THE UP-TO-DATE EDITION OF THE CLASSIC
GUIDE -- FROM LEADING EXPERTS IN STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND
RESEARCH.
First published in 1960, the Guide to Stability Design is
the reference of choice for civil and structural engineers
seeking reliable, in-depth coverage of stability problems
and research. This extensively revised Fifth Edition bridges
theory and practice to offer simplified and refined procedures
both for design and for the assessment of design limitations,
as well as detailed guidance on design specifications, codes
and standards concerning the stability of metal structures.
Written by members of the Structural Stability Research
Council task groups and other specialists, all material
has been updated to reflect recent developments in each
subject area. The Fifth Edition features eight new chapters
covering the latest procedures in horizontal curved steel
I-girders, composite columns and structural systems, stability
of angle members, bracing, frame stability, doubly curved
shells and shell-like structures, stability under seismic
loading, and stability analysis by the finite element method.
Complete with over 100 new illustrations, plus references,
technical memoranda, and name and subject indexes, the Guide
to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures, Fifth
Edition is ready to go to work for a new generation of structural
and civil engineers in their daily practice.
Theodore V. Galambos, Ph.D., is Emeritus Professor, Department
of Civil Engineering, University of Minnesota. He is the
recipient of awards that include five ASCE prizes, he is
the author of Structural Members and Frames, co-author of
Structural Steel Design, Second Edition, and Basic Steel
Design with LRFD, and editor of the Guide to Stability Design
Criteria for Metal Structures, Fourth Edition (Wiley).
