This volume reveals the behaviour and design of cold-formed steel
structures, connections and systems. It describes the AISI
Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural
Members published in July 2000, which governs the design of all
cold-formed steel frames, including roof, wall and racking systems,
and cold-formed steel residential construction in the USA. The text
offers worked examples which can be programmed using MATHCAD or
EXCEL.
This up-to-the-minute reference comprehensively covers the behavior
and design of cold-formed steel structures, connections, and
systems-describing the latest edition of, and amendment to, the
American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Specification for the
Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members published in July
2000, which governs the design of all cold-formed steel structures,
including roof, wall, and rack systems, and cold-formed steel
residential construction in the USA. Offers worked examples which
can be programmed using MATHCADTM or EXCELTM as well as useful
references in every chapter Cold-Formed Steel Structures to the
AISI Specification details contemporary applications for steel
storage racks and metal construction of roof and wall systems
buckling modes of thin-walled members effective width equations for
stiffened or unstiffened flanges, partially stiffened elements, and
webs with holes state-of-the-art methods for bracing channel and
zee sections against torsional and lateral deformations and more
With over 700 references, equations, tables, drawings, and
illustrations, Cold-Formed Steel Structures to the AISI
Specification is an authoritative reference for civil, structural,
project, design, materials, and industrial engineers; and
upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these
disciplines.
This book presents a personal collection of ancestor sculpture and
protective deities, following the ancient migratory and trade
routes of the Austronesian, Southeast Asian Bronze Age, and
Hindu-Buddhist peoples. The author, Thomas Murray, has spent a
lifetime studying this art through his endeavours as a peripatetic
dealer, collector, and field researcher. The objects illustrated
come from a swath of widely varied cultures from Nepal eastward to
Hawaii, with the overwhelming majority from Indonesia and Southeast
Asia. Murray's eye is highly informed and based on an unusually
large sampling of objects to which his experience and research have
exposed him. The artworks documented represent some of the top
examples he has acquired and retained over the course of a long
career. They are characterised by sculptural balance and a harmony
of line, as well as a rare quality of expressiveness. Each ranks
high in terms of aesthetics and desirability within its own
particular style as perceived by the art market and by other
western aficionados.
Gathered over the course of four decades, the Thomas Murray
collection of Indonesian textiles is one of the most important in
the world. The objects comprise ritual clothing and ceremonial
cloths that tell us much about the traditions of pre-Islamic
Indonesian cultures, as well as the influences of regional trade
with China, India, the Arab world, and Europe. As with the earlier
volume, Textiles of Japan (Prestel, 2018), the book focuses on some
of the finest cloths to come out of the archipelago, presenting
each object with impeccable photographs. Geographically arranged,
this volume pays particular attention to textiles from the Batak
and the Lampung region of Sumatra, the Dayak of Borneo, and the
Toraja of Sulawesi, as well as rare textiles from Sumba, Timor and
other islands. Readers will learn about the intricate traditions of
dyeing, weaving, and beading techniques that have been practiced
for centuries. Original texts by international experts offer
historical context, unspool the mysteries behind ancient
iconography, and provide new insights into dating and provenance.
At once opulent and scholarly, this book arrives at a moment of
growing interest in Southeast Asian culture and carries the
imprimatur of one of the art world's leading collectors.
