Steel Design Guide: Low-and Medium-Rise Steel Buildings

About this episode

A technical reference published by the American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. (AISC). The guide offers detailed engineering principles and suggested procedures for the economical construction of steel-framed buildings. Key topics include basic design rules for economy, considerations for live load and bay size selection, and in-depth discussions on composite floors and open web steel joist floor systems, including analysis of floor vibration issues. Additionally, a large section is dedicated to wind load design, presenting methods for optimizing braced frames and implementing unbraced frame design procedures, primarily using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specification.
