AISC Design Examples Version 14

The primary objective of these design examples is to provide illustrations of the use of the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10) and the 14th Edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual. The design examples provide coverage of all applicable limit states whether or not a particular limit state controls the design of the member or connection. In addition to the examples which demonstrate the use of the Manual tables, design examples are provided for connection designs beyond the scope of the tables in the Manual. These design examples are intended to demonstrate an approach to the design, and are not intended to suggest that the approach presented is the only approach. The committee responsible for the development of these design examples recognizes that designers have alternate approaches that work best for them and their projects. Design approaches that differ from those presented in these examples are considered viable as long as the Specification, sound engineering, and project specific requirements are satisfied.





Part I of these examples is organized to correspond with the organization of the Specification. The Chapter titles match the corresponding chapters in the Specification. Part II is devoted primarily to connection examples that draw on the tables from the Manual, recommended design procedures, and the breadth of the Specification. The chapters of Part II are labeled II-A, II-B, II-C, etc. Part III addresses aspects of design that are linked to the performance of a building as a whole. This includes coverage of lateral stability and second order analysis, illustrated through a four-story braced-frame and moment frame building.
