Steel Design Manual

The Steel Design Manual is a comprehensive guide used by engineers to ensure steel structures like buildings, bridges, and towers are safe, efficient, and durable. It provides detailed standards, formulas, and best practices for selecting, designing, and testing steel components under various loads and conditions. This manual helps engineers design structures that can withstand forces such as weight, wind, and earthquakes while optimizing material use. Essentially, it acts as a trusted reference to promote safe, reliable, and cost-effective steel construction practices.
