Methods for Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Systems
For a statically indeterminate structure, equations of equilibrium alone are not sufficient to permit analysis (see Art. 3.28). For such systems,

Metal Roof Deck
Steel-framed buildings often utilize a roof deck composed simply of metal deck. When properly sloped for drainage, the metal deck itself
Members Subjected to Torsion
Forces or moments that tend to twist a member are called torisonal loads. In shafts, the stresses and corresponding strains
Members Stressed Primarily in Bending
Rolled beams and fabricated girder spans provide economical bridges for railways. Laying out the lateral bracing system and diaphragms or cross
Member and Connection Design for Lateral Loads
Wind loads on steel structures are determined by first establishing the pressure distributions on structures after considering the appropriate design wind
Member and Joint Design Examples-LFD and SLD
Design of a truss member by the AASHTO LFD and SLD Specifications is illustrated in the following examples, The design includes
Members Subjected to Combined Forces
Most of the relationships presented in Arts. 3.16 to 3.19 hold only for symmetrical cross sections, e.g., rectangles, circles, and wide-flange
