new salmon and johnson book
was flipping through amazon and found this
i'll believe it when september 18 rolls around and someone actually gets it. it was originally supposed to be available in april of 2007 (yes, that is correct, april of '07), but the date kept moving back (probably about 7 or 8 times). i had it pre-ordered through amazon over a year ago and got sick of waiting so i canceled my order. i'll wait until it is actually out to order it.
is this book worth getting if you follow csa s16 or is the information general and not code specific?
thanks
clansman - the older s&j book i have does include some good information - but when the examples showed up they generally followed the aisc specifications. it would still be a useful book for anyone - but if there is a good quality csa-specific book out there it would be better to go with that i'm sure.
exactly jae,
csa s16 differs from aisc, however the fundamentals are the same. salmon johnson 3rd ed. i use as a basic reference, so yes that dates me.
clansman;
steel design 'guide to stability design criteria for metal structures' is a must, t.v. galambos is the 'god' of steel design but haven't got around to purchasing latest edition and still have the 4th edition handy.
s-16 (canadian) contains many useful references, which are what your looking for anyways, ie the references.
connect2,
3rd edition doesn't date you too much. mine is 2nd edition and it was hot off the presses in my grad school advanced structures class. it's still a good reference.
ha, click on the site again, it's moved back to october 11. if we're lucky it might actually be out by the time the next steel spec is released!
connect2,
curious to know how csa s16 differs from aisc. i don't know aisc. i was told they are similar to some extant.
can't think of a better way to fish for salmon than with a johnson outboard...
couldn't pass that one up either...

now it's moved to oct. 20. they'll have to release it eventually, right?!
i'm hoping so, at least the date only seems to have moved a week this time... as opposed to a month
