RESEÑA:

This Manual 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 this Manual. The following specifications, codes, and standards are printed in Part 16 of this 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 included with this Manual

  • 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 specifications, codes, and standards are printed in Part 16 of this 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-ROM included with this manual: 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. The AISC Shapes Database V13.0 provides electronic access to dimensions and properties of W-, M-, S-, and HP-shapes, channels (C- and MC-shapes), angles (L-and 2L-shapes), tees (WT-, ST-, and MT-shapes), hollow structural sections (HSS) and steel pipe (P, PX, PXX), as given in the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 13th Edition. U.S. customary and metrics units included. The AISC Shapes Database V13.0H provides electronic access to dimensions and properties of shapes published in the Manual of Steel Construction since the 5th Edition, and shapes from before that era as originally published in the book Iron and Steel Beams 1873-1952 (the predecessor to Design Guide 15). The database is the compliation of all of the structural steel shape dimensions recorded by AISC from 1873 to 2001. 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.

COMENTARIOS SOBRE EL LIBRO:

I have been a longtime user of the AISC 9th edition, which is the "green steel bible", used it for 15 years. Please note the color of the book's cover, which I gave it such a name! However, since steel technology has changed so over the course of these years, I finally decided to purchase the 13th edition of the "black steel bible", please note the color of this book's cover, which I gave it such a name! What I like most about the 13th edition of the AISC "steel bible" is the flexibility in using both Allowable Stress Design (ASD) versus Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) as well as new terminology and illustrative descriptions of steel connections (bolted and welded connection types). They serve to improve the methods by which steel structures are supposed to be designed. Some of the other books like the one I ordered had a CD-ROM included, mine did not.

I was required to buy this book for a steel design course, and was annoyed at first with how expensive and bulky this book was, since I assumed we would only be using it for the tables. Once I knew how to use the book, though, I grew quite fond of it. Not only are the tables clearly marked, but the Manual and the commentary in the back were better than our textbook at explaining which equations to use and how to apply them. We now call this book our "Bible" because it has helped and guided us through our steel courses, lol. It was the best money I ever spent on a textbook, and I'm not even considering ever giving the "Bible" up.
