Theory of Beam-Columns, Volume 1: In-Plane Behavior and Design

This first volume of a two-volume work presents the basic theoretical principles, methods of analysis in obtaining the solutions of beam-columns, and developments of theories of biaxially loaded beam-columns, and shows how these theories can be used in the solution of practical design problems. After presenting the basic theory the authors proceed to solutions of particular problems. The book discusses both refined and simplified design procedures, along with their limitations. It is left to the engineer to choose among them as he sees fit.
