By stripping the load and resistance factors from the design expressions, this book is able to compare the essential rules of engineering on which the codes are based and to compare the positions taken by three different code writing committees. The results contributes to a common specification document by signaling the areas of agreement and, more importantly, the areas of disagreement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for structural engineers working with aluminum, especially in Canada, Europe, or the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Society of Civil Engineers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011043836144,"sku":"9780784407677","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780784407677","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
