Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-05)
This specification provides the generally applicable requirements for the design and construction of structural steel buildings and other structures. This ANSI-approved specification is the first edition to incorporate both allowable stress design (ASD) and load and resistance factor design (LRFD) methods. The design provisions for single angles and hollow structural sections are also included. Dual-units format provides for both U.S. customary and S.I. units. (2MB, 256 pages)

AISC/AISI Standard Definitions for Use in the Design of Steel Structures
This document is essentially a glossary of terms used in the standards produced by AISC and AISI, including the Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. (ANSI/AISC 360-05) (261kB, 11 pages)
Cross Reference List
Cross references the new 2005 AISC specification table of contents to the corresponding sections, where applicable, of past specifications. Cross references are given to the five standards that the 2005 specification replaces. (46kB, 8 pages)
Basic Design Values
Based upon the 2005 AISC specification, these two 5x8 cards distill out only the typically needed and used information. With these cards, one can perform simplified analysis and design all typical beams, columns, braces, tension members, and connections. These cards cover W-shapes, channels, hollow structural sections, pipe, bolts, welds and connected parts. Both ASD and LRFD are covered. (121kB, 4 pages)

Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 341-05)
This ANSI-approved specification is a companion to the Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-05) that extends coverage to the connection detailing and member design requirements for structural steel and composite structural steel and reinforced concrete systems in high-seismic applications. This new standard, dated March 9, 2005, replaces and updates the 2002 Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings as well as incorporating provisions for two new systems: buckling-restrained braced frames and special plate shear walls. Supplement No. 1 , dated November 16, 2005, is incorporated into the new seismic provisions which affects only the section on ordinary concentrically braced frames (OCBF). (5.2MB, 330 pages )

Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moments Frames for Seismic Applications (ANSI/AISC 358-05)
This standard has been developed by the AISC Connection Prequalification Review Panel in accordance with Appendix P of the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 341-05). The connections have been prequalified for use in special and intermediate steel moment frames, without the need for additional testing. The standard currently addresses three types of connections - the reduced beam section (RBS) connection, the bolted unstiffened extended end plate (BUEP) connection, and the bolted stiffened extended end plate (BSEP) connection. (1.2MB, 90 pages )
Code of Standard Practice for Structural Steel Buildings and Bridges (AISC 303-05)
The Code provides a framework for a common understanding of the acceptable standards when contracting for structural steel. As such, it is useful for everyone associated with construction in structural steel. Unless specific provisions to the contrary are contained in the contract documents, the existing trade practices that are contained herein are considered to be the standard custom and usage of the industry and are thereby incorporated into the relationships between the parties to a contract.

Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Safety-Related Steel Structures for Nuclear Facilities (ANSI/AISC N690L-03)
The Specification addresses the design, fabrication, and erection of steel safety-related structures for nuclear facilities. This document provides an alternate method of design to that given in the ANSI/AISC N690-1994, including Supplement No. 1, which is based on allowable stress design. (236kB, 60 pages)
ASD Specification for Safety-Related Steel Structures for Nuclear Facilities (ANSI/AISC N690-1994)
(The above document is no longer being produced in printed form. A PDF of the above document will be available, and linked here, within the next few weeks (April '08). We apologize for the inconvenience.)

Specification for Safety-Related Steel Structures for Nuclear Facilities (ANSI/AISC N690-06)
This AISC standard, Specification for Safety-Related Steel Structures for Nuclear Facilities (ANSI/AISC N690-06), dated September 20, 2006, includes both the load and resistance factor design and allowable strength design methods of design, and is a supplement to the AISC 2005 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. The document applies to the design of safety-related steel structures and steel elements in nuclear facilities and replaces ANSI/AISC N690L-03 and ANSI/AISC N690-94 (R2004). It has been approved by the AISC Committee on Specifications and it is ANSI-accredited.
