Aisc Design Guide

This second-edition design guide has been created to assist engineers and fabricators in the design, detailing and specification of column-base-plate and anchor-rod connections, in a manner that avoids common fabrication and erection problems. This new Guide is based on the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 2005) and includes design guidance in accordance with both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD).

AISC Design Guide 5: Design of Low-and Medium-Rise Steel Buildings, 1991 Edition

AISC Design Guide 5 covers the design of low- and medium-rise steel buildings, including economic design considerations, loading requirements and joist and composite floor systems.

AISC Design Guide 6: Load and Resistance Factor Design of W-Shapes Encased in Concrete, 1992 Edition

AISC Design Guide 6: Load and Resistance Factor Design of W-Shapes Encased in Concrete covers the design of W-shape columns encased in reinforced structural concrete with vertical deformed reinforcing bars and lateral ties, including the associated connection design issues, placement of reinforcing bars and ties, and treatment of joints and base plates.

The American Institute of Steel Construction, often abbreviated AISC, is a not-for-profit technical institute and trade association for the use of structural steel in the construction industry of the United States. It is headquartered in Chicago, IL. Their mission is to make structural steel the material of choice for new structures. They supply specifications, codes, technical assistance, quality certification, standardization, and market development for its members.

AISC Design Guide 3: Serviceability Design Considerations for Steel Buildings, 2003 Edition

This updated Design Guide includes serviceability design criteria for all building types, including tall buildings. Covered topics include deflection, vibration, and drift as they relate to cladding, roofing, skylights, interior partitions, equipment, and motion perception.

AISC Design Guide 4: Extended End-Plate Moment Connections Seismic and Wind Applications, 2004 Edition

The second edition of Design Guide 4: Extended End-Plate Moment Connections Seismic and Wind Applications is now available. Written by Tom Murray of Virginia Tech and Emmett Sumner of NC State, the guide makes use of yield line theory in a new design philosophy extended end-plate moment connections in wind and seismic applications. This allows extended end-plate moment connections to be designed using 50ksi steel.

Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) is pleased to announce the availability of SAP2000 25.2.0 (2619). This release adds the latest AISC 360-22/AISC 341-22 steel frame design as well as the API 4F 5th Edition 2020 steel frame design. For those working with steel-framed floor systems, serviceability assessment of these floors subjected to walking vibrations has been added following Chapter 7 of the AISC Steel Design Guide 11.
