This edition is the thirteenth major update of the AISC Steel Construction
Manual, which was first published in 1927. With this revision, the previously
separate Allowable Stress Design and Load and Resistance Factor Design methods
have been combined. Thus, this Manual replaces both the 9th Edition ASD Manual
and the 3rd Edition LRFD Manual. Much of the HSS Connections Manual has also
been incorporated and updated in the Steel Construction Manual.
The following specifications, codes and standards are printed in Part 16 of the Steel Construction
Manual:
2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings
2004 RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts
2005 AISC Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges
The following resources are also included on the CD:
AISC Design Examples, which illustrates the application of tables and
specification provisions that are included in this Manual.
AISC Shapes Database V13.0 and V13.0H
Background and supporting literature for the AISC Steel Construction Manual
The following major improvements have been made in this revision:
The number of design examples has been expanded and included in a companion
CD.
All tabular information has been updated to comply with the 2005
Specification for Structural Buildings and the standards and other documents
referenced therein.
Shape information has been updated to ASTM A6-05, including the new W36 shape
series.
Design methods have been delineated by making use of a dual color format,
with numbers indicated in blue type representing LRFD design values, and numbers
indicated in green shading representing ASD design values. Tabulated values
presented in black type are independent of design method
Information on HSS connections has been integrated throughout this Manual.
W8 members have been reintegrated into design tables with cautionary
statements regarding accessibility and dimensional constraints for connections
made to them.
Shapes with special design considerations, such as slenderness in compression
or non-compactness in flexure, have been indicated throughout the member
selection tables with footnotes.
Workable flat dimensions of HSS members have been tabulated.
Design properties for Pipe are now tabulated using the same wall thickness
reduction factor used for HSS.
An overview of provisions and a simplified method have been included for
second-order analysis and stability requirements.
New information has been added on corrosion protection and compatibility of
dissimilar metals.
Charts have been added for shear strength of plate girders.
Lower-bound strengths for eccentrically loaded single angles have been
tabulated
Tables have been added for the critical buckling stress of compression members.
Tables for members subjected to combined axial load and bending have been
expanded and improved.
A table has been provided for calculating the strength of concentrically
loaded weld groups.
A direct calculation method has been added for calculating the buckling
strength of double coped members.
Prying action provisions have been modified so that the tensile strength is
used in the calculation rather than the yield strength.
Beam bearing constants have been expanded to include all crippling and
yielding cases.
Revised design procedures for single-plate shear connections have been
adopted, including a new design procedure for extended single-plate shear
connections.
An updated design procedure for moment end-plate connections has been adopted
based upon yield-line analysis.
The uniform force method weld ductility factor has changed from 1.4 to 1.25.
Guidance on washer selection for anchor rods has been expanded.
The design of bracket plates has been modified so that the plastic section
modulus is used rather than the elastic section modulus.
The AISC Design Guide Series and other supporting references have been
further integrated through indexing and references to this material, where
appropriate.
In addition, many other improvements have been made throughout the new 13th Edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual.
