Direct Analysis Method Applications and Examples

The Direct Analysis Method first appeared in the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings as an alternate way to design for stability. It was upgraded to Chapter C in the 2010 Specification as the primary method to design structures for stability. For the many engineers transitioning from the Effective Length Method to the Direct Analysis Method, the best way to learn is by example. Using a series of design examples that progress from quite simple to quite interesting, the attendee will leave with a real appreciation for how to apply this relatively new design method.

This course is based on a past AISC Live Webinar.
