Member Provisions of the 2005 AISC Specification for Steel Buildings
Publication: Structures Congress 2005: Metropolis and Beyond
Abstract
The provisions of the 2005 AISC Specification for Steel Buildings provide for the design of members according to building code provisions for both ASD and LRFD load combinations. The requirements for design to resist tension, compression, flexure, and shear will be discussed along with the provision for force interaction. Comparisons will be made between the 1989 ASD, 1999 LRFD Specifications and the new 2005 "unified" Specification. Emphasis will be given to the unifying philosophy of the Specification and the specific nominal strength provisions.
