(Ebook) Companion to the AISC steel construction manual vol. 2 Design Tables by American Institute of Steel Construction

The objective of this Companion is to provide additional design tables beyond what are incorporated into the 15thEdition AISC Steel Construction Manual.Tables in this Companion that present available strengths are developed using the geometric conditions indicatedand applicable limits states from the 2016 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-16).Given the nature of the tables, and the possible governing limit state for each table value, linear interpolationbetween tabulated values may or may not provide correct strengths.Tables are arranged with LRFD and ASD designs presented side-by-side, for consistency with the AISC Manual.Design with ASD and LRFD are based on the same nominal strength for each element so that the only differencesbetween the approaches are the set of load combinations from ASCE/SEI 7-16 used for design, and whether theresistance factor for LRFD or the safety factor for ASD is used.
