Stability and Analysis Provisions of the 2005 AISC Specification for Steel Buildings

The provisions regarding analysis and, especially, stability in the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings represent a significant departure from previous editions. The changes were intended to reflect the current state of knowledge and also to make the logical basis of the stability provisions more apparent to the user. The new provisions spell out the general safety- and reliability-based requirements that must be satisfied in all structural designs and give designers the freedom to select or devise their own methods of analysis within these constraints. The Specification also offers designers specific procedures applicable to many typical building structures.
