Designed so that professionals can create the structural calculation package and the detailing as quickly and economically as possible. Contains 239 representative drawings, each one on a separate page that includes a description, a checklist summarizing the detail and a small plan view which suggests the location on the structural drawing where the detail can be applied. An accompanying disk in CAD format allows users to import the details and customize them to their needs. In addition, every drawing is saved in a separate file in .DXF format that can be loaded into most CAD software programs and modified, plotted or printed as needed.
The author has organized the most commonly used steel details in CAD formats. I belive many engineers or enthusiast who do not have similar CAD details in their computer will appreciate Mr. Zayat's works, since the CAD files will reduce effort to develop details not form the scratch.A nice collection of seed files are ready to be tansfered into Auto CAD or Microstation.This book is not for steel detailers who want to see more rigorous detailing that normally shown in AISC's publications such as "Detailing for Steel Construction" and "Engineering for Steel Construction".For students who want to use those details may need other references or somebody to find out the reason and mechanics behind those details.
