A New Approach for Design of Steel Beam-Columns

Aminmansour, Abbas (2000). "A New Approach for Design of Steel Beam-Columns," Engineering Journal, American Institute of Steel Construction, Vol. 37, pp. 41-72.

Design aids are developed using the AISC-LRFD Specifications for design of steel beam-columns. These aids give designers more options in design and often allow selection of sections that are more efficient for a given set of conditions than the current design aids do. Several examples are worked out using the current method of practice as well as the proposed method developed in this paper.
