  • Steel Design Guide: Staggered Truss Framing Systems

    Steel Design Guide: Staggered Truss Framing Systems
    Jan 14 2026
    A comprehensive resource for structural engineers on designing buildings utilizing the staggered-truss system, particularly for mid-rise residential and hospitality structures. The source details the advantages of staggered trusses, including their efficiency for lateral load resistance and reduced floor-to-floor height, and provides a thorough design methodology encompassing diaphragm action, gravity and lateral load calculations, and the specific design of truss members and connections. Furthermore, it incorporates chapters on seismic design requirements, specialized topics like openings and erection, and fire protection considerations for this steel framing system.

  • Steel Design Guide: Flush and Extended Multiple-Row Moment End-Plate Connections

    Steel Design Guide: Flush and Extended Multiple-Row Moment End-Plate Connections
    Jan 13 2026
    Provides detailed design procedures, equations, and limitations for various connection configurations, largely based on extensive research utilizing yield-line theory and the modified Kennedy method for predicting bolt forces, which includes the effect of prying action. The guide discusses the use of these bolted connections in rigid frame construction, particularly in the metal building industry, and includes limit state checks and considerations for both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD). Furthermore, it addresses specific design procedures for gable frame panel zones and the performance of these connections under seismic and cyclic loading.

  • Steel Design Guide: Industrial Buildings Roofs to Anchor Rods

    Steel Design Guide: Industrial Buildings Roofs to Anchor Rods
    Jan 12 2026
    Focuses on the structural engineering of industrial buildings without and with cranes. The document provides detailed technical information, including design considerations for elements like roof and wall systems, framing schemes, and column anchorage. A significant portion of the guide is dedicated to specific design criteria, such as loading conditions, serviceability criteria, and methods for handling crane-induced loads and fatigue provisions. Ultimately, it serves as a technical reference for professionals involved in the planning and construction of these complex steel structures.
