Steel Construction Manual, 16th Edition
The Steel Construction Manual is the authoritative reference for professionals who design, fabricate, and build with structural steel. Now in its 16th edition, the current manual features:
- New 50 ksi design tables
- Properties and dimensions for 210 new HSS
- Revised and expanded discussion of prying action
- Updated discussion on the chevron effect, as well as new information and a new table on wrap-around gusset plates
- and more!
Design Guide 24: Hollow Structural Section Connections (Second Edition)
This updated design guide updates AISC’s resources for HSS connection design, greatly expanding upon the background discussion for each connection. The thorough explanations of the relevant limit states and the experimental results for each connection lend the reader an invaluable insight into the rationale behind each connection design procedure. The expanded guide includes many new connection types and a dozen new design examples.

Design Guide 39: End-Plate Moment Connections
This Design Guide centralizes AISC’s existing design procedures for end-plate moment connections (Design Guides 4, 16, and AISC 358-22 Chapter 6) into a single consistent document. It includes an extensive literature review, thorough discussions of design concepts, updated design procedures consistent with the latest research, and many (33!) design examples. The design procedures now also cover an expanded 15 end-plate configurations. This Design Guide serves as a comprehensive resource for the understanding and design of end-plate moment connections.
Design Guide 38: SpeedCore Systems for Steel Structures
This Design Guide offers everything you need to know to harness the power of SpeedCore, a concrete-filled composite plate shear wall system that allows lightning-fast erection without waiting for concrete to cure. The guide covers coupled and uncoupled systems in planar, C-shaped, and I-shaped configurations. It also includes critical information about designing for wind, fire, and seismic considerations, along with extensive design examples.
