I want to study steel design according to AISC

Texas A&M provides some free resources here:
As far as I know, that is what they are teaching in the Civil Engineering Curriculum in the U.S. at any accredited university. The best schools to my knowledge are going to be University of Illinois - Chammpagne Urbana, U.C. Berkeley, and Georgia Tech plus many many others that are equally as good. Just google top Civil Engineering schools and you should find some good schools to look into.

Are you looking to attend a U.S. university or simply study material that would likely be presented there?
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

For me, I am biased towards the Texas schools, however, it also depends a lot on what you want to study. If you are interested in studying wind and the impact it has on structures, Texas Tech is the place you want to be. But if you are more interested in Seismic, then you may want to look at the West Coast schools. That's about all the information I have without having to google it myself.
Hi,
Im here just to recommend you 2 thing which helped me very very much while studying steel design and the AISC 360-10, the specification for steel buildings. The first one is to get the following book "Steel Structures - Design and Behavior" by Salmon Johnson and Malhas: Link that book is a must for students, much better than the more popular McCormac. Second thing that helped me was reading the commentary of AISC 360-10, incredibly many don´t do this.
Good luck

@Alaazaki: this is the document for you (free): Link
And this textbook per LQQD: Link
And this webinar series (free): Link
Digest all that, and you're likely to know more about steel design than most US M.Sc. grads. I'm one of those so I can say that without being offensive... I think.

@Kootk I'm only half way through my M Sc. and I would agree with you and would not find that offensive to say. They don't really teach a whole lot when it comes to practical design of steel structures. Heck, my undergraduate steel class was more advanced and informative than my Graduate Advanced steel class(taught at a different university).
