{"product_id":"9780989511216","title":"Design of Steel Structures: Primer Workbook","description":"This book offers a concise and thorough presentation of fundamental steel design process, application and underlying structural principles and thus is committed to developing users' problem-solving skills. This workbook makes the contents of other textbooks of the same subject more visible, extractable, and relevant for an application or process. The material is reinforced with a variety of structural design examples of progressively varying degrees of difficulty to illustrate structural principles and design issues that focus on practical and realistic situations encountered in professional practice. This book features many photorealistic figures that is often depicted in a 3-dimensional view to appeal to visual learners. The case study problems and group workshop are designed to relate the verbal and visual elements to each other in an effective way. Most verbal elements are presented in categorized boxes. Some of the visual and verbal elements are deliberately left incomplete or blank so the instructor and students can complete them together in the classroom. This approach promotes problem-based learning and active participation from students, which can lead to a fundamental understanding that is more likely to be retained.","brand":"Matthias \u0026 Alex, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49785372115184,"sku":"9780989511216","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780989511216","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
