Cold-Formed Steel Design by WW. Yu





PREFACE

This third edition of the book has been prepared to provide readers with a

better understanding of the analysis and design of the thin-walled, coldformed

steel structures that have been so widely used in building construction

and other areas in recent years. It is a revised version of my book, ColdFormed

Steel Design, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in 1991. All the

revisions are based on the 1996 edition of the AISI Specification with the

Supplement No. 1 which combines the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and

the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methods.

The material was originally developed for graduate courses and short

courses in the analysis and design of cold-formed steel structures and is based

on experience in design, research, and development of American Iron and

Steel Institute (AISI) design criteria.
