The AISC 2010 Specification and the 14th Edition Steel Construction Manual
The 14th Edition of AISC's Steel Construction Manual will be available in the summer of 2011. The new manual includes and is based on the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. Because of the new specification, as well as some other modifications to the connection design procedures, the 14th Ed. Manual will include revisions to some of the existing 13th Ed. tables. Many of the changes in the 2010 Specification are clarifications and minor adjustments, along with some important substantive changes in Chapter I, composite design, and a new Chapter N on quality control and quality assurance. Some of the other notable revisions include: (1) Revised scope statement related to seismic design (Chapter A) (2) Structural integrity is addressed (Chapter B) (3) Stability design procedures are reorganized (Chapter C, Appendices 7 and 8) (4) Revised the available shear strength values for bolts (Chapter J) (5) Revised the slip-critical strength limit state for bolts (Chapter J) (6) Tabulated the HSS connection design equations (Chapter K) (7) New Appendix on Inelastic Analysis and Design (Appendix 1) In addition to the changes to the Specification, several changes and improvements related to connection design were also made to the Manual. These include: (1) Revised bolt value tables for both bearing and slip-critical connections (Part 7). (2) Revisions and additions to the eccentrically loaded weld group tables (Part 8). (3) Clarifications to the discussion of connecting elements subject to flexure (Part 9). (4) Revisions to the design procedure for conventional single-plate shear connections (Part 10). (5) A revised discussion on the design of flexible moment connections (Part 11).
