Designed so that instructors can easily teach either LRFD or ASD, or both with most examples incorporating both LRFD and ASD solutions. * Assigned problems are given at the end of each chapter, providing practice with both approaches, and where appropriate, the required approach is specified in the statement of the problem. * Answers to selected problems are given at the back of the book. * Although this book is oriented toward practical design, sufficient theory is included to avoid a "cookbook" approach. * Instructor Resources including a full Instructor"s Solutions Manual, PowerPoint slides, and Lecture Builder PowerPoints are available for free download for Instructors.
