Steel Design Guide with Examples? 1

[RustyDuster]

Hey everyone,

I have recently been thrown into the fray fresh out of college and have stumbled upon this site which has already helped me immensely. However, I was talking to another new graduate here and we both came to the same conclusion that it would be nice to get a book that has some steel design examples in it.

Our company doesn't deal a whole lot with concrete, just steel. We are an industrial design firm for pressure vessels and walkway platforms to name a few things. We are currently ordering our personal copies of Bednar for the pressure vessels, but we have yet to find a decent steel design book, with examples, as a reference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The new 13th Edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual comes with a CD that has lots of design examples. It looks like they were done using MathCAD but the actual files were not included, just the print outs.

Is the 4th edition S&J text only available in paperback?

I have the 4th ed hard cover on my desk right now.

I am looking for the 4th ed. (I confirmed that the 5th ed will not be out until Dec. 2008 at the earliest) and I can only find a paperback on Amazon or half.com. Additionally, this book is going for around $160. Does this sound right to others out there? That seems kind of high.
