text book for lrfd third edition
can anyone recommend a good textbook that covers the lrfd third edition? i have one by jack mccormac for the first edition lrfd, but want something more current as i try to get up to speed on lrfd. up to this point in my career i have always used the 9th edition asd. thanks.
