The American Institute of Steel Construction invites the public to review and comment on part of its Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341).

These provisions apply to the design, fabrication, and erection of structural steel and composite steel and concrete seismic force-resisting systems. AISC expects to finalize and release the document later this year.

Revisions to Table D1.1a in that standard are available for public comment from May 13, 2022 to June 12, 2022.

Table D1.1a details width-to-thickness ratios for diagonal braces. This is the only part of the specification that is currently available for public review and comment.

Sometimes it’s nice to have too much of a good thing. We received more NASCC: The Steel Conference Preview Papers than we were able to fit into the print version of MSC in advance of the conference, so we’ve posted the “bonus” articles here. The conference takes place March 23-25 in Denver. Visit aisc.org/nascc for more information and to register.
