Background and supporting literature references for the Al se Steel Constrllction Mallual. Larger pipe, HSS and angle sizes have al so been incorporated into the dimensions and prop- erties tab les in Pan l. In Part 6, a new design aid is included that provides the width-to-thickness slenderness limits for various stee l strengths. In Part 6, a new design aid is included that provides the avai lable f1exural strength, available shear strength, avai lable compress ive strength, and available tensi le strength for W-shapes in one table.

In Part 9, a new interaction eq uation is provided for connection design based on a plastic strength approach. In Part 9, a new approach to designing coped beams is presented based on recent studies. Mark V. Hol land , Chairman Wi ll iarn P. Jacobs V Gary C. Meng Scott Adan Larry S.

Scott, Marc L. Sorenson , and Sriram ulu Vi nn akota. The spec ification requirements and other design recornmendati ons and considerations surn- mari zed in thi s Manual app ly in general to the desi gn and construction of steel buildings aod other struclUres.

The Manual consists of seventeen parts addressing various topies related to steel building design and eonstruction. Part I provides the dirnensions and properties for structural products cornmon ly used.

For the des ign of conneetions, see Parts 7 through Tables in the Manual that present available strengths are developed using the geometrie con- ditions indicated and the applieable limil states from the AISC Specificationfor Structural Steel Buildings. Given the nature of the tables, and the possible goveming limit state for each table value, linear interpolation between tabulated values may or may not provide correct strengths.

Card 1 contains equations to calculate the available strength of W-, S-, C-, and MC-shapes in tension, shear, flexure and compression. Card 2 provides equations for determining the available strengths of bolted or welded connections and connected parts. Card 3 is similar to Card 1 except it covers the available strength for square, rectangular and round HSS shapes.

Card 4 gives a summary for stability design of structures using either the first-order, effective length, or direct analysis methods. This card also provides a "simplified method" that is based on the effective length method. These cards have limitations and are not intended to be solely relied upon as a replacement to the Manual or Specification. Note that some solutions obtained using this card may be more conservative than those provided by the Specification.

As indicated in the Related Info and Notes sections on the cards, there are certain situations where the equations on these design cards may not be applicable, or an equation may require use of a modification factor.

The new standard provides an HSS with improved performance and can result in more efficient steel designs. AISC has prepared a number of resources below to help introduce A into the steel marketplace and to help engineers use it in design. Shapes are available in square, round and rectangular sections. Shape dimensions and section property tables are available in PDF format based on the nominal wall thickness for square, round and rectangular A HSS.

The shape dimensions and section properties for square, round and rectangular A HSS are also available in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Steel Tube Institute steeltubeinstitute. View flyer.
