aren't shown in typical textbooks.

This is amazing. The 6th edition, Steel Designers' Manual is on-line. It's a bit slow but worth a look if you consider buying it. If you do, it may be cheaper to buy from Amazon-UK than from Amazon-USA.
