Salmon & Johnson Book

Salmon & Johnson Book

Salmon & Johnson Book

(OP)
Does anybody know when the new edition will be released?

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

It was originally supposed to be released in April.  That got pushed to July, now it is December.  I already have my copy pre-ordered, so I am really hoping it doesn't push again.  That date of December was as of the last time I checked (about 2 months ago), it might be next July by now!

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

I didn't get a chance to go Salmon fishing with my four horse Johnson this year - maybe next.

Personally, I'm a Ferguson type of guy.

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

I look forward to its release.  My yellow one from about 1991 is getting old!  I have at least 5 other steel books and none holds a candle to S&J.

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

I am teaching a steel course next semester at the local university and I am so far impressed with the Segui book.

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

I think alot of the theory and detail in the S&J book is above the heads of most undergrads.  I looked at it for compression members recently and was like, "if I had to completely understand the development of alot of these equations when I was learning steel design I would have been in deep ****".  That being said, I hope it is the book of choice when I have my graduate level steel class.

Does the Segui book reference the 13th edition steel manual?

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

Yes Segui does reference 13th and carries all equations through LRFD and what they are now calling ASD.

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

What edition of Salmon and Johnson steel design are we talking about here?  Does this issue mirror the design philosphy of the 13th edition AISC?

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

I think it will be the fourth edition.  It is supposed to be based around the 13th steel manual.

We used it in Steel I also.  Just skipped over the stuff that causes eyes to glaze over.

Definitely the book to have if you need to know where this stuff comes from.

RE: Salmon & Johnson Book

I ate lunch last April with Dr. Salmon at the AISC annual convention in New Orleans. He is enjoying the retirement in Arizona. Good for him. Dr. Farris either co-authoring the text. I think they said that the book was not ready at that time. It will reflect the 13th edition of the steel manual.
